Tudor Grange Rattlesden | Suffolk Tudor Grange Rattlesden | Suffolk Rattlesden Dating back to the 16th Century, this delightful, attractive, Grade II Listed thatched residence is full of character, warmth and charm. Situated in a superb rural setting just outside the delightful village“ of Rattlesden and set in grounds of 0.47 acres (stms). Rattlesden village lies in a sweeping valley between the market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. Unusually for the county of Suffolk, this portion is decidedly hilly. This enhances Rattlesden's natural charm with the pleasant reaches of the locally known River Rat, a pretty rivulet feeding the river Gipping. A unique feature of the village are a pair of whale-bones that span the river, sadly now replicas of the originals. There is a strong community spirit within the village which is evident in the church, chapel, two pubs, and numerous organisations. The post office and village shop which is run by volunteers, is yet another example of the dedication and enthusiasm of village residents. Rattlesden retains such a character and warmth thus making this rural parish a little gem! * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. Step Inside Tudor Grange has a warm and welcoming feeling from the first few steps into the entrance hall. The property has a wealth of character with exposed beams, and stud work. The downstairs accommodation is versatile and there is plenty on offer here for the new owner to create a glorious family home or for a couple requiring more space. The lobby/sitting area has a charming red brick fire place with bressummer beam, again adding to the character that has been retained within the property. Stepping through to the dining/drawing room with two further open fireplaces, and its own garden room, this part of the house enchants and delights. There are two bathrooms in the property, the first being just off the lobby, which can also be accessed via a corridor that leads from the kitchen/breakfast room. The good size kitchen has fitted wall and base units, and whilst it does require updating, it is fully functioning. It has doors to the driveway and grounds beyond. The first floor accommodation is accessed via the staircase in the entrance hall and leads to the landing with views over the front of the property. Here you will find four delightful bedrooms, all with their own character, which captivate and charm. The family bathroom with separate bath and shower, complete this floor. The one bedroom annex comprises of a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, a first floor double bedroom and store room. Step Outside Tudor Grange is set back from the road and boasts a carriage driveway providing parking for many vehicles, and there is also a garage attached to the rear of the annex. The front area is mainly lawn, mature planting and flower beds. Discovering the property's grounds is truly heavenly, and conjures up images of the family enjoying all there is to behold in the simple pleasures of outdoor life. The grounds extend to 0.47 of an acre (stms).There are many pretty spots around the property where you can just sit and enjoy the splendid views. Location Poy Street Green is just on the edge of the village of Rattlesden, and situated approximately 2 miles south of the A14, which in turn gives access to the Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds (8 miles), Cambridge (33 miles) and Ipswich (19 miles).
