Description
Great Saxham is a rural hamlet located about four miles to the west of the historic cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds which affords excellent shopping facilities with the recently opened arc shopping centre and twice weekly open air market together with educational, recreational and cultural amenities. The A14 dual carriageway can be accessed from Risby and thus affords good road links to Ipswich, Cambridge , the Midlands and London via the M11.
“Clay Cottage” stands behind a road frontage of about 136 ft and facing onto woodland with fields beyond within its own angular grounds extending to approximately 0.28 of an acre subject to survey which immediately adjoin extensive open farmland. The property, which according to Local Authority records, is Grade II listed and believed to date from around the 18th Century being of mainly timber framed construction with rendered and colour washed elevations under a hipped pantiled roof. The cottage displays a number of period features including fine exposed timbers and two circa 19th century wrought iron hexagon and diamond paned casement windows on both end walls. This delightful cottage of character further benefits from the opportunity to extend with planning permission granted July 2007 (App. No. SE/07/0886 - SE/07/0890 and renewed SE/10/0773 - SE/10/0774 in August 2010) to remodel the existing accommodation and create a new single storey side extension providing a ground floor shower room, bedroom and sitting room.
