Occupying a charming position within the heart of Alderton, 5 The Haven is a beautifully presented period cottage offering character, warmth and surprisingly well-balanced accommodation..
The property sits behind an enclosed lawned garden, framed by timber fencing, providing a pleasant approach from The Street and an attractive first impression. Internally, the home blends traditional features with modern finishes, creating a space that feels both characterful and comfortable.
The sitting room is particularly inviting, centred around an exposed brick fireplace with inset wood-burning stove - a natural focal point that enhances the cottage atmosphere. Multi-pane windows allow natural light to filter through, while attractive wood-effect flooring adds warmth and continuity. The room connects conveniently to the kitchen, which is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, timber work surfaces and ample storage, thoughtfully arranged to maximise the footprint.
To the rear of the ground floor sits a stylish bathroom, finished with contemporary tiling and fittings, offering a bath with shower over. Upstairs, the bedroom occupies the entire first floor, creating a generous and private retreat beneath the eaves. The vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, while a walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage rarely found in cottages of this size.
Please refer to the covenant contained within the Title Deeds, which stipulates that no business may be carried out from the property. Notwithstanding this restriction, permission has been granted for use as a holiday let. Flagship will provide formal written confirmation documenting this consent and the agreed position regarding rental income.
In all, a thoughtfully presented cottage that would suit a range of buyers - from first-time purchasers and those seeking a weekend retreat, to those looking for a proven holiday letting opportunity within this desirable Suffolk village.
