Nestled in a tranquil rural village, Pleasure Ground Cottage stands as a picturesque testament to timeless charm and whimsical character. Dating back to the 16th century, previously two cottages, this Grade II listed thatched now detached home, set away from the hustle and bustle with enchanting views over a lush green - comes with an unexpected twist - making it a truly special find for those seeking both peace and charm yet an element of uniqueness.
As you approach, a generous driveway greets you, providing ample off-road parking and access to a tandem thatched garage, in keeping with the tone of the home. The mature gardens surrounding the cottage create a serene haven, their lush foliage ensuring a feeling of seclusion and privacy. Here, the garden is a delightful retreat, perfect for summer barbecues or peaceful afternoon contemplation, unspoiled by any overlooking properties.
Upon entering the cottage, you are immediately captivated by its rich character, enhanced by striking features such as red brick Suffolk flooring, exposed timber beams, rustic brickwork, and charming thumb latch doors. These elements blend seamlessly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that invites you to explore further.
The main accommodation welcomes you with a dual-aspect living room, where exposed brick walls and timber beams lend a rustic elegance. Underfoot, a soft wool carpet cushions your step, while a striking focal fireplace with a wood burner beckons on cooler evenings, creating a cozy and snug ambiance.
Continuing into the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room exudes a deep Farrow & Ball style palette that beautifully harmonizes with the cottage’s historical charm. Here, the fusion of character and convenience is palpable. A Rayburn Aga takes center stage, yet a practical conventional oven and hob provide additional functionality ensuring culinary delights are easily prepared, making the ideal setting to cook and prepare whilst socializing with friends effortlessly and simultaneously.
The kitchen smoothly transitions into the formal dining area, where natural limestone flooring enhances the sense of space. French doors invite the outside in, opening onto the rear garden, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living—a perfect setting for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the serene views.
Ascend the staircase to discover the crowning jewel of the cottage: a grand master suite that boasts a vast vaulted ceiling with extensive exposed beams, offering a sense of openness and airiness. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, whilst fitted wardrobes provide ample storage without compromising the aesthetic. A traditional en suite bathroom awaits, featuring a stunning cast iron claw-footed roll-top bathtub, promising luxurious relaxation after a long day.
The unexpected twist lies within the perfectly appointed annexe, ideal for guests or as an income-generating AirBnB. This space features an open-plan family lounge and kitchen area, adorned with exposed timber beams that echo the main cottage's charm. The kitchenette offers practicality while the triple-aspect glazing fills the space with warmth and light. A beautiful timber door leads out to a private lawned garden, creating a peaceful escape for your guests.
Upstairs, the annexe reveals two inviting bedrooms portraying a perfect layout for a master bedroom with its very own dressing room - both with impressive exposed timber beams and a solid oak floor and a quirky designed ‘Jack and Jill’ type wash facility awaits.
