A charming 16th century Grade II Listed thatched cottage in a tranquil rural setting.
Description
Old Thatched Cottage is an enchanting 16th century Grade II Listed home, thoughtfully extended and exquisitely maintained to create a property of immense charm and versatility. Set amidst attractive Suffolk countryside with far reaching field views, the house offers a superb blend of historic features and contemporary amenities, all arranged to provide generous and flexible living accommodation.
A welcoming vaulted porch with exposed timbers sets the tone for the character found throughout. From here, the central hallway leads into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, situated within the more recent addition to the house. This well planned space combines modern functionality with rustic appeal and benefits from dual aspect views, a walk in pantry and a useful mini utility area.
The delightful lounge is rich in character, featuring exposed beams, brickwork and a bespoke open fireplace incorporating an original bread oven—an impressive focal point that lends itself perfectly to cosy evenings. Adjacent, the dining room offers another substantial period fireplace and provides an ideal setting for more formal entertaining. A peaceful study provides quiet workspace, while a rear lobby gives access to the staircase leading to bedroom four. Completing the ground floor is a stylish shower room, fitted to a high specification with underfloor heating and contemporary finishes.
The principal staircase, a wonderful semi circular feature, rises to a bright first floor landing, giving access to three well proportioned bedrooms, each showcasing exposed timbers and period details, including a fascinating coffin door set into the floor. The principal bedroom is notable for its generous proportions, attractive bay window and charming fireplace. A beautifully appointed family bathroom, positioned within the extension above the kitchen, offers modern fittings and underfloor heating.
Outside
The grounds complement the house perfectly and extend to just under an acre. Surrounded by open fields, the cottage enjoys exceptional privacy and an idyllic sense of seclusion. The gardens are well maintained and comprise a large pond and greenhouses. The property further benefits from ample private parking, a spacious carport, home office/studio with its own broadband connection, and additional brick built outbuildings offering scope for further accommodation or workshop space (subject to planning).
Location
Old Thatched Cottage is set in a wonderful private setting well back from the country lane. The house is on the edge of the village of Cratfield. The market towns of Halesworth and Framlingham offer a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities. Diss station, which is 11 miles away, has a direct line to London’s Liverpool Street station from 90 minutes. Cratfield is located 13 miles from the Suffolk Heritage coastline at Southwold an AONB, which includes Minsmere Bird Reserve, 12 miles away.
