Justifiably listed Grade II as being of architectural or historical interest and of original timber frame construction with rendered and colour washed elevations under a pitched and thatched roofline, Moat Cottage is an excellent example of a quintessential detached Suffolk cottage. Retaining a host of original features including a large inglenook fireplace and a wealth of exposed timbers, in recent years Moat cottage has been the subject of stylish and contemporary extension and today demonstrates the pleasant and integrating harmony of architectural styling across the centuries. Very much loved and cherished by the current owners, Moat Cottage has recently benefitted from a new thatch, boiler and oil tank.

With the personality of the older cottage flowing through to the vaulted glazed roofline of the kitchen/garden room, an internal inspection of Moat Cottage is unreservedly recommended to appreciate the qualities of the cottage on offer, which also includes a cosy sitting room, separate dining room, study, two bedrooms (via separate staircases) and bathroom.

Occupying a generous linear plot approaching quarter of an acre, the gardens are a particular feature of moat cottage, being well stocked and providing a lovely degree of privacy and seclusion. A long gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking for several cars and possibly scope for the erection of a garage (subject to the relevant planning consents) From the end of the garden attractive rural views are afforded to adjacent countryside.

Centred around a number of traditional village greens, Cockfield has a thriving community with a post office/stores, historic village inn and the magnificent parish church of St Peter. Cockfield was crowned Small Village of The Year and sits in undulating countryside midway between the cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds and the historic medieval village of Lavenham. The nearby market town of Stowmarket provides a mainline rail link to London?s Liverpool Street station.
