This really is one of the best DUAL GENERATION residences we had the pleasure to offer in recent times. The property comprises a four bedroom detached house set in private gardens of approximately one third of an acre (sts), built in the 1970’s of traditional brick and block cavity wall construction under an interlocking tiled roof and over the last couple of years having undergone a significant upgrading programme with the provision of a COMPLETELY SELF-CONTAINED LUXURY ANNEXE; all the annexe being completely at ground floor level. Alternatively the annexe could be used as a home office. There is oil fired central heating via radiators with the boiler having recently been replaced and there is cavity wall insulation as well as extensive loft insulation.
The property stands back from the common off a private driveway in a slightly elevated “tucked away” position, enjoying privacy and seclusion but not total isolation. There are period properties close by making a particularly pleasing backdrop.
The main house offers a large main reception room (26’5” x 19’11” narrowing to 13’7”) as well as an excellent kitchen/dining room, which has recently been refitted and at first floor level there are four bedrooms with an ensuite facility. The annexe offers completely self-contained ground floor accommodation including a main reception room, kitchen, bedroom and ensuite shower room.
The house offers a pleasing first impression with a good size sun loggia to the front and a good size reception hall with stairway in mahogany to the first floor. There is a working fireplace to the main reception room which has large windows from ceiling to floor giving a pleasant aspect both to the front and rear. Many of the internal doors have been replaced with natural wood doors and there is a good provision of storage space. The property offers approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of accommodation, measured internally at floor level.
Stuston is a small village set round a good size common located just to the south-east of Diss. The village was by-passed a number of years ago and now is a tranquil back water convenient for Diss with a pleasant mixture of period properties and some imposing modern properties and has the benefit of a farm shop within the village. The golf course is close to hand and the setting is a very mature pleasant setting. Diss is a mile or two away with an excellent range of facilities giving a large range of shopping, professional services and mainline railway station giving fast access (one hour and twenty minutes) to Liverpool Street, London.
Again, we would stress this is one of the best annexes we have seen, ideal for dual generation occupation where somebody using the annexe does not need to use stairs.

Both the annexe and the main property have pitched roofs. There is a lawned area to either side of the driveway with nectarine, plum, apricot trees etc. There is a raised terraced area outside the main reception room with steps down onto the lawn and further steps leading up to the sun loggia and steps up to the annexe. To the rear the gardens enjoy considerable privacy. Between the utility room and the rear annexe double doors there is a terraced area of natural stone with central planter with ornamental Bay Tree.
