Set in the heart of sought-after Botesdale, this detached three-bedroom bungalow sits on a rare 0.25-acre plot, quietly tucked off Bridewell Lane and within easy walking distance of village amenities. The spacious reception room with a large bay window and original open fireplace gives immediate character and a welcoming family feel. Mature, secluded gardens provide generous outdoor space for children, gardening and entertaining.
The layout is practical and adaptable: two good-sized bedrooms, a dining room that can serve as a third bedroom, kitchen/breakfast room and a useful adjacent boot/utility area. A high-pitched roof offers obvious potential for a loft conversion (subject to consents), with space in the entrance hall to accommodate a staircase if desired. A range of outbuildings, workshop and two garages add useful storage and hobby space.
There are some important practical considerations. The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has an EPC rating of E. The single bathroom and general finish are dated and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Mains drainage and double glazing are in place, but the bungalow’s mid-20th-century construction means buyers should expect typical maintenance and updating.
Overall this is a rare bungalow plot in a highly regarded village, ideal for families seeking single-level living with scope to improve and extend. The location, generous garden and outbuildings deliver long-term value for buyers willing to invest in modernisation and potential loft conversion.
