House For Sale £550,000
An immaculate and stylishly presented 3/4 bedroom cottage with annex, garage and cabin all set in 0.4 acres of delightful gardens adjoining countryside
Forming part of the quaint rural hamlet of Kersey Tye, The White House is an unlisted semi-detached period cottage which is believed to date from the early 19th century. Since 2013, the property, both inside and out, has been painstakingly improved and upgraded to a particularly high standard. Via extensive glazing and double doors to the rear, the inviting and open plan kitchen/dining room directly overlooks the gardens and fields beyond, the aga kitchen has been recently fitted with handmade birch ply units, extensive oak worktops, new integral appliances and sink with ‘Quooker’ boiling hot water tap. Accessed via the dining area is the snug/office on a raised solid pine floor with ‘Hillary’ wooden window shutters. A range of bespoke handmade, full-height storage boxes stylishly defines the front sitting room with focal fireplace with woodburner. The remaining ground floor consists of the central hall and cloakroom with a unique clear resin penny flooring and handmade cabinetry.
The first-floor landing is laid with attractive herringbone engineered oak which extends to all 3 bedrooms. Along with the landing, the 2 principal bedrooms overlook the gardens and countryside beyond. Between the front and rear bedroom is the bathroom which again provides handmade and painted cabinetry with ‘Samuel Heath’ brass ware.
Outside, a shingle drive to the west gives access to the detached garage with adjacent carport. Directly behind is a detached double bedroom annex (and store room) with shower/wet room fitted with ‘Asbee and Stone’ brass ware. Immediately to the rear of the cottage is an outside dining terrace which leads onto a large expanse of lawn, bounded by established hedges and trees. Set to the north-west corner of the garden is a former shipping container which has been converted into an impressive garden room and is ideal for outside entertaining. Contemporary fitted with a handmade seating area, bi-fold doors lead onto a raised stone terrace with planters and further seating. A field hedge with post and rail fencing borders the rear parking area, giving further extensive off-road parking. Via The Tye, the rear parking area is independently accessed via a shared driveway which is granted by a formal right of way.
Agents note - In January 2018, full planning permission was granted for a single and two storey rear extension under reference DC/17/06316. The full planning permission plans and associated documents can be found on Babergh and Mid Suffolk’s planning portal.
