Features and description
- Grade II Listed Cottage
- Lovingly Restored With Original Period Features
- Two Bedrooms
- Good Size Corner Plot
- Ample Off-Road Parking
- No Onward Chain
This charming red brick Grade II listed cottage, built in 1887, has been lovingly renovated by the current owner and restored to an exceptionally high standard whilst retaining many original period features. A new shower room and Shaker kitchen has been fitted and throughout the cottage are the original floorboards, mullioned windows and fireplaces; there is oil fired central heating, wraparound garden with brick built outbuilding, ample off-road parking, and is being sold with no onward chain.
As agents, we recommend the earliest possible internal viewing to appreciate the work that has gone into the renovation and accommodation comprises an impressive lounge, stunning newly fitted Shaker kitchen / breakfast room, newly fitted shower room, first floor landing and two bedrooms, the master being of a very generous size.
The village of Woolverstone is located on the Shotley Peninsula near the southern shore of the River Orwell. Local amenities include the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, popular Woolverstone marina which has a chandlery together with bar and restaurant, Ipswich High School, village hall and church. There is a regular bus service (route 202) which passes through the village and goes into Ipswich town centre.
History:
On the roof of the cottage is a carved monkey and there is a story that one of the Berners family returning from abroad, brought back a pet monkey which he kept in the back yard of the house, since called Monkey Yard. One night, a fire broke out and the monkey made so much noise that it woke the household and thus saved their lives.
