Location

The Old Wool Shop will be found in the very centre of the popular village of Yoxford.  This highly desirable village benefits from a village store, an assortment of antique shops and galleries, a primary school, tennis, bowls and cricket clubs, cafés and Satis House restaurant/hotel. The village is located adjacent to the A12 trunk road giving it easy access to the north and south of the county, as well as the nearby market town of Saxmundham, just 4½ miles to the south, which provides a good selection of amenities, including Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, banks, doctors surgery, chemist, ironmongers and dry cleaners. The Heritage Coast is nearby with the popular coastal resorts of Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, and the pretty villages of Westleton and Snape, the latter being home to Aldeburgh Music. The internationally renowned RSPB Minsmere, with its fantastic coastal nature reserve is only 6 miles to the east. The nearby railway station at Darsham, provides regular services to Ipswich and onto London Liverpool Street Station.

Description

The Old Wool Shop is a delightful, attached, period house which is believed to date from the mid 19th Century.  It has been extended over the centuries/decades and is of predominantly brick and timber construction under a tiled roof.  Both internally and externally, there are a number of period features but the house also benefits from modern conveniences including double glazing to many of the windows and a gas fired central heating system.  On the ground floor are three reception rooms plus a well equipped kitchen and a utility room.  On the first floor are four bedrooms, a good sized bathroom and in addition a shower room.  Externally, there are well kept gardens where there is also off-road parking, a double garage and a further garage/workshop.
