An elegant Edwardian detached family house which is situated at the heart of the picturesque Suffolk village of Great Glemham, beside the old chapel and within a very short walk of the Crown public house and the village hall. The house, which retains many lovely period architectural features, has been sympathetically modernised and substantially extended to provide a flexible range of accommodation that incorporates a self-contained guest suite which could be used as a “granny annexe”. The accommodation is double glazed and is centrally heated via ducted air from an air source heat pump. There are working fireplaces in two reception rooms which both have modern, efficient wood burning stoves. The owners have further enhanced the energy efficiency of Providence Cottage by in- stalling photo voltaic and solar hot water panels to the roof. The ground floor living space includes a sitting room, separate dining room and an open plan living room and kitchen, a utility room, a use- ful shower room and a fabulous garden room which has a vaulted ceiling and two pairs of French windows that open to the garden terrace. The guest suite offers an extremely flexible range of further accommoda- tion and this includes a further sitting room, a double bedroom, shower room and small kitchen. There are three double first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom plus a fourth, single, “through” bedroom. The driveway at the front of the house affords good off street parking. There is a garage and an attached cart lodge. The rear garden, which faces west and south, enjoys a high degree of privacy and has been beauti- fully landscaped and planted with a broad sun terrace, formal lawned area with herbaceous borders, a wildlife area and a cultivated ornamental kitchen garden.
