Church Road, Theberton

A beautiful Grade II listed thatched cottage close to the RSPB Nature Reserve at Minsmere, which occupies a large plot abutting farmland and benefits from wonderful views over open and undulating Suffolk countryside. Lily Cottage is superbly presented and benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazing. The kitchen and shower room also have independent underfloor heating. The sitting room benefits from a fireplace with a wood burning stove and there is a fireplace with an open basket in the snug. The living room, at the back of the house, opens out to the garden via a pair of French windows. There is exposed chimney brickwork in this room with an old bread oven. The dining room has a double aspect and offers particularly good views of the garden; it could also be used as a fourth bedroom or an office. The kitchen is very well appointed with bespoke Shaker style cabinets and drawers created by Debenvale, a highly regarded local company. The integrated appliances, by Miele, include a dishwasher and a very smart almost new electric AGA. There is a tall shelved larder and a part glazed casement door to the garden. The shower room downstairs is ideally located next to the back door for gardener's, walkers and messy dogs and children! The kitchen is floored in oak. The snug, features exposed beams and early floor bricks which extend to the sitting room and dining room. The first floor bedrooms are well proportioned and are served by a pretty bathroom which has a shower over the bath. The second bedroom has beautiful exposed and polished floorboards.

The driveway leads to a large timber framed double garage which has potential (subject to consent) for use/adaptation as a work space or studio. There is a useful brick and pantile shed in the garden and a small boiler house. The garden is laid to lawn with established herbaceous borders and shingle seating areas and attractive retaining garden walls.
