A four-bed cottage in the Suffolk village of Sudbourne, near Woodbridge, has come up for sale for the first time in over 90 years - and it looks like something out of a fairytale.

Smokey House, which dates back to the Victorian era, is covered in ivy and creeping vines and is nestled in a plot of around an acre. Its grounds directly adjoin Tunstall Forest, which only adds to its fairytale vibe and locates it around two miles from Orford.

It is listed for sale with Fenn Wright for offers over £550,000, the first time the property has come up for sale since 1930, when it was bought by the Forestry Commission as part of a larger purchase from the Chillesford Estate.

The property is arranged over three storeys and boasts a traditional thatched roof. It would be well-suited to someone looking for a renovation project.

The front door leads into the entrance hallway, which has stairs rising to the first floor and a good-sized reception room with built-in storage on the right. To the left of the entrance hall there is an equal sized reception room, which leads to a kitchen with a utility space and wet room at the rear.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, which each have two windows to two sides and overlook the gardens to the front and rear. Two further bedrooms are located on the floor above.
