A Grade II listed cottage in the rural hamlet of Blacksmith’s Green, near Debenham, is for sale at a guide price of £550,000.
The detached property – simply named The Cottage – is tucked away down a no-through lane and offers a wealth of period features including original inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, studwork and some Suffolk brick floors.
Selling agent Bedfords said: “The property has been a much-loved family home for many years, and whilst in good order, there are areas that would require some modernisation and improvement.”
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and stretches to around 1,900 sq ft in total.
The front door opens to an entrance hall with doors either side to a sitting room and dining room, both featuring inglenook fireplaces and windows to two aspects.
According to Bedfords, the kitchen would have been a 19th-century addition. It features pamment floors, fitted shaker-style units with solid wood worktops and a Belfast sink, plus space and plumbing for dishwasher.
Adjoining the kitchen is a ground-floor bathroom with airing cupboard, plumbing for a washing machine and water softener.

The back door opens to a lean-to conservatory/boot room.
There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has a large airing cupboard besides which is a door to an eaves cupboard that spans the length of the cottage.
A steep staircase leads to the second floor, with an attic bedroom and a further room which is compromised in its access but provides another option as a bedroom.
Outside, the grounds extend to around 0.86 acres with an array of wildlife, ponds, orchard and lawns, trees and shrubs.
There is also a range of outbuildings fringed by mature hedges and trees.
