Description
This charming, end of terrace Victorian cottage is well located for all that Orford has to offer, and within a short stroll of the centre of the village, the Norman Castle and the Quay. 

The property has been in the same family’s ownership for over 20 years, initially used as a holiday home, but in recent years run as a successful holiday let.  The accommodation presents very well throughout and comprises a 12’6 sitting room with open fireplace housing the woodburning stove, a well fitted kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom/WC on the ground floor.  On the first floor there is a landing, 12’5 twin aspect principal double bedroom, a single bedroom and shower room.

Immediately beside the property is a shared courtyard arrangement within which is a brick and pantile store shed that provides useful additional storage with power and light connected.  This building could be converted to provide a work from home facility or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.  Adjacent to the courtyard and slightly offset from the cottage is a generous private garden area.  This comprises a hard landscaped central area, laid to paving or shingle, which is interspersed with a number of mature and established shrubs - a delightful area that enjoys the sun throughout the day and into the evening.
