Three Double Bedrooms | Semi-Detached Cottage | South-Facing Garden | Triple Parking

Nestled within the picturesque riverside hamlet of Pin Mill, this beautifully refurbished three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a charming coastal-inspired home in one of Suffolk’s most desirable locations.

Upstairs, the property offers three generous double bedrooms, each retaining charm and character. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with views towards Pin Mill and features an original fireplace, creating a wonderful focal point. A newly refurbished shower room completes the first-floor accommodation, beautifully designed with a beach-inspired theme, walk-in shower, vanity unit, contemporary flooring and stylish wall panelling.

Outside

The south-facing rear garden is a private suntrap, perfect for enjoying morning coffee, alfresco dining or relaxing with an evening drink.
