Church Road, Stowupland, Stowmarket

A beautifully presented and highly individual period cottage, believed to date back to the 18th century, displaying attractive colour-washed elevations beneath a traditional tiled roof. Occupying a particularly appealing position within the well-regarded village of Stowupland, the property has been sympathetically enhanced to combine modern comforts with a wealth of retained character features.

The property offers a surprisingly spacious and beautifully presented interior, arranged over three floors and displaying a wealth of character throughout. A front door opens into the sitting room, a warm and inviting space featuring wooden flooring and an attractive exposed brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove forming a natural focal point. A staircase rises to the first floor, whilst an opening leads through to the dining room.

The dining room provides an excellent area for entertaining and everyday dining, enhanced by exposed timbers which subtly divide the space and create a charming, semi open-plan feel. Beyond, the kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units beneath solid wood work surfaces, incorporating an inset sink, integrated oven and hob, and space for further appliances. A skylight provides additional natural light, and a stable-style door gives direct access to the rear garden.

On the first floor, a generous Suffolk landing offers a highly versatile space, ideal as a study or additional living area, and continues the property’s characterful theme with exposed timbers and wooden flooring. There is a well-proportioned bedroom with a front-facing outlook, together with a bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, wash basin and WC.

A further staircase rises to the second floor where the principal bedroom occupies the entire level. This is a particularly striking room, featuring a vaulted ceiling with an array of exposed timbers and a central brick chimney breast, creating a space full of character and charm.

Outside - The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, extending away from the cottage and laid predominantly to lawn, interspersed with well-stocked borders and established planting. A pathway leads through the garden, offering attractive areas for seating and outdoor enjoyment. To the rear of the property, the property benefits from a neatly arranged shingled driveway providing off-road parking.

Location - Stowupland is a popular and well-served village, offering a range of amenities including a well-regarded primary school, village shop, public house and church.
The nearby market town of Stowmarket provides a more comprehensive range of facilities, together with a mainline railway station offering regular services to London Liverpool Street, making the property well placed for both local living and commuting.
