This picture-perfect thatched property is the dream countryside home for many
There are properties of all shapes and sizes up for grabs on Rightmove, with some stand-out homes that garner much more attention than others. And it is no surprise that this pretty pink house has proved to be a hit on the property site.
Looking like something straight out of a fairy tale, this gorgeous thatched farmhouse is amongst the quirky properties up for sale right now. The three-bed detached house, which is Grade II listed, sits in the rural village of Bacton in Suffolk.
Listed for sale at offers in excess of £650,000, the countryside cottage is a dream home for many, so much so that Rightmove featured it as their recent ‘property of the week’.
The picture-perfect property has the ultimate kerb appeal, with its striking pink exterior and thatched roof. It sits on just under half an acre of land surrounded by beautiful countryside views.
Inside, it is like stepping back in time. The house, which dates back to as far as 1485, has kept its historic charm whilst being updated with modern amenities.
It features a solid wood farmhouse-style kitchen, bright and spacious breakfast room and pantry on the ground floor, as well as three further living rooms and an attractive garden spanning 0.4 acres.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, as well as a modern family bathroom.
Only two of the rooms – two bedrooms – are decorated pink, with the rest of the house fitting a classic and neutral interior style featuring exposed wooden beams in most rooms.
Outside there is also a detached garage, a two-room outbuilding and lots of off-road parking.
Estate agents Exquisite Home, who are marketing the house, say: “This picture-perfect, thatched Grade II-listed farmhouse, dating back to 1485, beautifully combines historic charm with modern comforts.
“Set in approximately 0.40 acres in the heart of Bacton, the property features three characterful bedrooms, a well-appointed solid wood kitchen with an AGA, and a spacious driveway. Additional features include a useful two-room outbuilding and a detached garage.
“Bacton itself offers excellent local amenities, including a Post Office, village stores, a petrol garage, and the welcoming 16th-century Bull Inn.”
The listing continued: “Just two miles away, Finbows Yard hosts independent businesses, antique shops, and the House of Suffolk distillery, renowned for Betty´s Gin.
“Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Bacton provides easy access to nearby market towns and transport links, making it an appealing location for those seeking a balance of community and rural living.”
Rightmove shared the unique listing on its Facebook page, which has more than 320,000 followers, with the caption: “On Wednesday, we choose pink homes.”
It sparked a flurry of comments, with Danielle Rose writing: “I want it x,” as Cathy Miles said: “Wow! That’s so me!,” and Hannah Stephens added: “This is my favourite.”
Faye Eckersley commented: “Love this. So unique,” as Brendamagot Thompson wrote: “Love it. Looks like a little dolls house.”
