The Property Crossroads Cottage is a delightful 18th century timber framed home, believed to have once served as an ale house, and now offering a beautifully characterful family residence. The property has undergone extensive renovation over recent years while carefully retaining its wealth of original features, including exposed studwork, beams and impressive inglenook fireplaces.

The accommodation is both flexible and well-proportioned, currently offering five bedrooms arranged over two floors. The heart of the home is the striking kitchen, which combines period charm with everyday practicality and acts as a welcoming space for both family life and entertaining.

Living spaces are warm and atmospheric, with inglenook fireplaces creating focal points, while a conservatory enjoys wonderful views across the surrounding gardens and grounds. Throughout the cottage, the blend of historic character and thoughtful improvement creates a home of real charm and individuality.

The property sits within approximately 1.5 acres of pleasant grounds, offering a combination of lawned gardens and areas of woodland, providing a variety of uses and an attractive natural setting. 

The Location Crossroads Cottage is situated on the edge of the village of Middleton, close to Saxmundham, within the heart of the Suffolk countryside. The area is well known for its attractive villages, open countryside and easy access to the Heritage Coast.

Nearby Saxmundham provides a good range of day-to-day amenities including supermarkets, independent shops and a mainline railway station with direct connections to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street. The renowned coastal town of Aldeburgh, along with the Suffolk Heritage Coast, is within easy reach, offering beaches, restaurants, cultural attractions and scenic walks. 

Agents Note The property is impacted by the forthcoming Middleton bypass scheme. Once completed, Fordley Road will no longer be a through road and will become a footpath, significantly reducing traffic and enhancing the surrounding environment.
