The cottage... It's hard to know where to start with this amazing, immaculate, and extremely versatile property, it has so much to offer, including separate secondary accommodation, a great sized workshop & double garage, and gorgeous gardens for all.
We'll begin with the cottage. Entering via the porch to the side brings you to a study/store room and a fully tiled shower room, and then into one of the most ancient parts of the cottage, the lounge dating back to the 17th century, and there is plenty of the original structure on show, with exposed beams in the walls and ceilings and a huge exposed brick fireplace with a wood burner as the focal point. There is also plenty of glass on front and rear aspects which really lights the room beautifully. Next is the dining room, again dual aspect and with exposed floor boards & brick fireplace. The triple aspect fitted kitchen/breakfast room, at the rear, has a good range of wall & base units, large pamment tile flooring, plenty of space for a farmhouse table in the centre, along with a separate utility room/porch.
Upstairs is a vast open landing with vaulted ceilings, which has plenty of space to be used as an office or reading area, off this is a great sized double bedroom and a huge master bedroom, with a dressing area, a built-in cupboard, and a truly sumptuous ensuite bathroom with a bath, a walk-in shower enclosure and his & hers basins on a bespoke vanity unit.
Outside the delights continue with more accommodation in the form of a separate self-contained annex, featuring a very spacious living/sleeping area, a kitchenette and a shower room, a great space for family & guests. There is also a generous workshop/store and a double garage attached, along with plenty of parking to the front.
The outside spaces are not to be missed either, the half acre plot is bordered by many mature trees and has a large patio across the width of the cottage, a large lawn and a lovely orchard, vegetable patch and wild area at the far end. A really great place for you, your children and your pets to have your very own taste of 'The Good Life'
Blyford is a hamlet close to Halesworth, Beccles and Southwold for many amenities, including schools for all ages, rail links to Norwich and London, and within very easy reach of the gorgeous Heritage Coast and the A12.

A pre-application to extend has been lodged with East Suffolk Council, their response is summarised below, plans are in floor plans.
Extension to the existing dwelling:
Policy WLP8.29 "Design" and Policy WLP8.9 -"Replacement Dwellings and Extensions in the Countryside" are relevant in the consideration of this aspect of the proposal, Policy WLP8.29 generally requires high quality design which reflects local distinctiveness and Policy WLP8.9 set out when extension to dwellings in the countryside will be permitted:
•They are in keeping with the height, scale and character of the original dwelling and will not adversely affect the character and appearance of the building, the plot of land on which it is located and the rural setting;
•The proposed extension is considered along with the cumulative impact of existing extensions on the original dwelling.
It is considered that the proposal for a two storey side extension and single storey extensions would comply with the requirements of this policy as they would appear subservient to the host dwelling and are considered to be of an appropriate scale and height and would not adversely affect the character of the property, the plot or the rural setting.
It is therefore considered that the proposal to extend the main dwelling is likely to be supported by officers.
