Full description
An excellent conversion of a former farm building dating back to the 18th century into an unusual and charming SEMI-DETACHED COTTAGE providing deceptively spacious, well maintained, light and airy accommodation. Of brick construction with colour washed rendered elevations under a tiled roof the conversion was carried out approximately 30 years ago. "Finn Cottage" is situated in the popular and much and sought after village of Little Bealings approximately 6 miles from the county town of Ipswich and 2 miles from the market town of Woodbridge, on the banks of the River Deben.
The property enjoys delightful views from the first floor accommodation over the Fynn Valley and surrounding countryside. The village church and village hall are only as short walk away and there is easy access to junior and senior schools in Ipswich, Kesgrave and Woodbridge. In addition, there are good road and rail networks with the A12 providing access to the famed heritage coastline including the likes of Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Southwold and Snape Maltings Concert Hall.
There are also excellent sailing and golfing facilities in the area. Early possession is available and there is NO CHAIN.
