Long Thurlow Road, Great Ashfield

A beautifully preserved Grade II Listed cottage, painted in a warm heritage yellow with a traditional thatched roof and dating back to the early sixteenth century, this historic home provides a wealth of character and immaculately presented accommodation.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading to an inviting entrance hall with a classic cottage staircase leading to the upper floor. To the left, the characterful dining room offers double-aspect views, with exposed timbers and a feature inglenook brick fireplace with fitted backlighting.

To the right of the entrance hall lies the sitting room, a cosy, welcoming space centred around a second inglenook fireplace. This room has a beautifully rustic oak bressummer beam and an intricate wood surround with a wood-burner and sea grass carpet. The sitting room leads to a dual-aspect study or snug, perfect as a work-from-home space or reading room with sea grass carpet and another winding wooden staircase leading to the principal bedroom. From the study, a family bathroom can be found, adorned with a delightful free-standing ball and claw bath, a wash basin and toilet and traditional herringbone tile flooring and exposed beams.

The spacious open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with traditional terracotta pamment tiles and fitted with attractive cupboards, solid wood worktops and a large Butler sink. A spacious brick inglenook offers room for an Aga or large oven and the room offers plenty of space for an fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen opens seamlessly into a bright sun room, ideal for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the garden views.

A recent single-storey extension has enhanced the property further, adding a spacious double bedroom with garden views, leading to the existing shower room complete with a modern suite and is ideal as a guest bedroom.

Moving to first floor, the principal bedroom is accessed via one staircase and benefits from a dressing area and en-suite. Another bedroom is accessed from the entrance hall and both rooms have exposed chimney breasts with open fire places and beautiful exposed beams with recently fitted comfortable carpets.

The property features a spacious gravel drive, providing ample turning space and off-road parking. The rear garden, primarily laid to lawn are enhanced by attractive flower and shrub borders with mature fruit trees. An attractive heritage patio offers plenty of space for seating and entertaining.

The property is complemented by several outbuildings, including a large, summer house, Suffolk-style black barn home office equipped with heating and power, providing a perfect space for remote working, a double garage and home gym or workshop, both with power and heating. There is also the benefit of a paddock at the rear which hosts a variety of mature trees, field views and is accessed via the driveway
