Description
Located in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 1 Model Cottages offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property in a sought-after peninsular village location abutting farmland to the rear and has outstanding rural and distant sea views.  Offering the incoming owner an opportunity for a "lifestyle" change in this unique area of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The property has been extended prior to the current vendors tenure and provides comfortable accommodation whilst retaining some of its original character.  The dual aspect sitting room is a light space with French style doors that take in the wonderful views to the rear.  The dining room is part of the original building with exposed floorboards and a brick fireplace, with recesses to side.  This room opens to the kitchen which has a range of matching wall and base units, a four-ring electric hob with electric oven under and extractor hood over.  There is space for appliances,  ceramic tiled floors, window to the rear and external door to the garden.  A shower room is also located on the ground floor.  On the first floor there are two double and a single bedroom.      

Outside
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with the rear garden enclosed by post-and-rail fencing to make the most of the far-reaching farmland and distant sea views. The front garden provides a wonderfully private and secluded green space, enclosed by hedging and offering an idyllic spot to sit and enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. To the rear, the generous garden features a large, paved terrace extending almost the entire width of the property, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Well-established shrub and hedge borders add colour and interest, while a brick outbuilding provides useful storage with both power and light connected. A driveway provides convenient off-road parking. The real highlight of the outside space is undoubtedly the beautiful outlook to the rear, encompassing sweeping farmland and distant views of the sea. The property offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace a more relaxed lifestyle, surrounded by the natural beauty and tranquillity of the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
