Understood to date from the 17th Century, Walnut Tree Cottage is a classic, timber framed, Suffolk residence which has in the past been divided into a pair of cottages. Offering accommodation extending to some 2,120 sq ft, the cottage displays a wealth of fine timbers, has former mullion windows and on the first-floor wide oak boarded floors. The property has been a wonderful home to the current vendor for over 70 years, as he now retires to live next door, providing the opportunity for a new owner to create a charming country residence.
The house benefits from a recently installed oil-fired central heating system and has a wood burning stove in the main sitting room. The majority of the rooms enjoy views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. In addition to the two well-proportioned reception rooms there is a good-sized study, ground floor shower room and kitchen, whilst on the first floor, either side of the central landing, each of the double bedrooms have a connecting room beyond, with the potential to create an independently accessed bedroom for one and an en suite bathroom/dressing room for the other.
OUTSIDE

The gardens, which surround the property, are laid mainly to lawn and include oak and maple trees. Bordered on two sides by mature hedging, the open southern boundary bordering the adjacent farmland affords fabulous panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and skyscape. In all the property extends to a third of an acre.
