About
Centrally located within the village, the property is set back from the road in a prominent position.
Thorndon has over the years proved to be a popular and much sought after village found on the north Suffolk borders and within close proximity of the beautiful countryside surrounding the Waveney Valley.
The village offers a lovely assortment of many period and modern properties whilst still retaining good amenities by way of having a public house, shop, mobile post office, schooling and fine church, (also being within the Hartismere school catchment area).
The historic market towns of Diss and Eye are within close proximity, (Eye being 4 miles to the north and Diss respectively 7 miles further) both offering an extensive range of amenities and facilities and with the market town of Diss having a mainline railway station with regular/direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.
This attractive detached family home offers over 1,700sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation, combining spacious living areas with modern improvements and excellent energy efficiency benefits.
Constructed of traditional brick and block under a pitched roof, the property benefits from double glazed windows throughout and is heated via an oil-fired central heating system serving radiators.
Upon entry to the property you’re greeted into a welcoming entrance hallway that features attractive parquet flooring.
The generous 22'3" x 13'1" lounge provides an excellent principal reception space, ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.
The current owners have significantly enhanced the property by installing a stylish new kitchen and opening it through into the dining room, creating a superb open-plan kitchen/dining area that forms the heart of the home.
A separate utility room offers space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, while a further dual-aspect reception room enjoys an abundance of natural light, providing a versatile space for use as a family room, playroom, or home office.
A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor, the property continues to impress with four double bedrooms, including a generously sized principal bedroom served by an en suite shower room.
The remaining bedrooms are complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Externally, the property benefits from the addition of 16 solar panels, which are subject to a feed-in tariff and generated in excess of £600 during the last calendar year, providing an attractive supplementary income and enhancing the home's energy credentials.
Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.33 acres, this attractive home is set well back from the road behind charming picket fencing, creating an appealing first impression with its leafy green approach.
The property enjoys a generous frontage with a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles.
The driveway leads to a detached garage measuring 20'3" x 16'2", equipped with both power and lighting, making it ideal for vehicle storage, a workshop, or additional hobby space.
Attached to the rear of the garage is a useful shed/storage area.
The rear garden has been significantly enhanced by the current owners, who have undertaken extensive landscaping works to create an attractive outdoor space.
Enclosed by new fencing, the garden offers a secure and private environment for families and entertaining.
A stylish porcelain-tiled patio extends across the rear of the property, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Further complementing the outside space is an impressive insulated summer house, complete with double glazed windows and doors, together with power and lighting, offering a versatile space that could be utilised as a home office, studio, gym, or garden retreat.
