An idyllic Grade II listed cottage with stylish extension, cleverly blending the original character with contemporary nuances, set back in delightful gardens of 0.22-acre.

Situated within this well-regarded village convenient for Lavenham and Bury St Edmunds, Moat Cottage is an idyllic Grade II listed cottage, built of traditional timber-frame construction under a recently re-thatched roof.

Believed to date back to the 17th-century, Moat Cottage has been cleverly extended with a glazed contemporary 'live-in' atrium-style kitchen/breakfast room which complements the traditional 'cosy' cottage. Moat Cottage retains much of its original charm, with the exposed frame and substantial red brick inglenook fireplace and chimney breasts evident throughout.

The accommodation comprises a double-aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove and walkway to the double aspect dining room with useful understairs storage and doors to the garden as well as access to the study (or occasional bedroom) with exposed timbers and chimney breast.

The double-height kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a panoramic outlook over the wonderful gardens, extensively fitted with a modern shaker-style base and eye level units, integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, freestanding range cooker with extractor over, tiled flooring and bespoke fitted blinds. There is a modern ground-floor bathroom.

There are two staircases leading to each bedroom. The principal bedroom being cleverly fitted with bespoke wardrobe and drawer units ensuring a great deal of storage space, together with a interior window opening to a platform/mezzanine with views into the kitchen over to the garden and fields.

The second staircase leads to the guest bedroom, accessed from the sitting room, with exposed timbers and window overlooking the front garden.
