Stanstead, Sudbury, Suffolk

A beautifully fully refurbished three-bedroom detached cottage that was rethatched in 2022 sitting within generous grounds amounting to circa 0.2 acres. Sympathetic refurbishment works were commenced by the current owner in 2017and have been a real labour of love. These works include replacing windows, reinstating inglenook fireplaces, new log burners, new flooring, heating, kitchen and bathroom whilst retaining and reinstating many of the property's original character features.
