Description

Sitting on the boundary of the much sought-after villages of Ashbocking and Otley lies this five bedroom character cottage offering breathtaking unspoilt field views from the rear. The cottage has been extended by the current owners over the years creating a wonderful family home now incorporating four bedrooms to the first floor and a separate self-contained bedroom & kitchenette with en-suite shower room to the ground floor, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Occupying a marvellous position on the corner of Thomsons Lane, the cottage benefits from a detached double garage with office space, off-road parking for three / four cars to the side, and a secluded and non-overlooked rear garden butting onto a private lane. As agents, we recommend the earliest possible viewing to fully appreciate the setting and views together with the size of the accommodation. On the ground floor there is a front porch; dining room; snug with wood burning stove; garden room; kitchen; utility / boot room; wet room; and a good size double bedroom & kitchenette with en-suite shower room. On the first floor are four further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room; and a family bathroom.

The village of Ashbocking lies approximately seven miles North of the county town of Ipswich which offers a range of local amenities including schools, university, shops, doctors, dental surgeries, hospital, two theatres, parks including the popular Orwell Country Park, recreational facilities, and mainline railway station providing direct links to London Liverpool Street Station with a journey time of approximately 1hr 15mins. The vibrant waterfront has undergone an extensive rebuilding and gentrification programme and now boasts some fashionable bars and restaurants, together with the University of Suffolk.

Otley is a rural Suffolk village situated around 7 miles to Woodbridge and 8 miles to the North of Ipswich. It holds a typical village feel and great community spirit with its residents regularly meeting up and hosting meetings. It is the home of Otley College which offers vocationally focused courses in a number of different areas. Further educational facilities include Otley Primary school, Otley under 5’s play group and a local village church. There is a handy village convenience store which also doubles as a Post Office and is run by local residents Penny and Andrew, a good quality pub serving great food and local beer with bus links linking up to the other villages and towns of Ipswich and Woodbridge. There is an excellent doctors surgery managed by the Debenham Group Practice. Otley is the birthplace of Roger Osborne who scored the only goal of the game in the 1978 FA Cup final for Ipswich VS Arsenal.
