A beautifully presented Grade II listed cottage with attractive garden and purpose-built studio, situated within this well-regarded village convenient for Lavenham and Bury St Edmunds.


Situated within this well-regarded village, Victoria Cottage is a beautifully presented and modernized Grade II listed cottage, believed to date back to the 16th century and originally forming part of one larger medieval hall house.

The property is built of traditional timber-frame construction under a clay pan-tiled roofline, and has been subject to many improvements over the last 9 years, resulting in a high-quality and comfortable home, cleverly fusing the character and original fabric with modern nuances and stylish accommodation, arranged over two floors and extending to around 1,044-sq-ft.

The kitchen has been updated and equipped with a stylish painted shaker-style kitchen with wood worktops and ceramic sink with drainer, integrated double oven, 4-ring hob with extractor and dishwasher, along with a utility cupboard.

The kitchen opens to a modern dining/garden room, with glazed doors to the garden and vaulted apex window. There is access to the principal bedroom, vaulted ceiling with glazed doors to the garden and a range of built in wardrobes and storage.

The ground-floor bathroom has been updated with a stylish modern suite comprising freestanding bath, walk-in shower, Fired Earth wash basin, WC and towel rail.
