2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Immaculate cottage with panoramic views over the river.

Description

Old Granary Cottage is an immaculately presented Grade II listed converted granary, with exceptional river views.

Old Granary Cottage is the last in a row of former working quayside buildings. The present building dates back to the late 1700s and is a rare example of its kind.

The River Deben was a working river for many hundreds of years. Today, it is the domain of the leisure sailor and a haven for wildlife, a place of hidden creeks and moorings, tranquillity and charm.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. The ground floor consists of a hallway with muted brick flooring, a wonderful bright double bedroom with hand-built cabinetry, an en suite bathroom and benefits from lovely views out to the quay through the louvre-shuttered windows. There is also an understairs cupboard, which houses a Miele washing machine and a Bosch dryer.

Stairs lead up to a beautiful, bright, triple aspect open plan living space, which has far-reaching views over the river and Tide Mill.

A sliding door leads through to the kitchen which has been bespoke fitted with quartz matt work top and a range of low-profile handle-less units. There are integrated appliances and mixer tap.

The third floor comprises a principal bedroom which has built-in storage, cabinetry and exceptional views. There is also a shower room with ceramic flooring and chrome fittings.

Externally Old Granary Cottage is cladded in white weatherboard under a clay pantile roof. There is also a private shingle area at the front.
