Description
A charming Grade II listed semi-detached cottage occupying an attractive, tucked away position, discreetly set back from White Horse Hill in the highly regarded Suffolk village of Tattingstone. Situated close to the shores of Alton Water, one of the region's foremost destinations for sailing, cycling, walking and a wide range of outdoor pursuits, the property combines considerable period character with generous gardens and an enviable village setting.
Offering approximately 1,000 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, the property is approached via a panel glazed entrance door opening into a welcoming entrance hall. A conveniently positioned ground floor shower room lies immediately off, enhancing the practicality of the accommodation.
A traditional Suffolk latch door opens into the delightful dual aspect snug, a wonderfully characterful reception room enjoying casement windows to both the front and side elevations. The room is centred around a red brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove, while an impressive display of exposed ceiling timbers contributes significantly to the cottage's warmth, charm and historic appeal.
The adjoining sitting room is equally inviting, featuring further exposed timbers, recessed storage alcoves and a dual aspect outlook that introduces an abundance of natural light. The room provides a comfortable principal reception space well suited to both everyday living and entertaining.
Positioned across the rear of the cottage, the kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of shaker style base and wall units, complemented by generous work preparation surfaces. A door provides direct access to the rear terrace and gardens, while a staircase rises to the first floor accommodation.
The first floor is arranged around a central landing, which gives access to two generously proportioned double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms enjoys an attractive outlook across the surrounding gardens, reinforcing the property's peaceful and secluded atmosphere. A third bedroom offers excellent flexibility and would be ideally suited as a nursery, home office, dressing room or cot room.
One of Cosy Nook's most outstanding attributes is its delightful plot, extending to approximately 0.3 acres. The established gardens have been lovingly maintained and comprise an appealing combination of expansive lawns, mature perennial and evergreen planting, and well stocked borders providing colour, structure and interest throughout the seasons.
The gardens create a particularly private and tranquil setting, offering numerous opportunities for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. A range of versatile outbuildings, currently utilised as external stores, provides useful ancillary storage and adds further practicality to the property.
A wonderful period home of considerable charm and individuality, Cosy Nook presents a rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed cottage within one of south Suffolk's most appealing village locations. Its combination of period features, versatile accommodation, substantial gardens and proximity to Alton Water gives the property a breadth of appeal likely to suit couples, young families, downsizers or those seeking a characterful country retreat.
Tattingstone is a highly regarded Suffolk village situated on the Shotley Peninsula, surrounded by attractive rolling countryside and lying beside the extensive waters of Alton Water. The village is noted for its scenic setting, historic church and strong sense of community, while the reservoir provides an exceptional backdrop for sailing, windsurfing, paddle sports, cycling, birdwatching and countryside walking.
The property is conveniently positioned for access to Ipswich and the wider Suffolk countryside, while retaining the peace and privacy associated with village life. The surrounding area offers a wealth of footpaths, bridleways and rural lanes, together with access to the Dedham Vale and Stour Valley countryside. This balance of accessibility, outdoor recreation and an established village environment makes Cosy Nook an especially appealing permanent home or rural retreat.
