This charming riverside cottage offers a unique opportunity to live in an idyllic location, on the banks of the river Stour.
The property is accessed via a footbridge from Dedham Mill - where the vendors benefit from gated, off-road parking - which leads to a shingle path and through a picket gate to the property. The path splits alongside the lock with one path taking the visitor further along the river towards the gardens, whilst the other path takes the visitor to the kitchen door.
An abundance of Gothic style windows complements the more standard casement windows, with all offering exquisite views throughout the house, of the river and surrounding Suffolk countryside.
Once inside, the kitchen is presented in rich shaker style, with solid wood worktops offering ample space for food preparation, whilst the electric range adds a hint of 21st century luxury for an enthusiastic cook.
For those who enjoy formal dining, a large dining room is situated adjacent to the kitchen, with double doors opening out onto the gardens and river beyond.
A bright airy sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, allowing its occupant to feel at one with the outdoors 365 days of the year. An open fireplace offers warm comfort and atmosphere during the cooler months.
A further reception room, replete with open fireplace, is currently used as an office - however this room could also be a very comfortable second sitting room or perhaps, playroom.
A shower room and utility complete the ground floor accommodation.
A turning, solid wood staircase leads to the first floor where the principal bedroom has a peaceful, triple aspect - with double doors opening onto a balcony, which benefits from outstanding views. Two further double bedrooms and a charmingly appointed family bathroom complete the accommodation.
The gardens wrap around the property to three sides, with the river Stour running alongside the remaining side. A raised, decked terrace offers a tranquil spot for outside dining and general socialising when the weather permits. A private mooring allows for easy access to the water for either rowing or paddle boarding.
