A charming, unlisted 18th century character cottage, nestled into the heart of Earl Soham. The property enjoys a pleasant position with the village church as a backdrop, along with planning permission granted for a single storey extension.

With a garage and parking to the rear of the property, the cottage enjoys a delightful front garden, with traditional internal character features such as exposed beams and open fireplaces.

A front porch leads into the property, to the dining room that has stairs to the first floor and an open fireplace, that isn't currently in use. A door leads into the kitchen as the rear of the property which has been modernised and features a number of bespoke eye level and base units with worktops over and an inset butler sink and drainer. There is space for a gas Rangemaster cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Double doors lead from the kitchen to the patio and rear garden.

There is an inner lobby between the dining room and sitting room, where the once two properties have now joined, offering excellent storage space for coats and shoes. Just off this inner hallway is a ground floor shower wet room, with wc and basin.

The sitting room also enjoys exposed beams and an open fireplace, with windows to the front aspect, enjoying views of the garden. There are stairs here that also lead up to the first floor.
