A cracking detached former coach house in Little Bealings, near Woodbridge, has landed on the market with a £1.2 million guide price, and it’s already turning heads. Sunfield Cottage, thought to hail from 1904, sprawls over 2,600 square feet across three floors, blending red brick and timber charm under mansard and flat roofs—all nestled on a generous 2.5-acre plot.
“At the heart of this 2,600 sq ft home is the kitchen/dining/living room, which is open plan but with defined spaces for each,” estate agents Jackson-Stops note, spotlighting the Shaker-style kitchen with its integrated gadgets and breakfast bar, a cosy living room boasting a wood-burning stove and bay window, plus a dining spot with bi-fold doors spilling onto the garden.
Step inside, and the ground floor keeps the goodies coming—a reception room with double doors to a front terrace, a study, a utility/boot room, and a handy WC, all branching off a central hallway.
Upstairs, the first floor dishes up four double bedrooms—one with an en-suite—and a family bathroom, while the second floor crowns it with a plush principal bedroom, bathroom, and a central dressing nook.
“The property is in an elevated position, and the garden, which is laid to lawn, has views over the Fynn Valley,” the agents add, painting a picture of serene countryside vistas.
Outside’s no slouch either—a long shingle driveway winds to a garage/workshop and a spanking-new oak-fronted cart lodge, built in the last 18 months with solar panels, two open parking bays, a shuttered bay, and a garden store.
“The property benefits from a cart lodge with three parking bays,” Jackson-Stops highlight, alongside a covered entertaining nook with its own wood-burner, linking the kitchen to a paved terrace and sprawling lawn.
Tucked just outside Little Bealings, it’s a hop from Kesgrave Hall and Martlesham Heath Retail Park, four miles from Woodbridge’s indie shops and theatre, and six from Ipswich’s quick trains to London Liverpool Street.
For London property fans eyeing a rural steal, this £1.2 million beauty might just be the ticket—ring Jackson-Stops on 01473 218218 or visit jackson-stops.co.uk.
