Set at the western end of Friston village, this spacious four-bedroom detached home sits in large private gardens with ample off-road parking and external storage. The house has been much improved by the current owners and offers flexible family accommodation over two floors, including a refitted kitchen, study and utility room for everyday living. French doors from the sitting room, kitchen and a ground-floor bedroom open onto a paved patio and lawned gardens, making indoor–outdoor family life straightforward.
The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and countryside views, and there are two further double bedrooms plus a family bathroom. Practical features include double glazing installed after 2002, oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a useful workshop/large shed. The property’s layout and plot size provide scope to personalise or extend, subject to planning, if a growing family needs more space.
Buyers should note some important practical downsides: the EPC rating is E and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which will affect running costs; heating is by individual oil boiler rather than gas. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and mobile signal is average. There are proposed infrastructure projects for the East Suffolk coast (including Sizewell developments and associated onshore cabling) which may affect Friston — prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on the likely impact.
Overall, this is a well-presented, characterful family home in a peaceful rural setting with immediate outdoor space and local access to Aldeburgh, Snape and the Suffolk Heritage Coast. It will suit buyers seeking a comfortable village base with room to adapt, while those prioritising lower energy bills or high-speed connectivity should factor refurbishment or upgrades into their plans.
