Description

A unique opportunity has arisen to purchase a beautiful cottage, believed to date back to the 1860’s, within the idyllic village of Aldringham-cum-Thorpe just a stone’s throw from Thorpeness Golf Club. This exquisite cottage, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, has been owned by the current owners for more than 20 years, was extended in 2004 and has been much improved over the years to a very high standard. The cottage is full of period features including original stripped wood internal doors and exposed beams, offers great views over the golf course from the front, and benefits from an incredible rear garden which is in excess of 300ft (subject to survey). The Follies is a row of just five cottages and is accessed via a track of approximately half a mile. The property is being sold with no onward chain, can be sold furnished under separate negotiation and comes with oil-fired central heating, double-glazing, and septic tank.

As agents, we recommend the earliest possible internal viewing to appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer which comprises cosy sitting room, dining room with bespoke built-in seating, kitchen / breakfast room with feature island, refitted ground floor bathroom, substantial conservatory, first floor landing, two double bedrooms, and a cloakroom.

The tranquil village of Aldringham is conveniently located less than three miles from the pretty coastal town of Aldeburgh and less than two miles from both the seaside village of Thorpeness and the vibrant town of Leiston. Aldringham is a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast which is well-known as being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provides a wealth of footpaths through woodlands and nature reserves, and along riverbanks.

Leiston provides a good range of shops and amenities including a Co-op supermarket, a chemist, a post office, a bank, doctors and dentist surgeries, vets, library, leisure centre, cinema and recreational parks as well as a selection of pubs. The town is served by a regular bus service to outlying villages and beyond and with Saxmundham’s railway station only four miles away, Ipswich and London are easily accessible.

Aldeburgh enjoys breath-taking views both seawards and following the river Alde inland towards Orford, and provides local amenities including craft, food and antiques shops, independent boutiques as well as some national chains, plus a myriad of pubs and an independent cinema.
