Willow Cottage is a classic Grade II listed cottage in Suffolk dating from the 15th century, and which has been extended by the current owners to nearly double its size.
The original part of the cottage features a characterful sitting room with inglenook fireplace and open studwork and a good sized kitchen, two principal bedrooms, and a dressing room/child's bedroom as well as a family bathroom on the first floor.
The extension houses the dining room, utility room and a garden hall, and upstairs a further bedroom and an open plan sitting room with a delightful balcony.
