STEP OUTSIDE

The sitting room has a wood burning stove as the focal point which is perfect for cosy winter evenings and there are double doors that lead out into the garden and onto the patio area. In the summer months it is lovely to have the doors open and for children to play both inside and out or for having plenty of space to entertain guests for a barbeque or summer party. The accommodation on the ground floor is completed with a useful study that is an ideal retreat to work from home or for children to do their homework. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are of generous sizes, three of which overlook the rear garden and the fields beyond whilst the master bedroom has views to the front. There is also a spacious landing that the current owners have enjoyed using as space in itself.

The garden is secluded and private and is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and a hedging border. There is plenty of space for children to run and play and the decking area is perfect for relaxing on summer evenings. The current owners have loved spending time in the garden, ‘It is not overlooked and gets plenty of sun in the spring-autumn months.’ At the front of the property, the cottage is approached from the road along a track which serves one other property and there is a gravel driveway which provides parking for several cars.

The cottage is also in an ideal position on the edge of Mellis Common, a 230 acre historic Common that has remained unchanged for centuries. It is a beautiful haven for wildlife and wildflowers and there are many trails and tracks to be explored. Mellis itself is a popular north Suffolk village and the current owners have loved living in the village, ‘We love Mellis and hope to stay here! The Common is fantastic and there is only a short walk across it to the school.’ There is also a lively pub that is the hub of the community, the mill shop and lots of local clubs and sports to join in with if you wish. Diss and Eye are also nearby for a wider range of amenities and services.
