High Street, Ufford, IP13

A rare opportunity to rent a truly individual home in the picturesque village of Ufford, just a short distance from Woodbridge. This charming detached former chapel dates back to 1860 and has been thoughtfully converted and improved over the years, creating a characterful home with generous and highly versatile accommodation.

The property is approached via a side porch, which opens into an inviting main living room. This forms the heart of the home and features a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character to the space.

To one side, an open-plan kitchen and dining area provides plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining, with an adjoining utility area. Beyond the kitchen is a particularly flexible additional room which could work equally well as a ground-floor bedroom, substantial home office or further reception room. A WC also serves this part of the property.

On the opposite side of the main living room is a generous garden room, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the patio and garden. This creates a lovely connection between the internal and outside spaces, particularly during the warmer months.

Stairs from the main living room rise to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms together with a smaller third room, ideal as a study, dressing room or occasional bedroom. The accommodation is completed by a main bathroom with a bath and shower over, alongside a separate shower room.

Outside, the property enjoys an established garden, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature shrubs and borders. A detached garage provides useful additional storage or parking, while a shingled driveway offers further off-road parking.

A gardener is included within the monthly rent and will maintain the mature borders and shrubs. Tenants will remain responsible for grass cutting and general weeding.

Please note that a stream runs along the bottom of the garden. Prospective tenants, particularly those with young children, should take this into consideration when assessing the suitability of the property.

Further benefits include gas central heating and an EPC rating of D.

With its historic character, flexible accommodation and attractive village setting, this is a distinctive home offering something quite different from the typical rental property.
