A single-storey home designed for easy living, this three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a substantial plot on Mill Road, Laxfield. The property has been extensively upgraded by the current owners: 12 solar panels, a 10 kW battery, underfloor heating throughout and an air source heat pump combine to deliver very low running costs. The open-plan living room with a fitted kitchen, bi-fold doors and a 5 kW log burner opens onto wrap‑around decking with oak veranda and far-reaching farmland views.
The layout suits retirees or those looking to downsize: three double bedrooms (one with en-suite), a generous open-plan living/dining area and single-storey convenience throughout. Practical extras include a sizeable garage with electric roller door, multiple off-road parking spaces via a shared shingle driveway, water softener, and plentiful built-in storage including a partly boarded loft.
Energy efficiency is a standout selling point. The current EPC is B and the owners expect an A rating if reassessed after the solar and battery additions. Note, the property still uses an oil-fired boiler and radiators as the main heating fuel, so oil servicing and supply remain ongoing considerations despite the air source heat pump and underfloor heating system.
Practical matters to be aware of: the location is a quiet, rural lane with excellent mobile signal but slow broadband speeds, and access is along a shared driveway. The bungalow was originally constructed mid-20th century and has been modernised, so purchasers should confirm the age and warranties for recent upgrades during survey and conveyancing. Council tax is moderate and the plot is unusually large for the village, offering scope for garden projects or accessible outdoor living.
