Flempton, Suffolk

Flempton - set in former orchard, this home provides flexible two-storey accommodation all set in 1/3 of an acre, with double garage.

Orchard Cottage, is a beautiful brick-and-flint home, converted around 1991 from a barn built circa 1837, previously within the grounds of Flempton House. It is within 4 miles of the market town of Bury St Edmunds and 24 miles from Cambridge using the A14 dual carriageway.

The two-storey house has been a much-loved family home since the 1990s. It has been tastefully improved over many years with modern life in mind and in keeping with its country-style. The cottage features hand carpentry in wood throughout. It is light and airy with exposed beams and wall timbers. Recently freshly painted in neutral tones, it is fresh, bright and ready to move into for buyers seeking a comfortable and peaceful location.
