Location

Hope Cottage is located in the popular village of Ufford, just a short distance from the popular dining pub, The Crown. Also close by is the well regarded White Lion public house, with micro brewery. The Ufford Park Hotel, Golf Club and Spa is also only a short distance away. The historic market town of Woodbridge lies within approximately 3 miles to the south and is best known for its outstanding riverside setting. It offers a good choice of schooling in both state and private sectors, a wide variety of shops and restaurants, a cinema/theatre and marina. There is also a railway station with connecting trains via Ipswich to London’s Liverpool Street Station, which take just over the hour. There is a further railway station at the neighbouring village of Melton, and also at Campsea Ashe, 4 miles, both with interconnecting trains to Ipswich. The well served village of Wickham Market is 2 miles to the north and offers a Co-operative supermarket, a selection of shops, cafes and eateries and a primary school. The Heritage Coast is within easy reach including the popular centres of Orford, Aldeburgh and Southwold. The county town of Ipswich lies about 12 miles to the south-west.

Description

Hope Cottage has been immaculately refurbished during the current vendor’s tenure, having had the gardens landscaped and a new kitchen and bathroom installed. The accommodation is exceptionally well presented and comprises porch, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, a double bedroom and good-sized bathroom. The property has been used as a successful holiday let for the last few years, but would also be perfect as a second home from where to explore the Heritage Coast. Letting income figures can be provided upon request.

There is an enclosed bin storage area and a seating area. The rear garden has been cleverly designed, being mainly laid to artificial grass with an exceptionally private seating area that is enclosed on one side by close boarded fencing with gated access to the rear, and a wall on the other side. A door opens to an outside loo/storage area, which is currently not in use. At the bottom of the garden is what is known by the vendors as the ‘Southwold Beach Hut’, which has French doors to the front opening to a tastefully decorated interior that provides a very comfortable seating/dining area. There is a gate to the rear which provides access across the neighbour’s driveway to the highway. Holiday guests are currently not permitted to use this and the gate remains locked.
