Benefred, Spring Lane, Woodbridge, IP13 6EG

The property Benefred has been extensively renovated by our clients in recent years and offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a turn-key cottage, in a sought-after location in Ufford.

The cottage is unlisted but retains much of its period appeal including red-brick fireplaces, exposed studwork and ceiling beams, whist modern casement windows and modern doors help towards energy efficiency (as does a modern gas boiler).

The property is functional for taller buyers, being free from low beams.

The ground floor accommodation includes an entrance hall, a shower room with a cubicle power shower, and a good-sized, sympathetically finished (double aspect) kitchen which is fitted with a dishwasher, a double oven and extractor – this room orientates around a large red-brick fireplace which could be fitted with shelves or a wine racking.

The living room is well-proportioned and has a log burner set within a second red-brick fireplace and doors to the private courtyard.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor with one of these being a “walk-through”.

The master bedroom is generously proportioned and has fitted wardrobes installed into a recess as well as a vaulted ceiling.

The layout of the first floor would allow the conversion of one of the bedrooms into a first-floor bathroom if required.

Grounds A privately owned courtyard is accessed from both the sitting room and the entrance hall; this is stone paved and its easterly aspect makes it a morning sun-trap.

The front and side gardens are bordered with shrubbery and well-kempt hedges and are mostly laid to lawn.

The south-facing area to the front of the house measures around 120 foot and has been divided to create separate garden and driveway areas. This allows private parking for multiple vehicles.

Potential for garage/outbuilding Subject to suitable planning permissions being obtained, there is sufficient room for the construction of a double garage or cart lodge building at the foot of the plot.

Location The property is situated in the desirable village of Ufford in Suffolk; giving it a peaceful semi-rural setting whilst remaining well connected with the wider world.
