Property description
Painted in Suffolk Pink, this beautiful cottage set in mature grounds with its own babbling brook, is truly idyllic. We understand the cottage dates back as early as the 17th century and has a wealth of oak beams and leaded light windows. Steeped in history it was once inhabited by nuns. The accommodation comprises a large sitting room, complete with its own bar; and separate dining room, perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. There is a stunning granite topped hand crafted fitted kitchen complete with a walk in pantry and separate utility room. The ground floor master bedroom has an en suite shower room with French doors leading out onto decking which overlooks the back garden, perfect for al fresco breakfasts. On the first floor are two further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom has a separate shower and twin basins. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area to the front of the cottage. There is a double cart lodge and a very charming timber built summerhouse complete with utilities, ideal for summer parties or would make a perfect artist's studio or office. There is current planning permission for a first floor extension allowing for another en suite bedroom and balcony.
