Property insight
Ensum Brown are delighted to offer for sale this beautiful thatched cottage in the sought-after village of Lidgate. This stunning home enjoys a fantastic countryside location and is surprisingly not listed, enjoying period features throughout, 2 reception rooms, a kitchen, a conservatory, a downstairs bathroom, 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, a study space, an enclosed garden, and secure driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Offering great potential to extend (STPP).
This charming detached cottage is set back from the road and positioned in the centre of a good plot, with an attractive frontage, front lawn gardens, borders of hedgerows, trees and shrubs, and a front terrace with plenty of space for potted plants. Upon stepping inside, the lounge is a very eye-catching room, with windows and doors to a dual aspect, a fantastic inglenook fireplace with a double-fronted wood-burning stove, exposed beams and upstands, carpets, sconce lighting, and ample room for a variety of lounge and storage furniture. The dining room is equally a fantastic space and shares the other side of the lovely fireplace, exposed beams and upstands, sconce lighting, carpets, room for furniture, and stairs to the first floor. Double French doors lead through to a conservatory, and offering further versatile reception space which could be converted if desired.
The kitchen is a good size, benefiting from windows to a dual aspect, a range of base and wall units, laminate worktops, a butler sink, pendant lighting, laminate wood flooring, exposed beams and upstands, an integrated oven, hob and extractor, and space for a washing machine, fridge/freezer and other small kitchen appliances.
The bathroom can also be found on the ground floor, comprising a bath, a WC and a hand wash basin.
Upstairs to the first floor, this lovely home offers 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, integrated storage, and a large study area, perfect for those wishing to work from home.
Outside, to the rear, the garden is fully enclosed by fencing and hedgerows and offering a lovely space to sit and relax. It is laid entirely to gravel, with space for furniture and entertaining. There is plenty of space for potted plants or a herb garden, as well as lots of scope for new owners to transform and make their own.

Location - lidgate
Lidgate is a rural village in west Suffolk, nestled closely to the famous horse racing town of Newmarket, around 20 miles from Cambridge City Centre & 13 miles from Bury St Edmunds. Residents can access the A14 and A11 within a short drive, offering quickly accessible commutable links towards Cambridge, Ipswich and beyond. Rail travel is available from Newmarket station, just 6 miles away, which has regular services into Cambridge in around 20 minutes and onwards to London in just over an hour.
At the heart of the village stands St Mary’s Church, a beautiful historic building that offers regular services, and the village hall also hosts social gatherings, quiz nights and local group meetings. The Star at Lidgate is a well-known pub and restaurant within the village, and there are supermarkets, doctors and dentists in the nearby towns of Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds & Cambridge City.
For families, Lidgate falls within the catchment for Moulton Church of England Primary School, Cheveley Church of England Primary School and Barrow Church of England Primary School. For older children, the area is served by secondary options in Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds, including the highly regarded Bury St Edmunds County High School.
The remains of Lidgate Castle can still be seen in the village, and the surrounding countryside provides a network of footpaths and circular walks, ideal for ramblers and those who enjoy the outdoors. There is also the Lidgate & Ousden Cricket Club, as well as other groups, who meet at the village hall.
Lidgate is a wonderful choice for those seeking a quieter village lifestyle within easy reach of larger towns. We recommend a visit!
