Description
SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION
Grade II Listed thatched, three bedroom cottage with delightful gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.2 acres (stms)
Fursey Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed cottage with a thatched roof, which was rethatched approximately six years ago. Extending to around 1,653 sq ft over three floors, the property retains an abundance of character.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, sitting room and dining room, both featuring impressive inglenook fireplaces, with the sitting room benefitting from a gas-effect log burner. The dining room provides access to the sun room and fitted kitchen, which offers a range of wall and base units, integrated dishwasher and fridge, space for an oven, and access to the bathroom.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, while a further staircase leads to a versatile attic room, currently used as occasional bedroom accommodation.
Outside Fursey Cottage is approached via a shared hardstanding driveway leading to a private gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles. The delightful gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.2 acres (stms) and include a pond, mature trees and shrubs, colourful rose beds, a summer house, shed and pergola. Offering a high degree of privacy, the gardens also feature a rear seating area, perfect for outdoor entertaining, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
Location Situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Battisford, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently located. The village offers a green, community centre, parish church and public house. Needham Market (3 miles) and Stowmarket (6 miles) provide a wide range of shopping and everyday amenities, together with mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 80–85 minutes. The nearby A14 offers excellent road links to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands.
