3 bedroom cottage for sale

Situation Enjoying an ideal position within the village, the property is just a short stroll away from the many amenities and facilities this village has to offer. Queen Street is an attractive road with many surrounding period and attractive properties that form the village whilst being within a stones thrown of the open rural countryside having many rural walks to hand. Stradbroke is found on the north Suffolk borders and surrounded by the idyllic countryside yet still lies within close proximity to the neighbouring towns of Diss (with the mainline railway station with direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich), Eye and Framlingham (found 10 miles to the east). There is still a strong and active local community within the village having an excellent range of amenities and facilities including post office, convenience stores, butchers, public house, schooling and sports hall with swimming pool.

Description Dating back to the early mid 18th century this attractive looking semi detached cottage comes with immense character. The property is timber framed with a roughcast render while sitting beneath a charming thatched roof. Internally the property is well presented and over the years had been sympathetically maintained and improved. An extension to the rear of the cottage has enhanced the accommodation and created space for a new entrance and the modern downstairs bathroom. The entrance also provides access into the kitchen which then provides further access into the spacious lounge. The large inglenook fireplace with its inset log burner is an imposing yet welcoming feature and creates a cosy environment for the winter months. Upstairs you are greeted by the main bedroom which is generous in size and provides entry into the further two bedrooms.

Externally This attractive looking cottage welcomes you with a part block paved, part shingle driveway which provides off road parking for multiple vehicles. The front is enclosed by panel fence and pedestrian gate which leads to the rear of the property where you will find the entrance, this provides the feeling of privacy and security. The rear garden has had a lot of time invested into it by the current owners and is a most enjoyable place to relax and unwind. The landscaping that has been carried out has created a garden to be proud of and has multiple block paved areas whilst being predominantly laid to lawn. The sides are enclosed by panel fences whilst the rear has picket fencing to ensure that field views to the rear can be enjoyed to the fullest. An additional treat can be found to the very rear of the garden, just beyond the summerhouse you will find a natural pond which just adds to the charm this wonderful cottage possesses.
