Location
Barn Cottage will be found in a rural yet accessible location on the edge of the village of Stratford St Andrew. The village benefits from a Shell petrol station with a shop and an active community centre, the Riverside Centre, which hosts many classes and activities. There is also a children's play area within the village playing field. Being close to the A12, the property is well placed to gain access to most of the region's prominent centres, which include the coastal towns of Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Walberswick and Southwold. The village of Snape, the home of the Aldeburgh Festival, is within about 4 miles and the market town of Saxmundham lies about 3 miles to the north-east, which has a good range of shops including Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, as well as a railway station with trains to Ipswich and onto London's Liverpool Street station. The historic town of Framlingham lies about 4 miles to the north-west with excellent schooling in both the state and private sector. Woodbridge lies about 8 miles to the south-west and the County town of Ipswich lies about 18 miles, also to the south-west.
Description
Built approximately 30 years ago by the current vendors, Barn Cottage is a delightful three bedroom detached timber frame dwelling that was built (as the name suggests) in a barn-style to provide ancillary accommodation to the vendors’ main home, Hall Barn. In 2022 the vendors secured planning permission to use Barn Cottage as a separate independent dwelling, and in the recent months have undertaken boundary sub-division works.
Barn Cottage offers a good amount of accommodation, extending to over 1,500 sq ft in all and comprising an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room that links through, in a quasi open-plan arrangement, to the sitting room that benefits from French doors opening onto the decked terrace. There is also a ground floor shower room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Forming part of Barn Cottage is the garage/store and potentially this could be converted to create additional ground floor accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
Barn Cottage benefits from a large plot of 1.2 acres in all. There is a generous gravel driveway for the parking and turning of vehicles, together with more formal gardens to the front, side and rear which opens onto a larger area (0.86 acres) of grassland and maturing trees beyond.
Services
Barn Cottage is owned by Hall Barn and shares electricity and water supplies. The vendor will install check meters for both the electricity and water supplies and recharge any utilities consumed to the purchaser at the prevailing rate. The sale contract will oblige the purchaser to install new, independent electricity and water connections within three months of the sale completing. The vendor has obtained indicative quotations for these connections and these are available on request.
Directions
Proceeding in a northerly direction on the A12, enter the village of Stratford St Andrew and take the turning left after the Shell garage onto Great Glemham Road where signposted to Great Glemham. After a short distance bear left onto Mill Lane and the entrance to the property will be found after approximately a quarter of a mile on the left hand side.
