2 bedroom house

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION FOR SALE VIA INFORMAL TENDER with best and final offers due by midday on Thursday 25th March 2021. Offered to the market for the first time in sixty-seven years is a former game keepers' cottage, enjoying unlisted status and understood to date from the Edwardian era. Situated on a much sought after, rarely available lane on the periphery of the much sought-after village of Leavenheath, the property is located within the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers considerable scope for modernisation, extension and possible development (subject to the necessary planning consents). Offering an accommodation schedule of approximately 900 sq ft, the property is arranged via two ground-floor reception rooms with notable retained features including fireplaces, excellent ceiling heights, two double bedrooms, traditional red brick exterior and part tiled/part slate roofline. Whilst I think it is fair to suggest the property requires modernisation/updating throughout, it nonetheless offers huge potential with a detached garage, ample private parking and total plot size of approximately 0.45 acres abutting paddock land.
