A thatched cottage with its own swimming pool is on the market in a sought-after Suffolk village.

The Grade II listed property in Higham is believed to date back to the 16th century and is bursting with original features like a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.

To one side of the garden is a raised heated swimming pool with cover offering a fun activity in summer.

The character of the cottage continues once inside with the sitting room described as a charismatic room in which to relax and entertain and has an inset wood burner and inglenook fireplace offering ambience during cooler months.

There is a secondary reception room which was opened up by the current owner but this can be enclosed again to create a second bedroom.
