About
Well located within Brockdish, the property enjoys a superb position, tucked away behind the building line in a secluded and tranquil situation backing onto the rural countryside.
This traditional village is situated in a rural but yet not isolated location having been bypassed a number of years ago and found on the north Suffolk borders within the beautiful and undulating countryside running through the Waveney Valley.
Over the years the village has proved to have been a popular and sought after location offering an attractive assortment of many period and modern properties whilst still retaining a strong and active local community with the benefit of a well regarded public house, fine church and transport links.
A more extensive range of amenities and facilities can be found within the market town of Diss lying some six miles to the west with the benefit of a mainline railway station with regular/direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.
Additionally Harleston is within short proximity lying three miles to the north east.
The property comprises a substantial three-bedroom detached house, offering versatile living space in the region of 1,680 sq ft.
Heating is provided by an oil-fired central heating boiler, with the added benefit of two air conditioning units located in the bedroom and main reception room.
Additionally, the property features 12 solar panels which are owned outright; these benefit from a feed-in tariff providing reduced rates and a quarterly payment, alongside a solar pv panel for hot water top-up.
Drainage is via a modern treatment plant installed approximately 15 years ago. The accommodation is well-laid out with well-proportioned rooms, all flooded with plenty of natural light.
The ground floor offers versatile living space, including a large bedroom with the luxury of en-suite facilities.
The reception room is most generously sized, featuring a fireplace with an inset cast iron stove.
To the opposite side of the room, sliding doors give access to the conservatory extension, offering delightful and private views over the gardens.
A kitchen/breakfast room is found to the rear of the property; this has been replaced in recent years and benefits from a good range of storage cupboards with the expected integrated appliances.
Beyond the kitchen is a side porch with WC facilities. To the front of the property, there is a formal entrance hall and an office/study.
On the first floor, a well-sized landing gives access to two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, the latter being well-equipped with both a shower and a bath.
The property boasts a delightful setting, with mature grounds extending to 1.28 acres within the valley, situated on the site of a former quarry.
The bungalow is centrally positioned within its plot, featuring formal gardens that wrap around the residence.
To the northern and western boundaries, the gardens bank upwards into established woodland; this elevation provides stunning views over the grounds and the farmland beyond.
The property benefits from a substantial range of outbuildings, including a triple garage and workshop, alongside two further outbuildings offering plenty of storage space.
Upon approach, access is provided via a part-shared driveway (connected to Willowbrook House).
