Property description
Mortimers of Woodbridge are delighted to offer for sale this charming three-bedroom semi-detached home, nestled in a peaceful countryside setting, within approximately 0.6 acres (STS) and bordered by the tranquil woodland of Sutton Heath.
Originally built in 1952 as one of a pair of Forestry Commission Cottages, the property has since been thoughtfully updated to create bright, spacious, and practical living spaces. Its enviable position combines the feel of a rural retreat with convenient access - just an 8-minute drive from the heart of Woodbridge and 5 minutes to the nearest railway station at Melton, and closer still to Woodbridge Golf Club and one of the UK's top rated Gastro Pubs, The Unruly Pig.
Internally the ground floor accommodation consists of entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and wc, with the first floor consisting of three bedrooms, shower room and separaste wc.
