PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: A four-bedroom (one en-suite) detached period property enjoying a prominent high street location within the well-served village of Bures. Lying on the Suffolk/Essex border and within the village conservation area, the property is understood to originally have existed as three cottages and has been combined to create a single, characterful residence of impressive standing within one of the area's most-favoured villages. Offering an accommodation schedule of approximately 2,135 sq ft, The Cottage has benefitted from a programme of improvement by the current owners during their tenure including replacement hardwood traditional-style casement windows to front and side elevations, installation of column-style radiators, replacement of en-suite shower cloakroom and internal redecoration. Situated within walking distance of the village amenities, a network of countryside walks and public footpaths lying within the Stour Valley. Arranged via three ground-floor reception rooms, the property further benefits from garaging, gated private parking and walled cottage gardens.
