Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk

Description A striking, characterful yet unlisted detached residence, standing in a tucked away position set well back from the main road yet within the heart of the village, and therefore just a stone's throw from Bildeston's wide range of amenities.

Notable features include extensive off-road parking as well as two private garden areas and the opportunity for flexible living, courtesy of ground floor bedroom accommodation, as well as potential for additional income stream.

About the Area Bildeston is a thriving village set in the heart of the picturesque Suffolk countryside and close to the medieval Wool Towns including historic Lavenham. There is a small village store with post office, cycle shop, health care centre, hairdressers, sports field, village hall, church, primary school, bus service to various larger towns, two public houses and the renowned Bildeston Crown Hotel which was a former 15th Century coaching inn. Railway stations can be found at Stowmarket and Ipswich, both of which have a mainline connection to London's Liverpool Street Station.
