Delightful cottage located off a country lane incorporating a self-contained annexe and attractive views over fields and the church
Enjoying an idyllic edge of village setting opposite the parish church, Church Cottage is a picturesque 16th Century Suffolk cottage, requiring general updating, together with a flexible use annexe.
Church Cottage dates back to the 16th Century and is Grade II Listed. The house sits well amidst mature gardens and grounds of about an acre. The cottage, with its pantile and thatched reed roof presents accommodation extending to some 1,875 sq ft, and includes an entrance hall with two well-proportioned reception rooms each featuring brick fireplaces and fine exposed ceiling stud timbers, together with brick flooring. There is a good size study, well-fitted compact kitchen and an appealing south facing garden room and cloak/shower room.
On the first floor, set off the landing, are three double bedrooms and a bathroom with the principal rooms enjoying the views across the gardens.
Adjacent to the cottage is a substantial brick built self-contained annexe which incorporates a spacious ground floor main room beyond which is a fitted kitchen. A staircase leads to a first-floor landing (bedroom possibility) together with double bedroom and a bathroom.
OUTSIDE
Twin gates access through a drive which sweeps to a circular parking area. There is a garage between the house and the annexe which lends itself to incorporating into the main accommodation of the house (subject to planning permission).
The gardens, which surround the cottage on all sides, are enclosed by mature hedgerows and post and rail fencing, include a south facing sun terrace, lawns, and an enclosed pond garden all interspersed with mature shrubs, beds and borders.
In all the property extends to about one acre.

I love this stretch of countryside, full of lovely country walks and offering delightful vistas over open fields and the church.
