If you are looking for a new home, or just feeling a bit nosey, then look no further than our Property Of The Week features, which will be showcasing the most interesting homes for sale right now on our Shotley peninsula Nub News property pages.

This week's outstanding home on offer is this charming and presentable period cottage located in the historic hub of the village on the market with Chapman Stickels for £475,000.

Located on the eastern side of Monks Eleigh's picturesque Church Hill and adjoining village green, The Cottage forms part of the attractive street scene of numerous individual period properties, which are predominantly Grade II Listed.

According to its own listing, the house is probably of early 19th century origin and is of part brick, part timber frame construction with more recent additions to the rear and side.

Offering favourable ceiling heights for a cottage of its ilk, the well-proportioned accommodation also provides charming period features, which includes exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace with woodburner to the sitting room, and a further fireplace to the dining room which is currently unused.

The rear kitchen is fitted on two walls, with an adjoining utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor, a full width main bedroom has much appeal (formally two bedrooms) which offers two full height wardrobes to either side of a redundant fireplace.

The remaining accommodation comprises a further double bedroom and a rear bathroom which form part of the later rear extension. All the principal rooms on both floors enjoy delightful views over the green and beyond, via recently replaced double-glazed bespoke windows.

Outside, further improvements by the current owner include a charming front garden defined by wrought iron estate fencing, with shingle areas set either side of central steps of soft red brick.

The private rear garden comprises a central lawn bound by established flower borders, rear patio, established conifer hedging and a seating area to the far eastern boundary. Off-road parking and an attached single garage is set to the northern side of the house.

Monks Eleigh is a very attractive village set within the south Suffolk countryside, with the popular Swan public house and community shop / post office located some 50 metres away from the property.

The excellent Hollow Trees Farm Shop is nearby with the market towns of Hadleigh and Sudbury both within easy reach.
