Description - Occupying a central position within the sought-after village of Cransford, Glebe Cottage is a beautifully renovated detached four-bedroom cottage that successfully blends period character with contemporary living. Enhanced by a striking modern extension, the property offers immaculately presented and highly versatile accommodation, complemented by generous gardens, extensive parking, a substantial double garage and the added advantage of no onward chain.

At the heart of the home is an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a light-filled space extending to over 24 feet in length. Designed for modern family life and entertaining, it features a bespoke glazed lantern roof light, full-height windows overlooking the garden, stylish dark blue shaker cabinetry topped with oak work surfaces, integrated appliances and a central peninsular breakfast bar. There is ample room for a large dining table, creating a wonderful social hub, while a separate utility room and walk-in pantry provide excellent practical storage.

The cottage retains much of its original charm, with exposed beams and a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove in the welcoming sitting room. A further reception room, currently arranged as a study, offers flexibility for home working or additional living space. Completing the ground floor is a versatile fourth bedroom, which could equally serve as a family room or snug, alongside a contemporary shower room.

Upstairs, three generously proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around a bright landing. Each enjoys attractive vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of space and character, while the principal bedroom and two further bedrooms benefit from fitted storage. A stylish family bathroom serves the first floor, fitted with a contemporary suite including a bath with shower over.

Outside, the property is set back from the road behind established hedging and a lawned front garden. A driveway extends along the side of the cottage to the rear, where there is ample off-road parking and a substantial detached double garage of more than 375 sq ft. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys a pleasant backdrop of mature trees, while a newly created patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.

A charming village home combining character, space and modern comfort in a desirable East Suffolk setting.
