Luxurious Restored Period Cottage in Historic Lavenham

Built of soft Suffolk red brick in 1835 to house wool workers, this home has seasoned wood floors and exposed-beam ceilings. Each spacious bedroom has both a TV and an en suite. The cottage is conveniently located to explore Lavenham, Suffolk's prettiest wool town with its winding streets, timber-framed buildings and quaint cottages. Lavenham is considered to be England's finest and most well-preserved medieval towns. Built in 1835 by Thomas Turner, the village's master woolstapler for his workers, the cottage was built with traditional Suffolk soft red brick. It has been extensively renovated with a bright interior and surprisingly large rooms. At the front entrance of the house there is a Masterlock key box, for which a code will be provided. I am available to assist you with any queries via email. An emergency telephone number will also be provided.

It also boasts an unparalleled selection of houses and cottages, dating from Tudor timber buildings through the Georgian period to the Victorian era.
