2 bed detached house for sale

All Saints Road, Creeting St. Mary, Ipswich, Suffolk IP6

A stunning and characterful 2/3 bedroom period cottage with original features, modern kitchen extension and fantastic 1/3 acre plot with outbuildings for annex potential.

This beautiful Grade 2 listed home offers substantial extended ground floor accommodation, entering through the front door into the gorgeous hallway, with beams, feature flint tile wall and bespoke solid wood staircase winding up to the right. Be greeted with open space in front of you, ideal for an open plan study or work from home space. Down the hall to the left is the original part of the house, with dining room/bedroom 3 boasting a solid oak floor, and the cosy living room, with multi fuel burner, beautiful beams and dual aspect windows to allow plenty of light in.

Opposite the dining room is the bathroom, a stunning and modern room with beams and freestanding roll top bath and spotlights.

Through to the rear extension of the home the space opens into a generous kbb kitchen with vaulted ceiling, spotlights, solid oak worktops, wine chiller and engineered oak flooring. The adjoining utility room provides a brilliant side space for muddy boots and additional cooking space, with enclosed boiler tucked away, and stable door out to the garden.

Upstairs are two generous bedrooms, just waiting for someone to come and make their own.

The owners have loved this home for years, carefully restoring and modernising the home with new carpets, spotlights, new radiators, new boiler and oil tank to ensure it retains its original charm and history.

The outside space is fantastic, with gated driveway to the side for approximately 6 vehicles. The plot is approximately 1/3 acre and backs onto open fields and features a lovely decked BBQ area, a koi pond, a larger manmade pond (currently occupied with a family of moorhens) and a range of fruit and established trees, shrubs and flowers. The owners have replaced the oil tank with a new double skinned 1300L unit and moved this to a discreet location around the back.

There is a large detached timber framed barn converted into an activities room, currently used as a games room/bar/gym and would make a fantastic additional space for those wanting a studio, fitness suite, or even converting officially into annex dwelling space. With full power, lighting and a fantastic bar area with feature fishtank built in, this is a fantastic space to enjoy.

Additionally, there is a detached stable block, currently used as a workshop/storage area, which has previously had planning permission granted to convert into a two storey dwelling. This permission has now expired but could easily be revisited in future.

The home is located on All Saints Road, within easy walking distance to Creeting St Mary Primary School. The larger village of Needham Market is just a half an hour walk, or 6 minute drive, and offers a wider range of shops, facilities, eateries and entertainment, as well as the popular Needham Lakes to enjoy.
