Location
Bay Tree Cottage will be found to the west of the highly desirable village of Blaxhall, set along Station Road; a quiet, unclassified country lane.  The village benefits from a public house, the Ship Inn, which is well respected and offers homemade food, real ales and bed and breakfast accommodation.  From the cottage there is easy access to Blaxhall Heath and into Tunstall Forest.  Blaxhall also has a large playing field with an assortment of children's play equipment. 

The village is approximately 8 miles from the coast, with the closest town being Aldeburgh.  The internationally renowned Snape Maltings Concert Hall can be found within 2 miles and there are other unspoilt villages and towns in close proximity, such as Dunwich and Orford (with its magnificent castle). Southwold is approximately 20 miles from Blaxhall and is home to the Adnams Brewery.  There is a primary school at Snape, 2½ miles, and Farlingaye High School in Woodbridge, 8 miles, is highly regarded.  There are also public schools in Woodbridge and Framlingham, both of which are about 8½ miles from the property. 

The county town of Ipswich lies about 17 miles to the south-west and has regular trains to London's Liverpool Street station, scheduled to take just over the hour.  There is also a railway station at Campsea Ashe, 3 miles, with connecting trains to Ipswich.

Directions
Proceeding in a westerly direction on the A12, bypass Wickham Market and take the turning where signposted to Framlingham, Wickham Market and Orford.   At the top of the slip road turn right onto the B1078 where signposted to Orford and Campsea Ashe.  Continue through Campsea Ashe, and over the railway bridge, and on exiting the village turn left onto Station Road just after Ashe Park.  Continue along this road for just over half a mile and the property will be found on the left hand side.

Description
Bay Tree Cottage is a beautifully presented three double bedroom extended cottage with excellent range of outbuildings, together with gardens and grounds of nearly an acre, occupying a delightful rural location with the Parish of Blaxhall, near Snape.  

The current owners acquired Bay Tree Cottage in 2020, and during their tenure have undertaken a number of improvements; the former study was extended to create a wonderfully light dining area that links with the kitchen and sitting room fantastically well, as well as replacing the kitchen with bespoke, handmade units set beneath Quartz worksurfaces.  

In all Bay Tree Cottage itself extends to nearly 1,900 sq. ft (172 sqm) with a spacious entrance hall for receiving guests, an impressive 21’ drawing room with open brick fireplace containing a woodburning stove and French doors providing direct access to the patio at the rear.  In addition there is the aforementioned revised kitchen and dining room arrangement, a comfortable sitting room, a cloakroom and a very practical boot/utility room on the ground floor.  On the first floor there is a galleried-style landing, three good size double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate shower.  

Bay Tree Cottage also enjoys a generous plot with excellent range of outbuildings.  There is a good sized shingled driveway and this leads to the double garage, which has been insulated and is currently used as a gym, together with studio guest bedroom with en-suite above, accessed via an external staircase.  To the rear of the garden is the 32’ oak frame workshop and standalone, brick-built outside office, that may have originally been used as a washroom.  

To the rear of Bay Tree Cottage are the formal gardens which comprise a patio area that can be accessed from both the drawing room and sitting room and from which steps lead up to the garden that is predominantly laid to grass for ease of maintenance but with a number of well-stocked borders around the perimeter.  Beside the garage is a second patio area, which faces west and enjoys the sun during the latter part of the day and into the evening.  This area is used for barbequing, and with lean-to accommodation off the garage offering a garden room/covered seating area and separate shower with WC.  

To the west is the former paddock, that is enclosed within post and rail fencing and mature hedging.  In addition, immediately to the east of the property is an additional single garage/store with concrete parking area to the front, that forms part of a terrace of garages.
