The Suffolk Heritage Coastline lies within a very short drive at nearby Thorpeness with is popular 'Meare' boating lake and a long shingle beach fronting the North Sea whilst the unspoilt town of Aldeburgh is only about four miles distant. The area is very popular with holiday makers, the National Trust nature reserves, RSPB Minsmere bird sanctuary and the Sanderlings Heath drawing visitors from across the country. The market town of Saxmundham, with its good shopping facilities lies about four miles to the west and offers good access to the A12 Ipswich to Great Yarmouth road and also has a railway station giving hourly services to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich.

Description - A particularly attractive village cottage, beautifully constructed in soft red brick with Flemish bond elevations beneath traditional slate roofs. The property enjoys an abundance of natural light through multiple sash-style double glazed windows, enhancing its charming character throughout.

Set well back from the road and overlooking open common land, the cottage is approached via a delightful front garden laid mainly to lawn and richly planted with a variety of flowering shrubs and mature yew trees, creating a picturesque and welcoming setting.

Internally, the property offers spacious and versatile accommodation. The entrance opens into a reception/dining hall featuring a brick open fireplace, forming the heart of the home and connecting to a central hallway with staircase, cloakroom, and access to the principal rooms.

The elegant sitting room is a standout feature, with panelled walls, exposed ceiling timbers, and a brick open fireplace, while enjoying views over the front garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, along with an electric hob and double oven, and is complemented by a utility room with a traditional butler sink overlooking a pond to the side.

A rear hallway provides access to the driveway and offers practical space for coats and storage. In addition, a secondary kitchen/hallway area leads to a timber and glazed lean-to conservatory, opening onto the parking area. From here, a useful study or ground floor bedroom with fitted wardrobes benefits from an en-suite shower and WC.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with dual aspect windows and fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a panel bath, basin, bidet, WC, and airing cupboard.

Outside, access is gained via Leiston Road through double gates opening onto a paved parking area, providing ample off-road parking and turning space. The rear garden is a notable feature, extending to approximately a quarter of an acre, offering a wonderful outdoor space.

An outbuilding adjacent to the parking area, constructed of part brick and part timber boarding beneath a pantile roof, has electric supply and houses the oil storage tank.
