Description
Marmalade Cottage is a charming, extended three-bedroom detached bungalow believed to be built circa 1920s, with later additions. The property is brick-built with rendered and colour-washed elevations beneath a pitched tiled roof and occupies a generous, elevated plot of approximately one-third of an acre. The cottage enjoys a pleasant setting abutting farmland within the popular village of Hacheston.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully remodelled during the current vendors’ tenure. The property is entered from the side into a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, which is a light and airy space ideal for entertaining. The kitchen area is fitted with a matching range of wall and base units, incorporating a one-and-a-half bowl single drainer sink unit with mixer tap, tiled splashbacks and modern work surfaces.

The adjoining utility area provides access to the rear garden and is fitted with a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, tiled splashbacks inset into work surface with cupboards beneath.

From both the dining room and the utility area, doors lead into the sitting room, which features a central fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a cupboard to one side.
