Stour Street, Cavendish, Sudbury, CO10 8BH

Quote Ref: DP0213 when requesting further details of this thoroughly delightful two-bedroom part thatched Grade II listed cottage situated on the outskirts of Cavendish, one of the most popular villages in Suffolk. The property is steeped in character with an amazing inglenook fireplace, three reception rooms and a fabulous country cottage rear garden. 

This slice of history dating back to the 17th century is entered via the rear through the garden room, a glazed door takes you into this essential reception area for enjoying views of the garden, from this room there is a doorway to the downstairs cloakroom and also a door to the inner hallway. The inner hallway start to showcase the characterful theme for the property with 9” floorboards and solid wood character doors leading to the sitting room, dining room and kitchen.  The sitting room is a real showstopper of a room with an amazing brick surround inglenook fireplace with wood burner inset sitting on some herringbone brick base flooring and with an impressive bressummer beam. The chimney itself externally is a red brick diagonally shafted chimney stack that is a rare site. There are feature windows with a mullion secondary glazed window overlooking the garden and a further window overlooking the front views making this a delightful space. There is a door leading to the first set of stairs leading up to the first floor.  The dining room sits in the middle of the property overlooking the front views again with a wealth of character with exposed timbers and floorboards. The kitchen/breakfast room is a great size taking up the whole depth of the property, the kitchen has a fitted range of country style base units with solid wood worktops with a single drainer enamel sink inset, there is a fitted Rangemaster dual fuel oven with extractor hood over and a built-in wine cooler as well. The room has triple aspect windows overlooking the front, rear and side into the garden room. The breakfast area provides a great informal dining area all set on a ceramic tiled floor. The second set of stairs rise to the first-floor landing which in itself is big enough to create a study area or even a third (spare) bedroom, if needed. There are two built-in cupboards one of which is the airing cupboard, and a door leads into the family bathroom and a separate door leads to the second bedroom. The second bedroom is a generous and characterful double room with windows overlooking the amazing front farmland views and views over the garden. Bedroom one can be accessed via bedroom two or from the separate staircase creating a private entrance to it, a great sized double room with immense character and sloping floors and a feature fireplace with a healthy view of exposed brickwork. This room also has an en-suite shower room with corner shower, low level flush wc and handwash basin. The family bathroom has a four-piece suite with a claw foot freestanding bath, corner shower unit, low level flush wc and a hand wash basin.

Outside:

To the side of the property on the east side is a set of five bar gates that gives access to the driveway where there is parking for two cars. Then a side gate goes into the rear garden and where do I start here as this garden has had a lot of love poured into it over the years. The garden comes in two sections with an array of outbuildings. The outbuildings include a summer house, garden shed and  a bird house of which has power and lighting, there is a further garden summer shed to the rear with a smaller garden shed. 

From the garden to the immediate rear of the property there is a door to a very handy store and utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for additional storage, this forms part of the property itself.  There is a good-sized patio area that then leads to the garden. This garden is a wonderland of colour, structure and year-round interest. With barked walkways weaving their way around formal planted beds and borders with perennial and evergreen shrubs, flowers and plants which are all accompanied by numerous fruit trees to include a fig, apple, plum and cherry tree along with hazel and holly trees making this not only a haven for wildlife but also a gardener’s delight.
