Description
This charming detached cottage, listed as Grade II for its architectural and historical interest, was built in the 19th century as the gardener's cottage for Fornham House. The property boasts a prominent setting in the heart of the sought-after village of Fornham St Martin, just outside Bury St Edmunds, and is surrounded by very private gardens enclosed by a high brick wall. The property has been granted planning permission for a single-storey rear extension, creating a large kitchen/breakfast room, utility, garage, and bedroom with en-suite above. The cottage features a wealth of architectural details, including knapped flint with red brick quoins, ornamental cast iron tracery, and exposed beams. The interior boasts a charming sitting/dining room with open fireplace and log burning stove, as well as a shower room, kitchen, and three comfortable bedrooms. The property also has a delightful walled garden, a former garage, and outbuildings with potential for extension or renovation. With its convenient location and many original features, Kristie Cottage is an ideal home for those seeking a peaceful and private retreat.
