3 bedroom house

Location This property is set on the outskirts of the pretty and semi-rural village of Finningham. Countryside walks are on your doorstep and these meander throughout the village with the small River Dove passing through. Within the village is The White Horse public house and a health centre with 'Finbow's Yard' offering café and shops, along with a well-stocked village store set approximately 2 miles distant in the nearby village of Bacton. The well served town of Stowmarket is approximately 8 miles away offering a full range of everyday amenities and mainline railway station with regular links to London Liverpool Street. Nearby towns such as, Diss, Bury St Edmunds and Needham Market offer a further range of everyday amenities, recreational and cultural facilities along with schooling. There are good road links to the A143 and A140 linking to the A14.  

The Property Built in the 1950s as a farmworker's house, Wind Chimes was refurbished and extended by the current owners to create a light and airy residence with generously proportioned rooms. The sitting room has a double aspect with feature fireplace and woodburning stove inset while the dining room faces south, enjoying views over the front garden. The impressive, triple-aspect vaulted kitchen/breakfast room wins our vote. It offers a good number of units topped with granite work surfaces which incorporate an integrated dishwasher, an induction hob and electric split level oven. This room also has the bonus of underfloor heating. Leading off is a very practical utility/boot room with store cupboard and after a busy day in the garden there is the benefit of a shower room off the main hallway. Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms, the main bedroom having a capacious ensuite with bath and shower, wc and two sinks. A family bathroom completes the layout. There is ample scope to reconfigure the accommodation to create a four bedroom house given the generous footprint. 

Outside The property is approached from the road via a pair of wooden gates which open onto a gravelled driveway which sweeps up and to the side of the house to a double garage. There is an ornamental pond in the front garden. Attached to the side of the house is a workshop and there are a number of small outbuildings including a summerhouse in the rear garden, orchard and woodland beyond. Overall the grounds extend to around 1.2 acres (STS). 

Services Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Oil fired central heating. Private drainage (STP).
