Rose Cottage, a beautiful, characterful 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage in the heart of Hintlesham.The original parts of the cottage are believed to date back to the 1700s and feature gorgeous original features, from traditional Suffolk Red Bricks, the Inglenook fireplace and oak bressummer in the living room and exposed ceiling beams. A true historical gem of a home, which has been well cared for and modernised over the years whilst still retaining that country cottage style. The ground floor offers a lovely space and layout, with the cosy front living room with fireplace, with a step down into the country style kitchen with Aga style oven. There is an adjoining sitting room to the kitchen, which offers excellent scope to be incorporated into either the living room, or into a kitchen/diner space. Off the sitting room is a light filled sunroom, which would make a lovely office, playroom or just breakfast room to enjoy views into the garden over a morning coffee. Also on the ground floor is a small area off the reception room, with long windows looking over the garden, as well as a utility/boot room off the kitchen with shower facilities available, offering the option of a ground floor wet room or bathroom, should you wish to make use of this space this way.Upstairs are 3 generous bedrooms, one with steps down into the room, as well as the family bathroom. The owners have ensured the property is kept modernised, with the installation of electric sockets in cupboards, new windows to the front, side and rear of the property around 4 years ago, a new boiler 7 years ago, 9 year old bathroom and tiling and keeping the garden landscaped and paved. The garden of this home is lovely, with paved areas, established tree and shrub borders, a well feature and rose bushes throughout, all backing onto fields and the nearby RSPB Wolves Wood and 'The Forest'. Rose Cottage is on Duke Street in Hintlesham and offers easy access to Hadleigh town centre within 10 minutes' drive, or Ipswich within 20 minutes. There is Hintlesham Hall Hotel and Wedding Venue around the corner, and a plethora of countryside walks and hiking opportunities on the doorstep.
