About this property

Looking for a home steeped in history and character, with grounds to match? This Grade II-listed thatched cottage in Hepworth is believed to originate from a medieval hall house. Set on approximately 0.56 acres, it combines exposed beams, historic brickwork and traditional fireplaces with spacious accommodation, delightful gardens, two versatile garden buildings and generous parking.

Period details include evidence of mullion windows and exposed timbers. The living room has a wood burner, whilst the dining room features a working inglenook open fireplace and French doors onto the rear patio. A kitchen/breakfast room, ground-floor shower room and separate study/snug provide flexibility. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, one accessed via its own staircase, a Jack and Jill-style bathroom and generous storage cupboards. The third floor has a small box room/fourth bedroom. Oil-fired radiators serve the home, with full fibre broadband installed. Outside, the grounds include mature trees, shrubs, a vegetable patch and hedged front and rear boundaries, with timber garden walls elsewhere. A garden room and separate garden studio both have electricity, with a single garage, parking for multiple vehicles, and an EV charger installed.

Hepworth is a picturesque Suffolk village set amid open countryside, with historic buildings, a village church and country walks. Lying just off the A143 between Bury St Edmunds and Diss, it offers a peaceful rural setting with access to wider shopping, schools and services in neighbouring villages and market towns.

Valuer's Opinion: A truly individual period home. It is rare for a property like this to come to the market offering such versatility, space and character. From its historic features to the expansive gardens and flexible outbuildings, this is a rare opportunity to own something truly special.
