Description

THE PROPERTY

Nestled in a picturesque location, this recently and sympathetically renovated Grade II listed cottage is a stunning example of period charm combined with modern comfort. The home welcomes you through its front door into a warm and inviting sitting room. This space can accommodate both dining and sitting furniture, with a striking exposed inglenook fireplace at its heart, complete with an oak beam mantle and a hand-crafted seating area adjacent. A front-facing window bathes the room in natural light, while a staircase leads to the first floor, and an oak door with a glass panel invites you into the kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen is a delightful blend of rustic charm and contemporary convenience, featuring exposed timbers and a range of matching wall and base units. The work surfaces are complemented by an inset sink with drainer and mixer tap, alongside an integrated electric oven, inset hob with extractor hood, and built-in dishwasher. A utility area neatly houses the two-year-old gas boiler and offers space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. The stable door provides access to the peaceful courtyard garden, while a window allows you to overlook the courtyard garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom, each accessed through beautiful solid oak doors with Suffolk latches. The principal bedroom enjoys a bright outlook over the charming front aspect of Maltings Lane, which leads to the idyllic Clare Castle Park. This room also features a useful built-in cupboard for storage as well as a traditional style column radiator, these can be found throughout the property. The second bedroom, with its exposed timbers and rear-facing window, offers a cosy retreat with built-in shelving to keep the space organized.

The bathroom is a carefully designed, fitted with a panelled bath, a wall-mounted shower with a glass screen, a close-coupled WC, and a wash hand basin. A towel rail radiator adds warmth, while tiled walls and a window to the rear aspect complete the serene feel of the space. A clever built-in storage area beside the bath ensures practicality doesn’t compromise style.

The rear courtyard garden is a tranquil haven, enclosed by panelled fencing to offer both privacy and charm. It’s the perfect spot for a small table and chairs, making it ideal for al fresco dining or simply unwinding in peace.

THE LOCATION

Clare, located in Suffolk, is a charming market town with a rich history and an abundance of amenities that caters well for residents. Nestled in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, Clare offers a serene and peaceful environment, making it a desirable place to live.

One of the town's standout features is its well-preserved historic character. Clare boasts a wealth of timber-framed buildings dating back centuries, giving it a distinctive and timeless atmosphere. The town is also home to Clare Castle, a Norman motte-and-bailey castle that adds to its historical allure.

In terms of amenities, Clare provides a range of local shops, boutiques, and cafes that line its picturesque streets. You'll find everything from antique shops to artisanal bakeries, making it a delightful place for shopping and indulging in local treats. The town also offers schools and healthcare facilities, ensuring residents have access to essential services right within their community.

Clare's welcoming community spirit is further complemented by its green spaces and recreational opportunities. Clare Country Park is a beautiful place to unwind, offering walking trails, a play area, and picnicking spots along the River Stour. This natural oasis is a popular destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike.

For those seeking larger town amenities, Clare is conveniently located within a short drive of larger Suffolk towns. Sudbury, known for its market, historic architecture, and a variety of shops and restaurants, is approximately 7 miles away. Bury St. Edmunds, a market town renowned for its cultural attractions and shopping, is around 20 miles from Clare. These towns provide additional shopping, healthcare, and leisure options to complement Clare's more intimate offerings.

THE HOLIDAY LET BUSINESS

The cottage has been run as a successful holiday let for almost three years. The owners have their own website and booking system to take direct bookings, which can be transferred to the new owners should they wish to carry on the business. Bookings are also taken over the Airbnb and Booking.com platforms with fantastic reviews and the owners benefit from repeat bookings from many guests that stay at the property whether they are on holiday, visiting family who live locally or business travellers. The cottage is registered with the council as a business and qualifies for small business relief so there are no annual rates to pay. This can easily be converted back to a residential property and council tax band reinstated. For those interested in continuing the business it will be possible to purchase all of the furniture, bedding, kitchen accessories etc from the current owners.
