A detached, largely Victorian property in the rural hamlet of Ash Street, near Hadleigh, is up for sale at a guide price of £795k.
Brett Cottage is an unlisted property which probably dates from the mid-19th century.
The original Victorian cottage has been extended to the side and rear and is now a good-sized family home with plenty of character and original features.
On the ground floor of the property, there’s a triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, which is part of a two-storey extension.
The kitchen includes plenty of cupboard and drawer space, slate work surfaces, an oil-fired range cooker and a twin butler’s sink.
A dining room and sitting room form the original part of the house. The dining room has retained its cast iron stove and herringbone brick floor, while the sitting room features an open fireplace.
At the rear of the property, there’s a utility/boot room and adjoining study, which are housed in a single-storey extension and enjoy views of the garden.
An internal hall between the dining room and the kitchen/breakfast room has a door to a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor.

A patio, covered by a pergola, which is ideal for outdoor entertaining, adjoins the rear of the property.
