Blyford Lane, Wenhaston, Halesworth, Suffolk, IP19

This Grade II listed home offers a wealth of character and comes with its own two-and-a-half-acre wildlife haven with waterways.

This pretty terrace home would make a great bolthole on the Heritage Coast positioned within easy reach of Southwold, Dunwich and Walberswick.

The wildlife haven is a stunning place to spend time in nature, and is much admired, having been visited by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust who were very complimentary.

To access the reserve, to the side of the row of cottages is a track which takes you to a garage and parking area. A path beyond leads down to the site, which has been carefully curated by the vendor to develop areas suitable to attract local wildlife. There has been good success, as the site is visited by Kingfishers, Nightingales, Kestrels, Spotted Fly Catchers, and Grey Wagtails all nesting, as well as Fox, Deer, Stoat and Weasel, many Butterflies and Moths.

There is a bore hole on the site which can be used to top up with level of the lake via a generator which could be left by further negotiation.

The plot stretches around a lake with ponds and streams. The lake has Stickle back fish and small Rudd serving as food for the Kingfishers, Herons, and Egrets. It is also a breeding site for frogs and newts. There is a pedestrian bridge over the lake set to the far end with a path leading around the site.

To the other end there is a gate giving access to the road along with an area of grass with greenhouses. The vendor is in the process of creating a 'labyrinth' with hedging to keep the deer and rabbits at bay protecting hundreds of bulbs and wildflowers. A stump in the middle is positioned for Buzzards and Owls and is set up in front of a hide for those interested in photography.

We have been informed that there is potential here for an owner to position a non-permanent structure, perhaps a traditional Romany Caravan, on site for holiday makers interested in being close to nature for a limited number of nights per year.

The cottage itself offers a well-proportioned lounge with a log burner set into the fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is at the rear of the property and offers space for a table and chairs along with a range of white fronted base and eye level units with a built-in electric oven, hob and plumbing for a washing machine. The ground floor also has a study that could be used as a single bedroom, and this is served by the ground floor shower room set off the kitchen.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms along with the family bathroom. Offering plenty of exposed timbers, it is easy to appreciate why the property is Grade II listed as it has character in abundance.

Outside, there is a pretty courtyard garden set for easy maintenance with a side access gate leading to the road. Perfect for both full-time living or for those looking for a charming “lock up and leave”, viewing is advised.
