Ashfield is a charming traditional Suffolk cottage set within approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, enjoying far-reaching countryside views and exceptional privacy. Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane, the property offers a rare combination of rural tranquillity, character and modern energy efficiency.
Despite its peaceful setting, the market town of Beccles is just ten minutes away by car, the sought-after coastal destination of Southwold lies around twenty minutes away, while the unspoilt Suffolk coastline sits within easy reach.
The accommodation is both spacious and flexible. The sitting room, hallway and dining room flow naturally through to a bright sun room — ideal for enjoying views of open countryside under expansive Suffolk skies. The kitchen, also with garden views, leads to a utility room and downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs, six well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a well-lit galleried landing. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and a range of built in wardrobes, complemented by a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.
Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive yet low-maintenance garden, perfect for outdoor living and entertaining. Sweeping lawns, mature trees, a pond and established borders enhance the sense of seclusion and natural beauty. A double garage and two separate driveways provide ample off-road parking, including provision for electric vehicle charging.
The home benefits from significant recent investment in renewable energy systems, helping keep running costs impressively low, while reducing environmental impact.
