A well-presented and extended cottage with modern garden office and outbuildings, situated in a peaceful, rural setting yet convenient for Bury St Edmunds.

Situated in an enviable rural setting on the edge of this well-regarded village, Charity Cottage is a beautifully presented and rather unique extended period cottage, surprisingly ‘unlisted’ and built of traditional construction underneath a peg-tiled roofline.

The house extends to around 2,000 sq. ft. and is arranged over two floors, providing versatile living space graced with many notable features that are cleverly blended with contemporary nuances and modern elements of comfort.

The property comprises of a large reception hall with oak-flooring and access to a modernised cloak/shower room. The sitting room has views over the garden, with exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.

The kitchen/breakfast/garden room space is an outstanding feature of the house, being extended to incorporate a bespoke handmade painted shaker kitchen by Lavenham Joinery, with integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and a freestanding Rangemaster range cooker with extractor over. There are tiled floors throughout and windows and glazed doors to the south leading out to the garden terrace.

Further on the ground-floor there are two double bedrooms, one enjoying a double-aspect and with French doors leading out to the gardens.

The first-floor forms part of the original cottage, with a good-sized landing area leading to two double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceiling heights and exposed timbers with stunning views over the gardens. Both bedrooms are served by a newly updated bathroom suite with panelled bath with shower over and screen, WC with concealed cistern and vanity wash basin.

Outside
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property approached from the quiet village lane onto a gravelled parking area leading to a double garage/workshop, with power and light connected, and ripe for those looking for a workshop or games room. There is also an EV Car Charger on the driveway side of the garage.

A newly built garden studio provides a great flexible space which can be used as two separate working office areas or outside entertaining or hobby space. Both rooms have their own sets of French doors leading onto a decked terrace.

The grounds themselves are largely laid to grass, with a variety of well-stocked flower beds, mature trees and shrubs, together with a greenhouse and fenced area currently being used as a chicken run. Adjoining the property, enjoying the southerly orientation, there is a large sandstone terrace.
