4 bedroom house

THE LOCATION

The property is set along a quiet country lane which was once the main road but the B1078 was re-routed and it now sees very little traffic. It contains a scattering of houses and cottages of all ages and this property has open fields opposite and behind the adjoining garden. There is a good local community in Nedging and Naughton with working farms, two churches and a village hall, with local playing field and children's play area. There are many local activities including harvest festival supper, charity coffee mornings, indoor curling, quiz nights, wine tasting, a spring fair, and the Women's Institute. The nearby village of Bildeston, around 2 miles away, provides good local shopping and an excellent primary school. The main facilities will be found in Hadleigh, around 5 miles away, which is a thriving market town with main supermarkets and all sorts of interesting shops, restaurants, and pubs. There are further facilities in Stowmarket to the north (good rail links to London's Liverpool Street) and Sudbury to the south west. The surrounding area is some of the loveliest countryside in the east of England with many other historic medieval villages such as Lavenham.

THE PROPERTY

Hawthorns is built of traditional cavity brick under a tiled roof with modern uPVC double glazed windows, many with leaded light panes. It has been the subject of major renovation and updating in the last couple of years and is now superbly presented inside and out. There is an outstanding fitted kitchen, two very well appointed new bathrooms (one upstairs and one downstairs) and there is the extensive use of oak joinery with oak doors, engineered and solid oak flooring etc. There is an outstanding all glass conservatory and the house has an unusually wrap around new patio to take advantage of the westerly views out into the garden.  

There is an impressive drive with mature hedge providing plenty of parking and a substantial detached double cart lodge. The gardens are laid out with sweeping lawns and numerous specimen trees, in all around 0.35 acres.
