A further door opens into the hallway with stairs rising to the first floor accommodation with storage under. To the left hand side is a shower room comprising a fully tiled shower cubicle, WC and wash basin set in a vanity unit as well as a heated towel rail. Back into the hall a door opens in the bright and spacious sitting room, this room is 'L' shaped and double aspect overlooking the front and side and a door leading into the kitchen which can also be accessed from the sun room. The kitchen overlooks the side and is well fitted with a matching range of wall, base and drawer units, ample work top space, a 1 ½ bowl ceramic sink and drainer and space for appliances and opens into the dining/morning room. This room has double doors opening onto a paved terrace to the rear, windows to either side, ceiling timbers, an attractive wooden floor and a wonderful brick fireplace with fitted wood burning stove.
From the hallway stairs lead up to the first floor landing with doors to the bedrooms which are all doubles and the bathroom. The spacious master bedroom is triple aspect with lovely views across the garden. Bedroom two overlooks the fishing lake and has a door into an eaves room with a window to the side and which is currently used for storage. The third bedroom also has lovely views across the fishing lake and a built-in linen cupboard. The bathroom completes the accommodation and comprises a bath with shower over, WC, wash basin set in a vanity unit and a heated towel rail.
Outside
The property is accessed down a lane which leads to Waveney Valley Fishing Lakes. A timber five bar gate open onto an extensive gravelled parking area and the detached garage with further attached outbuildings currently used as a garden store and general storage. The attractive gardens and grounds extend to approximately one acre (sts) and surround the property, offering peace and seclusion and a haven for birds and wildlife. The majority of the gardens are laid to lawn with a paved seating area, an ideal spot for outside dining in the summer months. There are a number of timber outbuildings including a workshop with power connected and a summerhouse. Just across from the property there is a useful detached utility/laundry room with a stainless steel sink and plumbing for a washing machine.
