A charming, unique, detached period cottage with extensive gardens enjoying a delightful setting within the picturesque village of Walsham-Le-Willows. All in 0.24 of an acre. No onward chain.

For many years, the site was previously run as a plant nursery and the cottage offers the added benefit of not being Grade II listed and provides space and potential to extend (subject to planning permission being granted by the local authority).

With origins estimated to date back to the 17th century and with various updates in more recent years, the accommodation is comprised of an entrance door opening to a charming lounge which displays a wealth of exposed timbers, a mullion window and an Inglenook fireplace. From the lounge the stairwell leads to the first floor, where there are two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom, all exhibiting exposed timbers. To the rear of the lounge opens to a conservatory which is a peaceful, light, relaxing area leading to the garden. The kitchen is south facing and fitted with an ample range of units and space for a cooker. There is a water softener under the sink. A utility cupboard is particularly useful. There is a downstairs cloakroom, which can be accessed from both the kitchen and outdoors.

Outside - The Garden House is approached through a pair of traditional five bar gates and a driveway (neighbours enjoy access over part) providing plenty of vehicle parking, turning space and space to build a cart lodge garage (subject to planning permission being granted). The extensive grounds/gardens are surrounded by mature native trees, which with several specimen trees, shrubs and roses provide an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. There is a greenhouse and polytunnel. Two timber sheds provide useful storage. In all, the area is 0.24 of an acre

Location - The cottage enjoys a delightful setting within easy reach of a range of local facilities. The village is home to an award winning butcher's shop, which also sells general groceries. There is a building merchant, a public house, a popular family sports centre and a well regarded primary school. The historic church has been a venue for concerts and organ recitals over the years. Walsham-le -Willows is well known for the annual "Open Gardens Weekend " at the end of August. The village is situated approx. 11 miles North East of Bury-St Edmunds and 12 miles from Stowmarket with its main line rail link to London.

Directions - When entering Walsham Le Willows from the direction of Badwell Ash/Bury St Edmunds, The Garden House will be found on the left-hand side.
