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.
