2 Bed Detached House For Sale

A characterful period cottage situated within the popular village of Monks Eleigh

Discreetly positioned in this well-regarded village, Little Pond Cottage is an attractive unlisted cottage which is believed to date from 1750, with later single storey additions to the side and rear. Accessed via a central front porch, the core of the cottage comprises a welcoming double reception room which provides much period charm, with exposed beams, pine flooring and a fireplace with wood burner. The dining area leads through to the AGA kitchen / breakfast room which is fitted on two walls with black granite work surfaces, incorporating a butlers sink, a range of shaker style units with additional full height pantry cupboards. There is also space for a fridge / freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. The rear breakfast area provides delightful views over the garden via full height double glazed doors, with further views over meadowland to one side.

To the rear of the cottage provides a ground floor bedroom / snug which is served by a bathroom opposite, with panelled bath with shower over, WC and basin. There is also an adjacent cupboard housing a washing machine. The most recent addition (2008) comprises the triple aspect garden room which enjoys completely private views over the rear garden, with double doors on to the patio.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms set either side of a landing. Bedroom one provides further exposed timbers with a vaulted ceiling, extensive rear eaves storage and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom Two provides additional built-in wardrobes fitted on one wall and similarly to bedroom one, provides a rear sky light and a front casement window.

Outside, the cottage is set well back in its plot, providing ample off-road parking which is bordered by an attractive walled cottage garden. To one side is the detached garage which has power and lighting with storage over. The adjacent carport provides useful additional sheltered storage. The principal rear garden is thoughtfully designed and well maintained, comprising a sunken terrace with gazebo, bordered by raised brick flower and shrub borders. Steps lead up to the rear section with a further terrace and additional flower and shrub beds.

Monks Eleigh is a very attractive village set within the south Suffolk countryside, with the popular Swan public house and community shop / post office located some 50 metres away from the property. The excellent Hollow Trees Farm Shop is nearby with the market towns of Hadleigh and Sudbury both within easy reach.
