Within 21 miles is the Heritage Coast, with coastal villages and towns such as Southwold, Aldeburgh and Thorpeness. Description Ramsons Cottage is Grade II listed and is believed to date from the 16th century. It is of predominantly brick and timber frame construction with part painted brick elevations and part colour washed rendered elevations under a pantile roof. Whilst it is believed that the property was originally a single dwelling, it was at one time used as five farm workers’ cottages and, more recently, as three. During their tenure, the vendors have carried out sympathetic renovation works and the cottage has rustic charm. The accommodation offers scope for use in a variety of ways. The floor plan included here shows the house as a substantial family home with up to five bedrooms. Until relatively recently, however, it was used for dual family occupation which worked well with both parts self contained with their own staircases and kitchens, etc., the divide falling between the rooms labelled on the floor plan as sitting room and dining room. Depending on a potential purchaser’s circumstances and needs, there are many possibilities including, for instance, the eastern end being used for visitors or holiday lets, subject to the normal consents. The cottage stands in wonderful gardensand grounds which benefit from a triple-bay cart lodge and brick built outbuildings. The gardens, which have been lovingly landscaped over the years, extend to 1.8 acres.
