Summary - 4 SOUTHGATE HARLESTON IP20 9JR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large detached family home with garden, double garage and historic dovecot in Harleston cul-de-sac.
Large detached family house, built 2000
This well-presented detached house occupies a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Harleston and offers generous family accommodation across two floors. Built in 2000 and maintained to a high standard, the house combines contemporary living spaces — including a double-aspect sitting room, separate dining room and a triple-aspect breakfast kitchen with granite worktops — that work very well for day-to-day family life and entertaining.
The principal bedroom benefits from two double fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room; three further bedrooms also have fitted storage. A double garage with boarded loft space, utility, garden/boot room and driveway for three cars add practical storage and parking. The established wraparound gardens, greenhouse and well-stocked borders are a standout feature for anyone who values outside space and privacy.
A distinctive Grade II listed dovecot sits on the fore of the plot and adds historic character and rarity, currently used for storage. Prospective buyers should note that the dovecot’s listed status may impose restrictions and could complicate alterations or redevelopment of that part of the site. Practical negatives to consider are slow broadband speeds in the area and an expensive council tax band.
Overall this is a spacious, versatile family home in an affluent, semi-rural market town with good local schools and amenities. It will suit buyers seeking roomy, low-maintenance family accommodation with strong entertaining space and mature gardens, provided they are comfortable with the listed dovecot constraints and local service limitations.
