Description
Bennefred comprises a delightful and well presented three double bedroom attached cottage that will be found in an accessible location in Ufford, close to Woodbridge and Wickham Market. 

The vendors acquired the property approximately 8 years ago, and shortly thereafter commissioned an extensive programme of renovation and refurbishment, which included the installation of a new boiler, central heating and hot water systems, rewiring the property, installing new kitchen and shower room facilities as well as redecorating and reflooring the ground floor.   Parts of the roof and chimney were also repaired.

Outside there is a delightful and very private ‘sun trap’ courtyard area, that is paved with Indian sandstone, whilst to the front and side of the property there is an enclosed garden, that is mainly laid to grass for ease of maintenance, but with borders along the perimeter containing a variety of flowers and shrubs. The garden is enclosed within a mature and established hedge, together with willow weave fence panels. Beyond the garden there is a generous parking and turning area, that is sufficiently large enough for 4 to 5 vehicles. The access is shared from Spring Lane with the neighbouring property, Hill Cottage.
