Close to the heart of Stratford St. Mary is this beautifully presented Grade II listed, mid-terraced Victorian cottage. Accommodation comprises living room, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room, garden room, ground-floor shower room. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The property also benefits from a pretty cottage garden to the rear.
The village of Stratford St. Mary resides in the heart of Constable Country, and was favoured by the great artist himself, with important works of the village residing in some of the great museums and galleries of London.
Although the artist is no longer with us, the beauty and depth to this delightful village is still evident as the visitor discovers the neighbourhood where this cottage resides.
Built in the late Victorian period, this family home exudes warmth as the visitor steps over the threshold into the main living accommodation, where exposed brickwork, warm wood and a crackling log-burner greet all who enter.
The kitchen is presented in contemporary country style, with warm wood tones mixed with crisp stainless steel and a continental style log-burner in the open fireplace. A large pantry cupboard awaits the pleasure of the new homeowner - a keen cook's dream.
A partially glazed, Victorian door opens into an equally charming utility area, where a stable door provides access to the outside, whilst another doorway leads into the ground-floor shower room; this is an invaluable space to any dog owner - to come in from a wet walk and clean your muddy pup off and have a safe place for him to dry before joining the rest of the family, is priceless.
The garden room provides a fabulous bonus to this period home, where double doors lead out onto the garden. The flexibility of this room will charm any potential new owners as it can be a calm place to dine, prop up an easel or just place some easy chairs by the door and breathe in the Suffolk air.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms, and a family bathroom completes the accommodation.
The pretty, south-east facing, cottage garden commences with an area of shingle and flagstone, ideal for morning coffee or alfresco dining on a balmy summer's evening. This part of the garden is enclosed by wall and benefits from flower borders full of plants waiting for their time to shine as the days grow longer and warmer.
A flagstone path meanders its way towards the end of the garden, past a delightful summerhouse and on to an area of shingle, where it is possible to transform the space into off-road parking.
