The Property
2 Spring Meadow comprises a recently re-furbished two bedroom cottage (not listed), finished to a high standard throughout. Constructed of wattle & daub elevations with a smooth render finish, the cottage still retains part of the original timber frame with exposed beams and studwork. The current owners have completely transformed the cottage with a new roof, kitchen extension to the rear and re-furbishment throughout the interior.
On entering, you will find the sitting room, with feature fireplace & wood burning stove, separated from the dining room by exposed beams. Situated to the rear of the cottage is the kitchen which has a wide window with lovely views over the garden. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, the kitchen has been well planned with built in appliances including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and ‘Hotpoint‘ oven & hob. The utility room provides further space for appliances and includes a built in butlers sink and washing machine. Beyond the utility room is a cloakroom. The lobby has a separate door leading to the side of the cottage and a fine oak staircase leading up to the first floor landing.
Stairs rise to the spacious landing with two double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom leading off. The two bedrooms are double rooms, with the master facing to front aspect and the second bedroom to the rear. The bathroom has a hand wash basin with cupboards below, wc and a bath with shower over.
Outside
To the front of the property is a small front garden currently laid to grass with parking beyond. A driveway (owned by the property) provides access to the parking area. The adjacent property ‘Meadow View‘, farmland and a footpath have right of way to cross this driveway. The parking area would lend itself for a cart-lodge or garage, subject to relevant planning consents. A sandstone pathway leads down the side of the cottage to the rear gardens. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, being fully enclosed on all sides.
Location
2 Spring Meadow enjoys an enviable position, tucked away at the edge of Botesdale, yet is still located within walking distance to the village centre. The village of Botesdale is highly regarded as one of the most desirable places to live locally, having excellent facilities and amenities. The adjoining village of Rickinghall also provides an excellent range of facilities, and the two villages offer a co-operative supermarket, post office, primary school, doctors, dentist, church, take aways, pubs and other independent shops. Diss (located 6 miles away) offers further facilities and a train station with frequent trains to Norwich, Ipswich and London Liverpool Street. The historic town of Bury St Edmunds lies around 15 miles south west with access to the A14 connecting to Cambridge and the Midlands beyond.
