This charming semi-detached home is believed to date from the Edwardian era and enjoys a glorious semi-rural village setting.
In recent years, the property has been much improved by the present owners, with works including a new kitchen, a new private drainage system and a new oil-fired boiler.
The house enjoys wonderful proportions, with high ceilings and generous room sizes. With 2 woodburners, sash windows and original flooring, this character home is somewhere you are sure to fall in love with.
Rattlesden is an exceptionally pretty village with a strong sense of community and is well placed for reaching the market towns of Bury St Edmunds (10 miles) and Stowmarket (5 miles), which has a main line rail link to London Liverpool Street.
With professionally landscaped gardens, useful outbuildings, 2 parking spaces and potential to extend, subject of course to consent, this is a property that really needs to be viewed.
