Bulls Road, Hemingstone

An impressive detached thatched Grade II Listed farmhouse set within a highly sought-after Suffolk hamlet. The Rosery has been carefully maintained and is presented to an excellent standard throughout, retaining a wealth of period features. Of particular note is the striking display of exposed timbers and studwork found throughout, lending warmth and authenticity to this most special of properties.

The ground floor of the original cottage comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory and family bathroom. A more recently constructed wing provides a versatile ground floor bedroom, home office, wet room and utility room lending itself equally well to annexe or multi-generational living if required.

The kitchen is fitted with handmade solid oak units, slate tiled flooring and integrated appliances. The dining room features a brick fireplace with bressummer beam and external door to the garden.

To the first floor, three further bedrooms are accessed via two staircases, each offering far-reaching countryside views and exposed timbers beneath vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom has an en suite cloakroom, as does the second bedroom, which also serves as a dressing room.

Outside, a private driveway leads to generous parking for multiple vehicles. A timber garage connects to a store and workshop, both with power and light. A brick outbuilding with pantiled roof houses the bore hole water supply, serviced annually. The grounds extend to approximately one acre, beautifully landscaped with flowering beds and borders, well-established trees, terraced areas and a water feature. Planning consent has been granted for a 16-panel solar installation with battery backup, sufficient to power the property.
