About the Property The front door opens into a glazed entrance hall that seamlessly connects the original 18th-century thatched cottage with the more recent extension. The original building, dating back to c.1750, is a rare example of a traditional Suffolk cottage with a delightful thatch roof. This section features a charming sitting room with a superb brick fireplace housing a log burner, flanked by a former bread oven.

The kitchen is compact and well-designed, offering excellent views over the open countryside. Upstairs, the family bathroom boasts exposed timber beams and a rolltop bath with an overhead shower, W.C and a Wash Hand Basin.
