Yahoo News House tour: Suffolk cottage that once featured in Harry Potter for sale
A characterful 16th century cottage, nestled on one of Suffolk's most photographed streets, has just entered the property market.
You may notice the cottage and surrounding area from a number of films and television shows, including, most notably, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when it was part of the fictional town of Godric's Hollow.
Box Cottage is jam-packed with history and traditional features, including the exterior jettied timber frame and use of wooden beams throughout.
Upon entering the home, you immediately find yourself in a sizeable entrance hall which leads you into a large sitting room to the right, as well as a bright, modern kitchen. As is displayed in the clean, white kitchen accented with gold fixtures, the cottage seamlessly blends its historic charm with more modern features. This is also exhibited in the mid-20th century extension that has been added to the rear.
On this floor there is also a WC, light-filled garden/sun room (which currently houses additional storage space in the form of wraparound cabinetry), and a practical separate laundry area.
Upstairs, you'll find each of the property's three bedrooms, with more historic beams, as well as a family bathroom.
Double doors lead you into a spacious enclosed garden, with plenty of space to sit outside and dine alfresco with a tasty tipple. There's also an attached outbuilding which can be accessed directly from the garden for even more space.
The village of Lavenham, where the cottage is situated, is often referred to as England’s finest preserved medieval village, with it having a great range of amenities close by. You’ll find everything from a parish church to shops, renowned village inns and more. Further afield are the nearby market towns of Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds and Hadleigh, which are also easily accessible.
The property is currently on the market for £495,000 via Carter Jonas.
