IVY COTTAGE Charming and quaint Victorian double fronted house beautifully presented with contemporary extension.

Ivy Cottage is a charming red brick, pantile roof, double fronted village house in the very heart of this popular Suffolk village. Substantially enlarged from its earliest incarnation, circa 1881 the property for many years was the village shop serving the local community until 1967 when it was returned to residential use. The cottage benefits from a substantial two storey extension with a single storey side extension where the contemporary open plan living arrangements work in harmony with the original layout of the cottage.
