Tucked at the end of a private road, this modern three-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot with uninterrupted rural views towards Eye. Built to a near passive-house standard, it combines low-energy systems—air source heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and rainwater harvesting—to cut heating and water costs while delivering comfortable, well-insulated living.
The ground floor layout offers flexibility: a reception room that can serve as a bedroom with an adjacent shower room, plus a bright living room with oak floors and an inglenook-style fireplace. The kitchen/dining room is well proportioned with quartz worktops and views over the rear hedge. Upstairs there are three generous bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite to the principal bedroom.
Practical strengths include a side garage with parking, double glazing, hardwired cabling (Ethernet Cat5a, Sky provision) and below-ground rainwater storage. The village location is discreet yet within reach of local amenities, a primary school, pub and bus links; Diss and Stowmarket rail links are accessible for longer commutes.
Buyers should note the property’s specialist services need regular maintenance; the mechanical ventilation, ASHP and underground rainwater tank are efficient but require competent servicing. Running costs will depend on electricity tariffs. The area is rural and quieter than urban locations, with average mobile and broadband speeds and higher-than-average council tax.
