With all the benefits of life in a rural village but easy access to the coast and to day-to-day amenities, this is a package sure to appeal to many purchasers. A Rare Opportunity This property is one of a small group of homes built by Brian Sabberton Limited, a family run firm that’s been creating high spec properties since 1964 and over that time has earned a reputation for quality and workmanship. The builder is award- winning and has been given the NHBC’s Pride in the Job award on occasion. So well-finished and thoughtfully designed, it’s no wonder this property was in the same ownership for 20 years. While the owner was working in London, this was the perfect ‘lock up and leave’, a place where she could return for relaxing weekends and host family to stay. Extensive use of wood and exposed brick gives it real warmth and adds character to the rooms, enhancing the appeal of this desirable property. Light And Uplifting The whole house gives you this wonderful sense of light and openness and the flow works very well. The generous sitting room has double doors leading out onto the sunny sheltered courtyard and also has a log burner set into an exposed brick chimneybreast, so it’s lovely and cosy in winter. The room is part open to the dining room, again having double doors, which in turn leads to the kitchen, so the set up would work well for sociable couples or families alike. Upstairs, the galleried landing gives a great feeling of space that sets the tone for the three good-sized bedrooms, all with built-in storage. It’s clear that thought has gone into the layout and it’s a house both practical and attractive. The loft has been partially boarded out and also offers plenty of storage with excellent head height, so there may be further potential here. An Area In Demand Step outside and the rear courtyard is a real suntrap and very low maintenance. You’re lovely and private here, tucked away and sheltered from any winds. There’s a further area of courtyard to the front, so you can follow the sun around throughout the day. The garage is also well proportioned, with room for a workshop should you so desire. This is a quiet close with no passing traffic and fields to the rear, so it’s nice and peaceful. Beyond the road, the village awaits. Thanks to its convenient location between Beccles and the coast, it’s very much in demand. You’re near the A146 so getting out and about is very straightforward but you don’t get noise from the road. The village also has a school, playing field, pub, church, garden centre and café, so there’s plenty happening here for all ages. You can head to Southwold for seaside family fun, take a boat out on the Broads or explore the wildlife at the various nearby nature reserves. This really is a location where there’s something for everyone.
