Otley, IP6 9NS

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a charming two-bedroom timber-framed cottage tucked away in the heart of the sought-after village of Otley. Set within a plot of approximately one third of an acre (subject to survey), ‘Hope Cottage’ enjoys uninterrupted field views to both the front and rear, offering a wonderfully rural and tranquil setting. Brimming with character, the cottage features exposed beams and stable-latch doors. While the property would benefit from updating and modernisation, it presents exceptional potential, with ample scope to extend or develop (subject to planning permission), making it an exciting prospect for those wishing to create a bespoke village home. The garden wraps around the cottage, with the property positioned towards the front of the plot and the rear garden extending to over 100ft (subject to survey). To the side, a shingle driveway provides generous off-road parking for three to four cars, enhancing both practicality and convenience. The accommodation comprises a 24ft open plan lounge/dining room with multi-fuel burner, a kitchen, ground floor wet room, and on the first floor are two double bedrooms. Otley is a rural Suffolk village situated around 7 miles from Woodbridge and 8 miles to the North of Ipswich. It holds a typical village feel and great community spirit with numerous local interest groups meeting at the village hall or the White Hart pub. It is the home of Otley College which offers vocationally focused courses in several different areas. Further educational facilities include Otley Primary school, and the local St Mary’s Church. There is a handy village convenience store which also doubles as a Post Office and is locally run. The White Hart pub serves good food and local beer and there are bus links to other local villages and the towns of Framlingham and Ipswich. There is an excellent doctor’s surgery managed by the Debenham Group Practice. Otley is the birthplace of Roger Osborne who scored the only goal of the game in the 1978 FA Cup final for Ipswich VS Arsenal.
