House For Sale £1,000,000
Quote Ref: DP0213 when requesting further details of this amazing opportunity to purchase this Grade II Listed thatched five bedroom cottage with a separate two bedroom annexe situated in the heart of Suffolk and surrounded by open fields. The house dates back to the 1500’s and has a wealth of character throughout with a modern annexe all set on 1.28 acres.
This stunning house at Hoods has had a program of works done in recent years with a new sole plate and replacement lime render and enhanced insulation along with a new full thatch done in 2018 along with new heritage passed windows as well. The house shows off its character as soon as you walk through the traditional solid Oak front door into the welcoming and appealing hallway. There is immediately an abundance of exposed beams and exposed brickwork. From this hallway is a door into the downstairs cloakroom and further doors into the sitting room and the dining room along with stairs rising to the first floor. The sitting room is an absolute delight with a feature inglenook fireplace and impressive bressumer beam with a traditional wood burner inset, heavy structural beams and exposed carved timbers take you back hundreds of years. The dining room is another great sized room with parquet flooring and character windows to double aspects. Again, there is a large inglenook fireplace and to the side the most wonderful sight and find in the form of a Hive shaped bakers’ oven. The next room to impress is the kitchen, a Deben Vale solid wood kitchen sits perfectly within the space with granite worktops and a central island. There is a Rangemaster oven with a 5 ring induction hob and 2 ovens and separate warming drawer and separate grill all set on a ceramic tiled floor. There is a very useful pantry for storage. A door then takes you through to the lobby where a door leads to the side garden area and the utility room can be found with a range of full height cupboards with a water softener and space for the washing machine and tumble dryer.
On the first floor of this impressive home is a full-length landing with wide character oak floorboards and the sloping floors you would expect in a property this old. Doors lead to the three bedrooms, the first of which sits at one end, a large double room with feature mullion window to the front aspect and visible exposed beams. Next to this is another bedroom that benefits from a built-in wardrobe and plenty of character. The third bedroom on this floor sits right at the other end of the house again a good-sized double room with double aspect windows and an en-suite shower room. The main family bathroom sits in the middle of the property again full of character with the suite keeping that theme with a high level traditional flush wc and a claw foot freestanding bath and separate sink with oak vanity unit placed with the main chimney stack making an appearance.
A further staircase then rises to the second floor which is built into the roof space and provides a further two double bedrooms. The landing negotiates its way around the central chimney stack and to complement the bedrooms there is a separate shower room. The bedrooms are very similar in make up both with very handy mezzanines that create vital extra storage for each room.
The Annexe
The annexe sits close by to the main house providing perfect additional family accommodation. Previously a large double garage building and converted in 2008 with the right permissions into the two-bedroom two storey annexe now. The entrance door takes you straight into the impressive sitting room with plenty of windows and double doors. A further door leads into the inner hallway where the bathroom can be found with a low-level bathtub and sink and wc. There is a further door into the kitchen/breakfast room. A fully fitted kitchen with a range of wall and base units to include a built-in double oven, separate hob, single drainer sink and integral fridge freezer, space and plumbing for the dishwasher and washing machine. There is a dining area and a door leading out to the garden. Upstairs there is a main double bedroom that opens up to a second useable bedroom space and a separate upstairs wc. Both bedrooms have built in wardrobes.
Outside
The entire plot sits on approximately 1.28 acres. The plot is entered via a gateway from the road that leads you onto the shingle driveway through the ‘weeping willow’ where there is parking for a number of vehicles. To the west side of the plot there is a grassed area surrounded by hedge lines and trees and this area houses the Klargester and the oil tank for the annexe.
The main garden sits behind the main house initially with a set of patios, one of which is covered and currently houses the hot tub, this area also has a good-sized summer house to complement the patio. A raised bed of shrubs gives interest close to the house to separate from the lawn. The vast majority of the garden is laid to lawn with a few mature trees interspersed and garden sheds and storage areas. There is a formal vegetable growing area with greenhouses and plenty of space for other hobbies. This garden is ideal for entertaining and having children play and run around, it’s a south facing garden and is surrounded by high hedgerows and trees for maximum privacy.
The property is on Oil heating, private drainage, mains water and electricity. Mid Suffolk Council Tax Band F and A for the Annexe.
