Quietly set on Vicarage Lane in Mettingham, this attractive three-bedroom semi offers generous, flexible family accommodation across two floors. The house features three reception rooms — living, dining and a bright sitting room that looks out over the private garden — plus a useful study/office and a separate utility room. Off-street parking and a large plot give space for outdoor living and potential landscaping.
The property’s character is clear: period brick construction with a chimney and traditional proportions, double glazing fitted since 2002, and original features such as built-in wardrobes and a wood-burner in the living room. Practical elements include a ground-floor shower room, a first-floor family bathroom and an oil-fired boiler with radiators. Broadband speeds are reported fast, suitable for home working or streaming, despite the rural setting.
Buyers should note a few material points: the walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, and heating runs on oil rather than mains gas — these factors can influence running costs and future upgrade work. The house pre-dates 1900, so a full survey is recommended to check services and fabric before purchase. The location is peaceful and remoter, a short drive from Bungay for shops and schools but less convenient for frequent public transport users.
Overall this is a comfortable family home for those seeking countryside living with good internal space, a large garden and versatile reception rooms. It will particularly suit families or buyers wanting a rural base with scope to modernise heating and insulation over time.
