THE LOCATION
Cornard Tye is a peaceful hamlet just outside the market town of Sudbury, surrounded by open countryside and woodland. Set high up on the side of the Stour valley there are fine field views to the side and rear. Sudbury provides a good range of amenities, including many shops, schools, a small theatre and a modern swimming pool/leisure complex. There are Tesco, Waitrose and Sainsbury superstores, and branch line stations at Sudbury and Bures, which provide links through to Marks Tey providing a change to the main Colchester to Liverpool Street line. Colchester itself is around twelve miles away, providing direct main line connections and an extensive range of facilities and amenities. Around ten miles away is the Eight Ash Green junction of the A12 and A120 providing links through to the M25 and across via the new express road to Stansted Airport and the M11, making the property ideal for the city commuter.
THE PROPERTY
Tye Cottage is a wonderful historic property, Listed Grade II. The date 1777 is bricked into the plaster rendering in the dormer gables but there are suggestions the original property is 16th century with later additions. There is a modern two storey extension at one end, also built with rendered elevations and the whole property has a mellow clay tiled roof and traditional wooden windows. The interior is full of character with lots of exposed beams and good fireplaces but it is quite bright. There is large double bedroom and en suite bathroom on the ground floor, ideal as a guest suite or to allow single storey living. Oil fired central heating is provided and the house is generally very well presented and maintained throughout.
A particular feature are the wonderful gardens which surround the property and include a large meadow which could perhaps be a small paddock for equestrian use. There are numerous lawns, flowering shrub borders, a sizeable vegetable patch, natural pond with giant willow and many large specimen trees. There are wonderful country views to the rear and right hand side and at the front there is a vehicular access with good parking, garage, carport and log store - plenty of room to create more parking. In all around one and a quarter acres.
