Blackheath Road, Wenhaston, Halesworth, IP19

This fine period cottage offers a lovely plot and an option to build a detached bungalow where the current garage is.

This characterful cottage has been sympathetically extended to offer modern living spaces to compliment the period features. Our vendor has given the property strong eco-credentials. During a re-build in 2015, the exterior walls, floors and ceilings were insulated and all of the windows and doors were replaced with double glazing. Air source heating was added, along with new radiators, plumbing and wiring. There is the addition of a pod point car charger which future proofs the property.

Set behind a thick hedge screening the property from the lane, you enter a porch giving a handy area for shoes and coats. The main reception room has a lovely cosy feel with a wide fireplace with a high mantle offering space for the cast iron dual-fuel burner. A door leads to the family room set to the rear which could also offer an option for a ground floor bedroom. A lobby offers an understairs cupboard with a door to the ground floor cloakroom and opens into the impressive Kitchen/diner. This is the new part of the property and makes for a wonderful space to entertain with a range of kitchen units to one end and plenty of space for a dining table and sofas. The Kitchen end has a pitch roof giving extra height to the Kitchen space, twin Velux windows let light flood in. A door leads to the boot room which has the utility room adjoining.

Upstairs there is a pleasant landing accessing the bedrooms to either side along with the family bathroom, there are some lovely, limed timbers which along with the gable rooflines create the cosy cottage charm.

Outside the plot extends back on a slight incline and is set with a wide selection of fruit trees with grass under. A more forma range of beds provides space for growing veg, and a patio sits to the side of the house. The double garage is approached by a drive providing extra parking and there is planning permission for this to be turned into a detached bungalow which could be sold off with parking, leaving the main house still with a good garden and off-road parking. A great owner occupier property or one perfect for those looking to take on a holiday let.
