House For Sale £495,000
A much improved and extended Victorian cottage enjoying a fabulous quiet lane setting in a sought after village. All in about 1/4 of an acre.
Understood to date back to the 19th century and extended/greatly improved in more recent years, this charming Victorian semi-detached cottage, provides a surprising level of beautifully presented accommodation, retaining a wealth of original features combined with modern day influences, complemented by large private gardens affording far reaching views across open countryside. Benefitting from oil fired radiator, under floor heating and double glazing, the accommodation currently in brief comprises of a traditional oak entrance door opening to a generous reception hall with tiled floor, utility area and door to the charming sitting room with a fine oak floor, fireplace with wood burning stove, built-in cupboards, window and door to front.
The 'live in' kitchen/dining room is a fabulous space with a beautiful herringbone brick floor with underfloor heating (not often found in period cottages) and stylish Bi-Fold doors opening to the rear gardens and terrace. A traditional country style bespoke kitchen provides plenty of drawer and cupboard space beneath wooden preparation surfaces, whilst complemented by island with Butler sink, built-in dish washer, space for range oven and American style fridge/freezer. The luxurious family bathroom has Travertine stone flooring and includes a free standing roll top bath and double shower enclosure.
Staircase from the sitting room to the first floor landing, which leads to the master bedroom, with two windows overlooking front gardens and complemented by an en-suite shower room. The two remaining bedrooms are currently being used as children's bedrooms, with both having their own Mezzanine play area/useful storage areas.
Outside - The cottage is approached along a shingle driveway providing ample vehicle parking and access to an oak framed double bay cartlodge garage with internal staircase to a partially converted loft room with power and lighting and potential for office/studio. To the front and side of the cottage are well-stocked flower beds. The rear gardens are a particular feature with countryside views whilst being mostly laid to lawn with well-stocked flower beds and numerous mature trees and shrubs.
A large stone terrace leads to a particularly spacious outside garden room creating a wonderful area for entertaining or al-fresco dining with log burner, power/lighting and water supply. Within the garden is a small brick outbuilding, timber shed and a further single garage with parking which enjoys a useful gated second access from the end of the lane. All in about 1/4 of an acre.
Location - The cottage enjoys an enviable setting down a quiet no through lane situated just off a picturesque and peaceful village green in the heart of the village and also sits within the catchment for an 'outstanding' Primary school and a 'good' Secondary School. The village of Tostock provides local amenities including a public house, church, village hall and has frequently been voted Suffolk's Best Kept Village and is situated approximately six miles from the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds. Excellent access is gained to the A14 dual carriageway, linking the east coast ports, Cambridge and London via the M11 motorway. The nearby market town of Stowmarket has a main line rail link to London's Liverpool Street station.
Directions - When entering the centre of Tostock and the village green, turn left just before to the Gardners Arms into Flatts Lane, where the entrance to the cottage will be found further down the lane on the right.
Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil fired radiator and underfloor heating. Council Tax Band C. EPC Rating E.
