About this property
Thatch Cottage is a remarkable period home with a rich and varied history. During the Second World War it served as an American Officers' residence, with local telegraph runners carrying messages between the cottage and Woodbridge Airbase.
In earlier years, the property was home to both a village bakery and fish and chip shop, with today's sunroom and library once serving customers. Lovingly owned since 1985, the cottage includes handcrafted windows designed by a local carpenter to reflect the mullioned windows that would have been fitted in 1650, and brick flooring, creating a home that beautifully honours its past while offering comfort and creativity.
