Rose Cottage, 52 Mill Road, Saxmundham, IP17 1DS

Full of character and charm, this beautiful two bedroom detached cottage sits right in the heart of Saxmundham and offers a home that feels genuinely different from the moment you step inside.

With exposed timber beams, sash style double glazed windows and a fantastic central wood burner, the property has retained all the features you would hope to find in a cottage, while still providing comfortable and practical accommodation. Whether you are looking for your first home, a character property to downsize to, or something with potential as a holiday let or serviced accommodation, this is an incredibly versatile property.

Approaching the cottage, there is off road parking for multiple vehicles alongside a generous, fully enclosed garden, providing far more outside space than you might initially expect from such a central location.

Inside, the ground floor is dominated by a fantastic open plan living and dining space. Exposed beams run across the ceilings and immediately give the room its character, while the chimney breast sits centrally between the two areas. A double sided wood burner can be enjoyed from both the living and dining spaces, making it a real focal point of the home and giving the whole ground floor a warm, cosy feel.

The dining area enjoys plenty of natural light from the sash style windows and offers ample room for a full dining table, while the living area provides a comfortable space to relax. The open layout works particularly well, retaining the feeling of a traditional cottage without making the accommodation feel enclosed.

Leading from the main living space is a generous galley style kitchen, while the family bathroom is also positioned on the ground floor.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to two good sized double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms also benefits from its own private WC, a particularly useful addition to the first floor.

Throughout the property, the exposed timbers have been beautifully preserved and work brilliantly alongside the lighter, neutral decoration. Combined with the sash style windows and wood burner, there is plenty of period character without the property feeling dark or dated.

Positioned centrally within Saxmundham, the cottage is particularly well placed for access to the town's amenities and transport links, while its location could also make it an interesting option for those working in the wider area, including Sizewell.

A genuinely charming detached cottage with parking, a substantial garden and bags of character, offering plenty of possibilities for its next owner.
