Wetheringsett, Suffolk

Renovation Opportunity - A charming unspoilt rural retreat with lots of outbuildings ready for modernisation, tucked away in a peaceful rural hamlet down a no-through lane with wooded gardens extending to 0.84-acre.

Situated in an enviable rural setting within this peaceful hamlet, The Cottage is a charming and authentic Grade II listed the property, offering a wealth of period features including original inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, studwork and some Suffolk brick floors.

The property has been a much-loved family home for many years, and whilst in good order, there are areas that would require some modernisation and improvement. The accommodation extends to around 1,900sq-ft arranged over three floors, comprising entrance hall, a double aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, another double aspect dining room with inglenook fireplace.

The kitchen would have been a 19th-century addition, providing a good-sized area with pamment floors and fitted shaker-style units with solid wood worktop and Belfast sink, space and plumbing for dishwasher. From the back door is a lean-to conservatory/boot room.

From the kitchen is access to a ground-floor bathroom, with airing cupboard, plumbing for washing machine and water softener.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, one of which has a large airing cupboard, besides which is a door to eaves cupboard that spans the length of the cottage. There is a steep staircase leading to the second floor, with attic bedroom and a further room which is compromised in its access but provides another option as a bedroom.
