35 Chapel Street, Bildeston

Likely to date from the early Tudor period, 35 Chapel Street is an attractive cottage forming part of a range of jettied buildings, which are Grade II* listed.

Arguably occupying the most desirable residential area in Bildeston, the property is part of the historic linear pattern to Chapel Street, which joins the Market Square. 

Internally, the core ground floor accommodation is characterised by lofty front reception rooms with heavily timbered ceilings. An inglenook fireplace is a feature to the main sitting room, as well as two fine original arched doorways, one of which connects the two rooms. A prominent 19th century bay window is a feature to the dining room. 

Beyond an inner hall is a much later, single storey addition comprising the kitchen, which is chiefly fitted with beech worksurfaces and modernised base and eye level storage units. Integral appliances include Neff electric hob, double oven and a dishwasher. 

Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room (with WC) which provides a further hardwood worksurface to one wall, with additional storage facilities, space and plumbing for white goods, and an oil-fired boiler to one corner.

Accessed via the inner hall, the first floor provides two front double bedrooms with additional exposed wall timbers, and views over Chapel Street. To the rear is a single bedroom and a modernised bathroom, which serves all three bedrooms.   

Outside, the property provides a private, south facing garden which backs onto neighbouring gardens, giving a distinct rural feel. The garden consists of a rear patio which leads onto a large expanse of lawn which is defined by established flower and shrub beds. A pedestrian gate gives access to a right of way over neighbouring gardens, which returns to Chapel Street.
