Idyllic pink thatched cottage for sale in Suffolk
Nestled in rural Suffolk, this Grade II-listed cottage for sale retains its county's heritage shade of pink, while boasting a brand new thatch and fitted kitchen breakfast room.
Built in the mid-1600s, Foundation House is set back from the road with a sprawling lawn and a pair of ancient apple trees in front. Multi-paned sashes with decorative moulding and a pitched porch offer a fanciful Georgian feel when approaching the door.
The historic property has been lovingly restored over the past year by the owners, who have been sure to preserve its period features. Statement oak beams – some with ancient carvings – feature in most rooms, including the two spacious reception rooms.
Other highlights include a red-brick inglenook that oversees the dining area, a ground floor shower room with Victorian inspired tiles, and the newly-installed kitchen at the far end of the house. Flooded with light and fitted with duck-egg Shaker units, exposed shelving and an attractive Belfast sink, it's a modern sanctuary in ancient surrounds.
Look out for the cosy book nook set into the wall in place of the old kitchen fireplace.
While the large cottage already offers four bedrooms on the first floor, this is a home suitable for buyers with a vision for expansion. The second floor of the property is a generously-sized attic, keenly awaiting conversion. There is also a substantial outbuilding in the same dreamy Suffolk-pink, with the potential for an annexe, subject to permission.
Not forgetting the south-facing garden that enjoys day-long sunshine, a stone terrace and large pond make this expansive area an ideal starting point for a keen gardener in the market for a project.
This property is on the market for £750,000 with Fine & Country.
