Location: Lavenham is a picturesque village nestled in the heart of Suffolk, England, renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and charming cobbled streets. Often described as one of the best-preserved wool towns in the country, Lavenham boasts a rich history dating back to the 14th century, when it thrived as a centre for the wool trade. The village is dominated by its iconic, timber-framed buildings. The streets are lined with quaint, half-timbered cottages, boutique shops, and traditional pubs, offering both residents and visitors a step back in time to an era when Lavenham was one of the most prosperous towns in England. One of the highlights of Lavenham is its stunning St. Peter and St. Paul Church. Whether wondering the narrow lanes, visiting the local museum, or enjoying the nearby countryside, Lavenham offers a peaceful escape steeped in history.

As you enter the property, you are immediately greeted by an impressive reception room featuring exposed wall and ceiling timbers, whilst also enhanced by an imposing Tudor inglenook fireplace, complimented with a bressummer beam and benefitting from an inset cast iron log burner - perfect for those pending crisp, autumn and winter evenings. Accessible from the reception is both the inner hallway and kitchen/dining room. The kitchen-diner proves to be the focal part of the house, the ideal place for hosting and entertaining and notable specifications include: Limed oak units crafted by Lavenham Joinery with polished Verde Cascade granite work surfaces over, a range of integrated appliances such as Smeg hob, oven and microwave and BOSCH fridge/freezer and washer/dryer, engineered oak flooring and dual aspect doors lead to the rear garden, flooding the room with a wealth of natural light and providing panoramic views of a generous rear garden. Internal glazed doors provide access a spacious study, with built-in bookshelves and a storage cupboard with shelving units.

An internal hallway and staircase benefits from under-stairs storage and leads to the first floor. Both the principal and second bedroom are of impressive double size, with the principal bedroom benefitting from built-in-wardrobes and bedroom two, enjoying views of the rolling countryside. A first floor family bathroom is also available, featuring tiled wall finishes and a shower over the bath.

Outside, this characterful home enjoys a south facing rear garden, enjoying an array of mature shrubs, hedges and trees throughout. The majority is predominately laid to lawn, with a section also gravelled and offering the ideal place for outdoor dining and seating furniture.
