About
A substantial four-bedroom family home, offered in a sought-after Suffolk village and occupying a quiet position, with generous and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor provides particularly flexible accommodation, with bedroom four/study currently used as a home office but offering the option of a fourth bedroom or additional reception room.
There is a spacious living/dining room with glazed doors opening onto the rear garden, while the kitchen/breakfast room is positioned to the rear and overlooks the garden, with a range of wall and base units, good storage and work surface, together with a useful walk-in larder/utility area.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobe storage.
Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden, and also benefits from built-in storage, while bedroom three is positioned towards the front.
A generous family bathroom completes the first floor, fitted with a walk-in shower, bath, WC, bidet and wash basin, together with useful storage.
Outside, the front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature hedging, a pathway to the entrance and a substantial block-paved driveway providing parking for two vehicles.
The integral garage has power, lighting and useful loft storage. The rear garden enjoys an easterly aspect with a more open outlook to the south, a substantial paved terrace and established planting.
There is plenty of scope to adapt the garden further and increase the lawned area if desired.
