Location
The property is located in the centre of the pretty village of Darsham, close to Suffolk’s beautiful Heritage Coast. Darsham benefits from a popular dining public house, The Fox, as well as a petrol station with general stores. There is also the railway station, which is just over one mile from the property, and which is on the Ipswich to Lowestoft line, with onward links to London’s Liverpool Street station. Within 1.5 miles is the popular village of Westleton, and the sea at Dunwich is 4.5 miles. Minsmere RSPB bird reserve is just 4 miles. The popular coastal locations of Southwold, Walberswick and Aldeburgh, are also close by. The A12 trunk road is under a mile from the property and, therefore, there are easy links throughout the east of the county. Within 6 miles is Saxmundham, where there are both Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, as well as a number of individual shops. There are GP surgeries and schools in both Saxmundham and Halesworth. Halesworth, also 6 miles, offers a traditional shopping experience, as well as a museum and The Cut arts centre hosting many music events and classes. Golf and sailing can both be found close by, as well as other lovely market towns such as Woodbridge and Framlingham, with its historic medieval castle. Snape, with its world famous concert hall, is 10 miles.

1.  Every care has been taken with the preparation of these particulars, but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed.  If there is any point, which  is of particular importance to you, please obtain professional confirmation. Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you.  These Particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract.  All measurements quoted are approximate.  The Fixtures, Fittings & Appliances have not been tested and therefore no guarantee can be given that they are in working order.  Photographs are reproduced for general information and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included.  No guarantee can be given that any planning permission or listed building consent or building regulations have been applied for or approved. The agents have not been made aware of any covenants or restrictions that may impact the property, unless stated otherwise.  Any site plans used in the particulars are indicative only and buyers should rely on the Land Registry/transfer plan. 

2. The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 require all Estate Agents to obtain sellers’ and buyers’ identity.

3. Whilst the vendors use the attic room as a third bedroom and the previous owners did the same, it is likely that the local planning authority/building regulations department may just deem it as a store or study.

4.  The neighbouring cottage has a pedestrian right of way over the rear garden for the delivery of fuel and the collection of refuse.  The neighbour does not currently use this route and has fenced it off as they have access via another route.  March 2024
