Location

Aspall itself is a rural Parish, which has become well known due to it being home to Aspall Cyder. Within 2 miles is the lovely large village of Debenham, which is considered to be one of East Suffolk’s most desirable settlements, benefitting from excellent shops and businesses including a small supermarket, hardware store, newsagents, tea shop, doctors’ surgery, butchers, post office, greengrocers, vets’ practice, fish and chip shop, Indian takeaway, public houses and leisure centre. It is also served by Sir Robert Hitcham CEVAP Primary School and Debenham High School. There are also a number of excellent local independent schools including, amongst others, Framlingham College and Woodbridge School. The county town of Ipswich is approximately 14 miles to the south. Stowmarket is approximately 12 miles to the west, and Diss is 11 miles to the north. All offer a range of national shops and services, and have main line railway stations with trains to London’s Liverpool Street station. The A14 trunk road provides access in a westerly direction towards Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. The historic city of Norwich is approximately 26 miles to the north as the crow flies.
Description
2 Aspall Green is a pretty, period cottage of predominantly timber framed construction with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. The property benefits from historical features such as exposed timbers, but has the advantage of not being listed. There are UPVC windows and doors throughout the property and an oil fired central heating system.
A door to the front of the cottage leads to a hallway where there is a built in cloak cupboard, a door to the sitting room and the downstairs shower room. The sitting room has an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and bressummer beam above. There is access to an alcove/snug, off which is the study that overlooks the rear garden. Also off the sitting room is a good sized dining room with French doors opening up to a patio and garden. Adjacent to this is a utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer. There is a door to the exterior and a further door to the kitchen. This is fitted with low level wall units and has windows to the front and rear. As well as a double electric oven, there is a wood block work surface and inset halogen hob. In addition is a brick fireplace with wood burning stove and the oil fired boiler. Stairs lead to the first floor landing where there is a built-in wardrobe and doors off to the three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and views over the rear garden. The two further double bedrooms have gable end windows. In addition is a bathroom with hand wash basin, WC and bath with shower above.
The Outside and Annexe
The property is approached from a private track through a five bar gate onto a shingle parking area for a number of vehicles. This leads to the double garage which is of timber construction under a tiled roof. It is sub-divided into two sections. The first has a remote controlled roller shutter door to the front. It measures 15’8 x 11’6. The second section has double timber doors to the front and measures 7’7 x 16’1. Power is connected and there is storage above. Adjacent to the garage is a garden shed and two greenhouses. The gardens are delightful. The cottage itself sits centrally and surrounding these are lawns with mature beds and an assortment of mature trees including walnut, acer and oaks. The rear garden faces south and there is a patio abutting the dining room.
Within the garden is a timber built annexe. Double doors lead into a bedroom/sitting room with electric heating. Off this is a shower room with WC, hand wash basin and shower. Also, there is a kitchen with stainless steel sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine. The annexe has windows enjoying views over the garden.
Viewing – Strictly by appointment with the agent.
Services – Mains water and electricity. Oil fired central heating system. Private drainage system (whilst the vendor has informed the agent that the septic tank works in a satisfactory manner, it is unlikely to comply with the modern regulations and a buyer should budget to install a new sewage treatment plant.
