Church Street, Lavenham, Suffolk

THE PROPERTY

This charming property offers a warm welcome as you step into the bright and airy living room, filled with natural light from the front-facing window and complemented by a feature fireplace.

Flowing through to the kitchen, you’ll find a practical layout with a mix of worktop and storage space, integrated appliances including oven, hob, microwave and inset sink, plus space for white goods. The adjoining sun room adds an abundance of natural light, creating a lovely dining or seating area with French doors opening out to the private rear garden – ideal for entertaining or relaxing.

Upstairs, the main bedroom includes a built-in cupboard for convenient storage. The landing also hosts an additional storage cupboard. The second bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, benefits from a built-in wardrobe, while the third bedroom offers flexibility to be used as a home office or guest room. The shower room completes the first floor with a suite comprising a shower, pedestal sink and toilet.

Outside, the private garden is a genuine highlight, offering a peaceful space to relax or entertain. At the rear of the garden is a versatile outbuilding, ideal for additional storage or as a potential workspace. This structure was originally a garage, with gated access from the rear. Although the garage door has since been replaced with a service door and the gates removed, reinstating both would be a straightforward task—restoring the potential for secure, off-road parking. Currently, the owner makes use of convenient on-street parking directly behind the property, where the original access once stood.
