It’s been stylishly and beautifully extended with its fabulous kitchen breakfast room being a real highlight. Opposite the village green, you’re at the heart of community life here too and well placed to explore all the delights that this area has to offer. Kerb Appeal And Character This pretty cottage was once home to a cobbler and various lathes have been found in the garden. In recent years, the cottage has been sympathetically and stylishly extended to a high standard, with a gorgeous, hand-crafted, bespoke kitchen built in a classic country style. When the owner first viewed it, she fell instantly in love: “I’ve always hankered after living in that quintessential country cottage with roses around the front door and here it is!” she smiles. Beautifully Done During her time here, she has restored the floors, uncovered the beams inside and installed a woodburner in the lovely brick fireplace, adding a cosy feel on winter evenings. The snug welcoming feel of this room contrasts wonderfully with the bright and airy feel of the kitchen beyond but it all works together seamlessly. In summer, you can open the doors wide from the kitchen onto the garden and spill out into the outside space. A former owner began landscaping works out here and the current owner has continued them, enjoying the creation of the attractive surroundings where she can relax and unwind in tranquility and sunshine. “It’s so sunny out here that I’ve had to get a parasol over the chairs so I have some shade too,” she explains. Never A Dull Moment The cottage sits opposite the Millennium Green which is a popular spot within the village. People walk their dogs around there and it makes for a lovely verdant outlook, as well as being nice and peaceful. In addition, you know it’s not going to be developed, so you can be confident of enjoying the view for years to come. Blundeston is a desirable village thanks in part to the lively community. It’s easy to get to know people here and there is truly something for everyone. The village hall hosts clubs and events, including a history group, W.I., bowls club and more, while the pub often has live music nights. If you love walking, cycling or jogging then this will suit – you can head over to the lakes at Lound, visit Somerleyton or go over to the coast. “Quite a few people keep boats or kayaks as it’s so easy to get out on the river from here,” the owner confirms. There’s certainly plenty to do and it’s a great area for anyone who loves wildlife, nature, or simply the outdoors lifestyle. It’s also handy for the A47, taking you up to Great Yarmouth or down to Lowestoft. “In addition to the doors from the kitchen, there’s a stable door, so you can open the top in the mornings and let the fresh air stream in.” “There’s so much character within and it’s complemented by the bright and attractive kitchen. I think it’s beautiful!” “Blundeston is such a lovely village. People here are friendly and there’s a strong sense of community.” “Being opposite the village green means you have a beautiful view from the front, while at the back you look over the pretty, private garden.” Local Authority: East Suffolk Council Council Tax Band: B Agents Notes Gas Central Heating Mains Drainage These particulars, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.
