Detached house for sale in Mill Hill, Capel St Mary, Ipswich IP9

The property
Valley Cottage is an 1850 built (unlisted) home, which occupies a pleasant, elevated position within delightful grounds, on the edge of the village of Capel St Mary.

The property has been well-looked after by our clients during their ownership, including the addition of tasteful double-glazed casement windows and French doors, which were fitted by the Burgess Group. Retained period features include a red-brick fireplace in the sitting room (with a log burner), wooden doors and decorative vintage fireplaces.

The kitchen has room for a four-person breakfast table and features granite surfaces, a stainless-steel oven with extractor above, a Insinkerator Boiling Water Tap and a dishwasher. Other ground floor accommodation includes the sitting room, a separate dining room, a separate study, a WC and a utility room.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor which are supported by a bathroom (with a shower above the bath) and a separate shower room.

Grounds and outbuildings

The plot totals 0.38 of an acre with the house being set at the front and having a good-sized shingled and gated driveway to the side.

The rear garden is mostly lawned, making it an ideal play space for kids, with privacy and a backdrop provided by a wide variety of tall trees including a substantial blue atlas cedar tree and a copper maple tree . A single garage has a very usable garden office/den attached to the rear and there are two separate patio areas.

Location

The house is nicely located towards the edge of the village of Capel St Mary but within a reasonable walk of the village centre, where there is a Co-op supermarket, a library, a baker, a newsagent and a doctor’s surgery. There are two pubs within walking distance of the house and the village primary school is around half a mile away.

Access to the A12 by car is easy, meaning Colchester, Ipswich and Manningtree (with its mainline station) are all within a reasonable drive.
