Description
The Cottage is a charming two-bedroom extended writer’s cottage, centrally positioned in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Laxfield. The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises an entrance hall, three reception rooms including a spacious garden room, a kitchen with separate pantry/utility, and a ground-floor bathroom. To the first floor are two bedrooms, one of which is a good size landing bedroom. The Cottage has been well maintained throughout the current vendor’s 25 years of ownership and benefits from a complete re-roofing carried out in September 2005. While well cared for, the property would now benefit from a degree of updating and modernisation. A particular highlight is the large garden room to the rear, featuring a solid roof and wooden flooring, which provides an additional sitting or dining area. This space enjoys views over the charming cottage-style garden, which offers a degree of privacy.

The front door opens into an entrance hallway with a side window, tiled flooring and a glazed door leading through to the sitting room. The sitting room has windows to the front with secondary glazed panels, a wall-mounted radiator and features a red-brick fireplace with open grate and brick hearth, flanked by a range of built-in bookshelves. A door from the sitting room leads into the dining room, which benefits from an ornate cast-iron feature fireplace with wooden mantel and surround, flanked by cupboards and bookshelves. From here, a door opens into a small utility area/pantry, providing useful shelving and space for appliances and a window. An opening from the dining room leads into the kitchen, which has side-facing windows and a range of fitted, hand-built base units with tiled worktops and shelving above. There is a stainless-steel single sink with twin drainer and mixer tap over, tiled splashbacks, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and space for an electric cooker. A partially glazed door from the kitchen leads into the garden room, which features a solid roof, with windows to three sides and French-style doors opening onto the cottage garden. The room has wooden flooring with underfloor heating and includes a built-in storage cupboard with a side window. Also accessed from the dining room is an inner lobby with built-in bookshelves and coat hooks, leading to the ground-floor bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a coloured suite comprising a bath, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC, along with a heated towel radiator and a side-facing window.

From the dining room, a door leads to a discreet stairwell with cottage-style stairs typical of a property of this age, rising to the first-floor landing. The large landing is currently used as a home office and features a range of fitted bookshelves, a built-in airing cupboard housing a pre-lagged hot water cylinder with slatted shelving, and access to the loft. A door from the landing leads into the main bedroom, which has windows to the front and side elevations, two fitted wardrobes with hanging rails, and partially exposed studwork beams. The room also includes a further small loft hatch.

Outside
The property occupies a convenient position and is attractively set back from the road behind double gates, which open onto a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The driveway is bordered by a range of beds with an eclectic range of mature shrubs and well-established plantings. There is also a timber shed and a discreet oil tank. Gated side access leads to the rear of the property. Beyond the side gate there is a further large timber shed with wood store and a gravelled seating area. The rear garden is private and unoverlooked, laid out in a traditional cottage-style with established shrub and flower borders. Through an archway lies an additional lawned area with flower and shrub borders, where there is also a pergola with a trailing vine and a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor seating and dining. An outside tap is also provided.
