Property description

A picturesque 16th Century cottage in a rural setting with fine south facing views.

Valley Cottage is listed Grade II and understood to date from the early 16th Century. Requiring general updating, the cottage offers light and flexible use accommodation, benefits from an oil-fired central heating system and extends to over 2,000 sq ft. Many of the rooms display a wealth of exposed timbers and enjoy far reaching southerly views across the varied surrounding countryside.

There are three connecting reception rooms on the ground floor, together with a kitchen and rear garden hall and a separate garden room. There are also ground floor bath and shower rooms plus three further cloakrooms.

The first floor, with its sloping ceilings, is approached by two staircases, the first of which accessing two double bedrooms, a nursery room/study (which has the potential to be a bathroom or 5th bedroom) whilst the second stairs access a further double bedroom with a dressing room off and access into the 4th, interconnecting, bedroom.

Approached from a quiet country lane the driveway offers ample parking provisions and gives way to the large double garage/workshop (32ft 5in x 16ft 7in / 9.87m x 5.06m) offering potential for an annexe/games room conversion. The gardens extend to about ½ an acre and mainly laid to lawn, with vegetables beds, fruit cage and small orchard.

The A14 dual carriageway, which bypasses both, provides a direct link to Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands as well as the county town of Ipswich (12 miles) and beyond via the A12 to Stansted airport and London’s M25.
