Lyn Cottage is an attractive, cosy, Victorian cottage with very well-presented accommodation in a lovely village centre position. Situated on the High Street, close to the 13th century church of St Peter and near to the Five Bells public house. All the facilities of this attractive village are within easy reach.

The cottage itself is believed to have been originally one home, divided into two, and now is a very comfortable village home. The property enjoys a large block-paved driveway which can accommodate up to three or possibly four vehicles off road.

Stepping inside, there is a good-sized porch to the side with a door leading into the dining room. Stairs rise to the first floor. In the dining room is a good range of built-in storage, a stable-type door out to the rear, half glazed, and further internal cottage doors through to the kitchen and the front sitting room. The sitting room is a comfortable size and enjoys a window to the front, a fireplace recess with a multi-fuel stove inset, and heavy timber mantlepiece above.

The kitchen is to the rear and has been extended so is a good size enjoying attractive solid timber fitted cabinets and ample worksurfaces, plenty of space for appliances, a washing machine, dryer, oven and fridge-freezer. The boiler is wall mounted serving the central heating. There are windows to the side and rear overlooking the back gardens and a practical ceramic tiled floor.

Upstairs all rooms continue to enjoy the Victorian proportions of the house including high ceilings and decorative features. The main bedroom to the front is a good size with exposed timber floorboards and a window to the front. There is a deep wardrobe cupboard over the stairwell. The second bedroom is a single bedroom and has a window to the side.

The landing continues to a door to the family bathroom to the rear, with a window to the rear, a step down, exposed floorboards, with a WC, pedestal basin, large shower enclosure.

The property is heated with oil-fired central heating and has uPVC double glazing throughout.

Outside
As mentioned there is a good-sized off-road parking area to the front and side with high fencing/gate dividing the front and rear gardens. There is outdoor lighting. The gardens are split-level, rising slightly uphill to the rear. There is a timber shed with storage, power, and workbench fitted, also a useful timber wood-store, oil tank, and steps up to a further patio/decked area for relaxing and entertaining.

There are also lawn areas. The garden is fully enclosed with mostly fence and brick walls and is therefore ideal for pets/children. The rear garden is a good size overall and there are steps up to a further lawn area at the top of the garden.

Location
As mentioned, Rattlesden sits in a lovely valley position between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. It is unusually, for Suffolk, quite hilly! It has an attractive mix of properties and is a designated conservation area, protecting the character and appeal of the local buildings, trees, and open spaces. It has a lovely local community feel.

Lyn Cottage sits in an enviable elevated village centre position, just a short walk to amenities including the two public houses, the attractive church, chapel, the C of E primary school, and village run community shop. Further facilities are within a short distance at the neighbouring village of Woolpit with easy access to the A14 and further afield.
