An outstanding three bedroomed extended cottage providing a surprising level of beautifully presented accommodation, with charming gardens with river frontage.

With origins dating back to the Victorian era and built of traditional brick construction with later additions to the side and rear set beneath a slate roof line, this delightful character cottage has more recently been sympathetically restored and updated to the highest of standards and as such, offers a home of comfort and style, enjoying a delightful setting with countryside views and river frontage. The property benefits from a wealth of quality features including sealed unit double glazing, slate and polished oak flooring, wood burning stove and hand crafted Suffolk latch doors.

Benefitting from oil fired radiator and under floor central heating (in the kitchen) and presented in beautiful condition, the attractive and welcoming accommodation currently in brief comprises of a spacious reception hall with tiled flooring and a useful cloaks cupboard and door leading to the impressive study, creating a fantastic place to work beneath a high half vaulted ceiling with large roof light and glass balustrade to the first floor.

An inner hall area with stairs off to first floor and door to a very smart re-fitted stylish shower room, leads to the delightful dual aspect sitting room with oak flooring, fireplace with wood-burner and opening to the cosy snug.

On the first floor, the charming landing area has a large and particularly useful eaves storage cupboard/easy access loft room. The dual aspect principal bedroom, enjoys wonderful countryside views and the two remaining bedrooms are served by the luxurious family bathroom completing the accommodation.

Location - Rattlesden village lies in a sweeping valley between the market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. Unusually for the county of Suffolk, this portion is decidedly hilly. There is a strong community spirit within the village which is evident in the church, chapel, two pubs, playing/sports field with marvelous pavilion and numerous organisations. The Post Office and village shop which is run by volunteers, is yet another example of the dedication and enthusiasm of village residents. Rattlesden retains such character and warmth thus making this rural parish a little gem.

Directions - When entering Rattlesden from the direction of Woolpit, turn left into Stowmarket Road and the property will be found a short distance further on the right-hand side.

Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil fired radiator central heating. Under-floor heating in the kitchen. Council Tax Band: D.
