** GUIDE PRICE £450,000 - £475,000 ** This charming, character-filled cottage occupies an extensive plot with a beautifully maintained garden and is situated in the popular and picturesque village of Capel St Mary. Located on the southern fringes of Ipswich, the village offers easy access to Colchester via the A12. Capel St Mary is a jewel in the Suffolk countryside, offering a wide range of amenities, including a primary school, public houses and restaurants, and a local Co-op store. The property is only minutes away from the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), providing wonderful local walks.

The cottage is in a non-estate location, with the original part of the building dating back many hundreds of years, and improvements have been made over time. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance and inner hallway, a recently converted garage that now serves as a utility room with a storage cupboard and a versatile bedroom five/snug. The lounge at the rear boasts two sets of French doors leading to the gardens and a woodburner installed by the present vendors. Complementing the ground floor accommodation is a convenient cloakroom, a country-style kitchen with a free-standing range cooker, and a large dining room filled with natural light, featuring a fireplace and exposed original beams.

The first floor has been cleverly configured to include the principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, an additional independent shower room, a large independent bedroom with feature beams, and a further bedroom that leads to the final bedroom via a dwarf door with an original beam overhead.

Externally, a driveway provides off-road parking for two to three vehicles with side gate access leading to the rear. A large patio area awaits, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, with the remainder of the gardens mainly laid to lawn. A large outbuilding, insulated with power and Wi-Fi, offers the perfect work-from-home office but could also be used for a range of recreational activities.

This home is sure to impress. Please contact the office to secure your viewing appointment.
