The Property
14 Cross Street is a substantial timber framed semi detached house with rendered and colour washed walls and pantiled roof, dating back to the 18th century. The cottage has recently been overhauled over the last few months with the aim of offering light spacious family living with the retention of period features and character. The current owners have invested heavily in the restoration and have paid particular attention to the final finish and detail. The cottage has been completely re-wired, re-plumbed and benefits from a brand new gas fired heating system, with new radiators and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. Structural works have also been carried out at the cottage with the re-construction of the side wall and re-furbishment of the pantiled roof, which has recently been insulated to the loft areas.
On entering, a new front porch way welcomes you into the property and provides a nice divide before walking into the front sitting room. The sitting room is a great sized family room with exposed timbers, brickwork,' karndean' flooring and inset spotlights. In between the exposed timber and studwork are lime plaster elevations, giving the walls a traditional and authentic feel. In addition, there is planning permission to install a wood burning stove. A new timber doorway opens into the kitchen/breakfast room, which has been refitted with a superb farmhouse style kitchen, comprising shaker base units with work surfaces over. The kitchen has a built in ceramic sink, integral dishwasher and space for a range style cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a small lobby area and utility room. The utility room was formerly the family bathroom, but is now a useful space with further appliance storage, a sink, wc and the new gas fired boiler.Situated at the back of the house is the dining room, which has patio doors leading out into the courtyard garden. Stairs rise from the kitchen up to the first floor landing where you will find three excellent double bedrooms, a large landing, en-suite and family bathroom. The layout has been transformed to create an extra family bathroom and a former cloakroom has been changed to an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom. Two of the bedrooms look out onto the street scene, while the master bedroom looks out over the rear courtyard garden. The bathrooms have been refitted with modern, white fittings and of particular note is the role top bath located in the family bathroom. We strongly recommend a viewing of this wonderful family home conveniently positioned in the centre of Hoxne village.

Directly at the back of the house is the private courtyard garden which is fully walled, providing a secluded feel. The garden itself is mainly laid to patio, with shingle areas for a low maintenance and stress free garden. There is ample room for entertaining and a side gateway leading back onto the pathway. Beyond the courtyard garden is a useful service area with space for bins and calor gas.
