Orchard House is an individually built five-bedroom detached home set on a substantial plot approaching 0.4 acre, backing directly onto open countryside. The house offers flexible family living with four reception rooms — including a bright garden/family room — a well-equipped kitchen with island and integrated appliances, plus a useful utility and cloakroom. The principal bedroom and two further bedrooms benefit from built-in storage and two en-suite shower rooms, supporting comfortable family life or guest accommodation.
Outside, the property features a gated gravel driveway with ample parking and a detached double garage with power and lighting. The rear garden is expansive and private, with paved terraces, raised shrub beds and uninterrupted countryside views — a strong draw for buyers seeking outdoor space, privacy and a rural outlook. The village setting provides a peaceful location while larger services and Stowmarket mainline station are within easy reach.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the home is freehold, connected to mains services, has no identified flood risk and sits in Council Tax Band G (noted as relatively expensive). The EPC is rated D. Broadband and mobile signals are average in the area. Buyers seeking a fully modernised, low-running-cost home should allow for the EPC rating and tax band when budgeting, though the property’s size, plot and layout present good long-term family potential.
This house will suit a family or buyers wanting countryside living with space for hobbies, home-working or entertaining. It’s a largely turn-key family home in a tranquil village location, but buyers should be aware of running costs and the EPC rating when assessing value.
