This charming two-bedroom detached cottage is believed to date back to the 1850s, originally serving as the gatekeeper’s cottage for the former Bentley Station on the Norwich to London mainline. Rich in character and history, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, together with generous parking, a garage, and attractive enclosed gardens.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway leading to a separate dining room, a cosy sitting room, and a kitchen. There is also a rear lobby, shower room, and a useful lean-to/utility room. On the first floor, the property offers two double bedrooms, both featuring fitted wardrobes, making excellent use of the space.

Outside, a side driveway provides off-road parking for four to five vehicles, and there is a detached garage. The gardens are a particular feature, laid mainly to lawn and fully enclosed, creating a private and appealing outdoor space.

The cottage is served by LPG gas, oil-fired central heating, and a septic tank.

Bentley Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School lies just 600 metres away, with additional primary schools available in Tattingstone and Capel St Mary. Secondary schooling is well catered for, with the highly regarded East Bergholt High School less than 4 km away, and further options including Holbrook Academy and Manningtree High School within easy reach.

Conveniently positioned, the property enjoys excellent access to Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk, via the A12 to the north, and to the historic city of Colchester to the south.

Offered with no onward chain, this characterful home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic property in a desirable and well-connected Suffolk village.
