The most important factor with any property is position and this property is situated at the end of a small no through lane (that local residents have made up) and looks out over unspoilt countryside to the rear. There are a couple of bungalows and a small farm within the road which do not detract from the privacy of the property but do not leave it totally isolated. The property is on a slight ridge so there really are panoramic views in several directions across the countryside which the large conservatory and reception rooms have the benefit of the outlook from. The house itself was built over thirty years ago and is what is known as a Colt cedar wood house. This was originally a North American company who built in a Swedish design, highly insulated timber framed houses with cedar shingles to several of the elevations and also rendered under a mansard concrete tiled roof. Cedar wood has a natural antifungicide in it and is the chosen wood for this type of building.
The accommodation offers lots of storage space, there is a sitting room with working fireplace and lovely views, the dining room again has lovely views and patio door out onto the patio and rear gardens. There is a large conservatory overlooking the countryside and a good size kitchen/breakfast room with larger than average aga which is oil fired. At first floor level there are four bedrooms, there is a good size bathroom which has been refitted, separate wc and there is a ground floor cloakroom/wc off the hall. The hall, cloakroom and conservatory floors have been laid in terracotta tiling. To the outside there are triangular gardens that are well stocked with specimen trees and shrubs bordering directly onto countryside with distant views. The windows in the main are in sealed unit double glazing, some of the internal doors have been replaced and there is oil fired central heating via radiators.
To summarise, for somebody seeking a four bedroom house in an unspoilt rural setting, tucked away yet convenient for both Diss and Bury St Edmunds, we suggest the earliest viewing to avoid disappointment.
