Clare, Sudbury, Suffolk

A charming period cottage tucked away on one of Clare's most characterful streets, where exposed beams, sash windows and original fireplaces tell the story of a house with a past. Set within the historic heart of Clare, 7 Callis Street is a wonderfully traditional three-bedroom home with all the quirks and character one might hope to find in a period Suffolk cottage.

Behind the front door, an entrance porch leads through to the principal living space: a generous lounge and dining room where exposed beams and a feature fireplace create an immediately warm and welcoming atmosphere. A sash window draws in natural light from the front, while the beamed partition gives the room a pleasing sense of separation without losing its open, sociable feel.

Beyond, the scullery provides a useful additional space, complete with another feature fireplace and built-in storage. The kitchen sits to the rear of the house, fitted with a range of units, an integrated oven and hob, and a stable door opening out towards the garden. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, with the two principal rooms enjoying sash windows overlooking Callis Street. The third bedroom looks out to the rear and would lend itself equally well to use as a child's bedroom, dressing room or home office. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

The low maintenance rear garden is predominantly laid to block paving with beds to border. There is also a building used as a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, central heating boiler, space for a tumble drier, and power and light connected.

What makes this house particularly special is its setting. Callis Street is one of those wonderfully atmospheric corners of Clare, a town celebrated for its timber-framed buildings, independent shops and strong sense of community. From here, the town's historic centre, countryside walks and everyday amenities are all close at hand.

A home of genuine period character, offering the opportunity to become part of the fabric of one of Suffolk's most beautiful and historic market towns.
