About the property
* Guide £350'000 to £375'000 * Character Cottage with Countryside Views, Stunning Garden & Planning Permission to Extend. Occupying a pleasant position within the sought-after village of Hintlesham, this charming character cottage combines period features, generous living space and pleasant views towards the surrounding countryside, whilst also benefiting from planning permission for a substantial two-storey side extension. The ground floor offers two reception rooms, each full of character and appeal. The sitting room centres around a large wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point, whilst the separate dining room features an attractive fireplace and provides an ideal space for both everyday dining and entertaining. Both rooms connect conveniently to the kitchen, which spans the full width of the property. A particular highlight of the home is the bright and spacious kitchen, offering an abundance of worktop space and storage cupboards, together with a breakfast bar and stable door opening onto the rear garden. On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms positioned at the front of the property, both enjoying pleasant views towards the surrounding countryside. A further nursery room would also make an ideal dressing room or home office. Completing the accommodation is a bathroom comprising a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. Planning permission has previously been granted for a substantial two-storey side extension. The approved plans would create a spacious additional reception room together with a boot room, WC and larder, whilst upstairs would provide a further double bedroom with dressing room and en-suite. This offers excellent potential to create a larger long-term family home whilst retaining the cottage's character. No chain delay.

Outside
Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front is a generous gravel driveway providing off-road parking for three to four vehicles, whilst gated side access leads to the rear garden. The beautifully maintained rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully landscaped with a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto an extensive lawn bordered by a variety of mature trees and established planting. Beyond the garden are attractive open views, further enhancing the property's appealing village setting. *There is also a secluded hot tub area, with the hot tub itself available by separate negotiation*.
