3 bed cottage for sale

The Street, Monks Eleigh IP7

Set in the heart of the highly regarded village of Monks Eleigh, Dolphin Barn is a charming three bedroom mid-terrace period cottage offering a wealth of character, a private garden and off-road parking. With its thatched frontage and exposed beams, the cottage offers plenty of traditional character while providing practical space for modern day living.

The cottage is entered via a small lobby, leading through to the kitchen and dining room. This welcoming space is fitted with a range of cabinetry and includes integrated appliances such as a fridge, washing machine and dishwasher along with a range cooker. An open stud partition separates the kitchen/dining area from the sitting room allowing light to flow through while retaining the cottage’s sense of character. The sitting room itself is full of period charm, featuring exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove and a useful storage cupboard.

The ground floor also benefits from a shower room with WC and wash basin, along with a rear lobby giving access out to the garden. Two staircases serve the first floor – one rising from the kitchen/dining room with slightly restricted head height and the other from the sitting room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and fitted storage. There are two further bedrooms, one of which is ideally suited as a study, along with a family bathroom featuring a freestanding clawfoot bath. In addition, a cloakroom is conveniently positioned adjacent to the second bedroom.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a private courtyard garden with paved terracing and mature planting, creating a peaceful and low-maintenance setting for outdoor dining or relaxation. From here, a gateway leads over a neighbouring property to reach the parking area, where the cottage benefits from its own off-road space.

Monks Eleigh is a quintessential Suffolk village, surrounded by rolling countryside and well placed for nearby Lavenham, Hadleigh and Sudbury, all of which provide excellent day-to-day amenities, schooling and transport links.

Dolphin Barn is a characterful home full of period charm, offering the chance to enjoy village life in one of Suffolk’s most picturesque settings.
