Set in a sought-after Suffolk village on Lilac Drive, this well-proportioned five-bedroom detached house offers around 2,500 sqft of versatile family accommodation. The layout includes a large living room, an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a garden room, utility room and a ground-floor bedroom that works well as a home office or guest room. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite and there is a family bathroom upstairs.
Outside, the property sits back from the road with good kerb appeal, a double garage and generous off-road parking. The rear garden is private and largely laid to lawn with a paved patio — a blank canvas for landscaping or play space. Practical positives include double glazing, oil-fired central heating and fast broadband/mobile signal suitable for home working.
Notable considerations: several first-floor rooms and the master bedroom have restricted head height due to roofline and skylights, which affects furniture placement. The heating runs from an oil-fired boiler (not a community system), so future running costs should be considered. Council tax is above average for the area. Prospective buyers are advised to commission independent surveys and service checks on appliances and systems.
This home will suit growing families who value space, parking and village amenities, plus buyers seeking easy rail links to Brandon, Norwich, Cambridge and London. The property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, making a prompt move feasible.
