4 bedroom house

Location It is an over used phrase but 'Location Location Location' springs to mind when considering this property. It is set in an acre in the middle of 70 acres of woodland (owned by the Forestry Commission) and it's a truly magical setting, described by many visitors as an oasis. There is no name plate on the road and few people know it exists which is part of its beauty. Whilst having this rural location, and being well away from neighbours, it is easily accessible to a number of the towns; Diss is 7 miles which has a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street, Bury St Edmunds is 17 miles and Norwich 28 miles. The A11 is just 9 miles away via Thetford and gives a swift route to Newmarket, Cambridge and the A14 corridor. For those who enjoy the coast, Burnham Market to the north and Southwold to the east are both within an hours drive.

For seclusion but access to facilities, this location is ideal. 

The Property The property started its life around 1840 as a small gamekeepers cottage and was extended in the 1990's to create the much larger house that we see today. The work was done to a high standard by a reputable local builder and has stood the test of time very well. The current owners have undertaken a sensitive scheme of updating and extension to bring some contemporary elements to the house with modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, as well as a complete redecoration. It is ideal for a family who require space and has an annex wing, perfect for the elderly relative or teenager alike. Additionally, given there are so many people looking to work from home, the annex could be used as a home office however, there is already a separate garden room in one of the outbuildings which would be ideal and enjoys views into the garden. 

Outside The grounds are an absolute delight with the house set centrally to its 1 acre plot. The gardens have been designed to give year round colour following the seasons and there are a great many specimen trees and shrubs. Hard landscaping including brick patios and paths give structure and there is a productive vegetable area with a Victorian style greenhouse built against a wall. The gardens need to be viewed to be fully appreciate and despite being in the centre of a wood, the house and grounds are not hemmed in nor dark. 

Outbuildings There are various outbuildings including a double garage (one used as stable), domestic stores and a garden room which is ideal as a home office. 

Services Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Private drainage. Oil fired boiler providing heating to radiators and domestic hot water.
