Location
As the name suggests, the property is situated adjacent to the neighbouring converted chapel, occupying a pleasant non-estate position just a short drive from the centre of Finningham. This attractive semi-rural village is surrounded by open countryside, with a network of local walks and the small River Dove passing through the parish. Finningham itself has a public house, The White Horse, while the nearby village of Bacton, approximately 2 miles away, provides a well-stocked village store and further useful amenities. For a more comprehensive range of facilities, Stowmarket lies approximately 8 miles to the south and offers a good selection of shops, services and leisure facilities, together with a mainline railway station providing regular connections to London Liverpool Street. The market towns of Diss, Bury St Edmunds and Needham Market are also within convenient reach, broadening the choice of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. The area is well connected by road, with access to the A143 and A140, together with onward links to the A14.

Property
The cottage has an immediately appealing appearance, with its draped wisteria and pair of dormer windows combining to create a particularly attractive, almost ‘chocolate box’ façade. Inside, the accommodation offers a lovely balance for year-round living, retaining plenty of character throughout. The comfortable sitting room has exposed beams and a chimney breast with wood-burning stove, creating a cosy setting during the cooler months, while to the rear, a spacious conservatory adjoins the kitchen and enjoys excellent views across the garden – an ideal place to relax and enjoy the outlook during warmer weather.

From a practical perspective, the well-appointed kitchen is complemented by a dining area off the entrance hall, while traditional latch doors open to a useful utility room and ground floor bathroom. Stairs rise to the first floor landing, where inset beams continue the character of the cottage, with doors leading to two double bedrooms. The front bedroom benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes, while the rear bedroom enjoys lovely views over the garden. A useful cloakroom/WC completes the first floor accommodation.

Outside
The gardens have a wonderfully established, country feel, with areas of lawn and patio interspersed with well-stocked herbaceous borders, mature shrubs and an abundance of planting, creating plenty of interest throughout. The varied spaces provide an attractive setting for those who enjoy gardening and spending time outdoors, with secluded corners in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Tucked amongst the established planting is a useful timber barn/store, full of rustic charm in its own right, together with a greenhouse positioned beneath the mature willow. Overall, the garden has an informal and tranquil quality which sits particularly well with the character of the cottage.
