THE PROPERTY
Tucked away from the road in the heart of Clare this enchanting Grade II listed cottage oozes character and charm from every beam and brick. Boasting a wealth of exposed timbers, brickwork and original features throughout, this is a quintessential period home that beautifully balances history with everyday comfort.
The spacious kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home, effortlessly blending rustic charm with practical modern touches. Brick flooring, painted shaker cabinetry, and a butler-style sink create a timeless country feel, while exposed beams and a feature fireplace complete the scene. The adjacent living room offers a cosy retreat, perfect for relaxing by the wood-burning stove nestled into the red brick fireplace.
Upstairs, the property reveals a rare design with two separate staircases leading to individual bedroom suites. One staircase leads to the principal bedroom, a stunning space with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and its own beautifully appointed bathroom. The second staircase provides access to a charming second bedroom with characterful sloping ceilings and its own dedicated shower room, offering privacy and flexibility ideal for guests, family, or a peaceful home office setup.
Outside, the property enjoys a charming courtyard garden with a patio seating area and a summerhouse, ideal for those seeking a quiet workspace or creative studio. The space is private, manageable and full of potential for potting, entertaining, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine.
THE LOCATION
Clare, located in Suffolk, is a charming market town with a rich history and an abundance of amenities that caters well for residents. Nestled in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, Clare offers a serene and peaceful environment, making it a desirable place to live.
One of the town's standout features is its well-preserved historic character. Clare boasts a wealth of timber-framed buildings dating back centuries, giving it a distinctive and timeless atmosphere. The town is also home to Clare Castle, a Norman motte-and-bailey castle that adds to its historical allure.
In terms of amenities, Clare provides a range of local shops, boutiques, and cafes that line its picturesque streets. You'll find everything from antique shops to artisanal bakeries, making it a delightful place for shopping and indulging in local treats. The town also offers schools and healthcare facilities, ensuring residents have access to essential services right within their community.
Clare's welcoming community spirit is further complemented by its green spaces and recreational opportunities. Clare Country Park is a beautiful place to unwind, offering walking trails, a play area, and picnicking spots along the River Stour and is just a short walk away from the property. This natural oasis is a popular destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike.

Sudbury, known for its market, historic architecture, and a variety of shops and restaurants, is approximately 7 miles away. Bury St. Edmunds, a market town renowned for its cultural attractions and shopping, is around 20 miles from Clare. These towns provide additional shopping, healthcare, and leisure options to complement Clare's more intimate offerings.
