Two steps take you down to a gorgeous bathroom with the feature clawfoot bath sitting below the window, a chic Burlington wash basin, and the WC.

BEDROOM THREE
Step down to this cosy room where the double bed (190cm x 120cm so shorter than a standard double and more suited to two children than adults - hence the property sleeping 6 not 7) sits under the window overlooking the garden. There’s a built-in wardrobe and a leather inlayed desk which could be used as a dressing table with its chair.

BEDROOM FOUR
Sitting at the front of the house, the standard double 4’6” bed (135cm x 190cm) is tucked into one side of this pretty smoky pink room which has a chair in the corner and storage in a built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers.

OUTSIDE
You’ll find roadside parking directly at the front of the house for two cars and there’s a lay-by close by for additional cars.
At the back is a fully enclosed garden, mostly laid to lawn surrounded by well-established trees, fruit trees, and shrubs with a spacious patio area for outside dining, and a path to the side of the house where’s there’s a small covered area where you could store bikes if you’re enjoying the fantastic Suffolk cycle routes. The locked gate from the path leads to the road so be particularly careful with children.
