Set on an exceptionally large, elevated plot in Mendham, this detached three-bedroom bungalow provides expansive rolling-field views front and rear. The generously proportioned layout includes a large lounge with picture window and patio doors, an impressive 24 ft kitchen/diner, separate utility and boot room, plus a garage and parking — well suited to family living in a tranquil rural setting.
The property is a non-standard Guildway manufactured home from the 1960s. The owner holds original build documentation which can be provided. The bungalow benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), oil-fired central heating and private drainage; the timber-frame construction has partial insulation and may require future upgrading to meet modern standards.
Practical considerations: this type of non-standard construction can be challenging to mortgage and may deter some lenders. The house will likely suit buyers prepared to carry out selective updating and insulation improvements rather than immediate full renovation. Oil heating and private drainage are in place, but ongoing running and maintenance costs should be factored in.
For buyers seeking countryside seclusion with quick access to Harleston, Bungay and Halesworth, this home offers a rare combination of size, privacy and panoramic views. The plot and internal layout also provide scope for garden landscaping or modest extension (subject to planning), making the bungalow attractive to families seeking one-level living with strong rural character.
