A detached Grade II listed house in a sought after village location.
Description
CHAIN FREE – Tudor Cottage is a charming, detached cottage boasting 16th Century origins, located close to the heart of Bildeston, and forms part of its attractive street scene of similar period properties.
A welcoming reception hall, large enough to serve as a cosy snug, with an attractive red brick fireplace leads to a well proportioned sitting room boasting a wealth of period features such as exposed timbers and an impressive inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner. Adjacent to this, is the dining room with further exposed timbers and a partly exposed wattle and daub wall feature which is a charming reminder of the history of the building. Towards the rear of the house lies a modern, well-equipped kitchen (added 1987), offering base and eye level units and wood effect worktops, integrated Neff electric hob and oven, plumbing for dishwasher and washing machine, and includes a free-standing fridge. Beyond the kitchen is the pantry offering further storage and a free-standing freezer, and cloakroom opposite.
On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with separate bath and shower, and a large landing area offering a triple built in wardrobe. Exposed timbers are featured throughout the upstairs accommodation with attractive traditional wooden doors with Suffolk latches.
Outside to the rear of the property, immediately behind the kitchen lies a paved sun terrace ideal for Al Fresco dining during the warmer months, and a fully enclosed and private garden consisting of mainly lawn surrounded by attractive borders filled with an interesting variety of mature shrubs, plants and trees. The property also offers a fully insulated outbuilding with power and phone line (untested) connected, lending itself to many uses and a detached single garage with off road parking beyond.
Location Bildeston is a popular mid-Suffolk village approximately 5 miles from the market town of Hadleigh. The village is well served by a thriving Post Office/General Stores, Doctor’s Surgery, Primary School, the acclaimed Bildeston Crown, pubs, and the nearby Hollow Trees Farm Shop.
