SUMMARY: A charming unlisted Victorian character cottage which has been comprehensively refurbished to an extremely high-standard to provide stunning, high-specification accommodation over two levels. A clear emphasis has been placed on the quality of craftsmanship and the materials used such that the cottage constitutes an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a period building, in a quaint Suffolk village which is very much 'turn-key'. An open plan island kitchen/dining room contains a number of integrated appliances and bi-folding doors opening onto the garden. A sitting room contains a wood burning stove and parquet flooring with the further benefit of a ground floor cloakroom. The first floor contains two en-suite double bedrooms. Outside, to the rear is a private enclosed low maintenance rear garden. The property has been hitherto run as a successful holiday let and therefore would cater to buyers looking to make an investment of this nature but the house equally makes for a wonderful full time residence. Offered with no onward chain.
