Occupying a wonderful position within the sought-after village of Surlingham, this much-loved family home has been carefully maintained and improved by the current owners over several decades. Set within a remarkable plot approaching a quarter of an acre (stms), the property boasts a beautifully established rear garden extending to approximately 165ft (stms), backing onto open fields and enjoying an exceptional degree of privacy.
The accommodation has evolved to suit modern family living whilst retaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home is a stylish contemporary kitchen/dining room, finished with sleek high-gloss cabinetry and offering ample space for everyday dining. Attractive views over the front garden create a pleasant backdrop, whilst the adjoining conservatory provides additional reception and dining space, allowing the garden to become a natural extension of the home. A practical utility room sits beyond, ensuring day-to-day functionality.
The sitting room offers a cosy yet spacious environment in which to relax, benefiting from excellent natural light and a comfortable layout ideal for both family life and entertaining. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor are three bedrooms together with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, whilst the remaining bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families, home working or guest accommodation.
Outside, the grounds are a particular feature of the property. Both the front and rear gardens have been meticulously cared for, creating a wonderful setting that will appeal to keen gardeners and those seeking outdoor space alike. The substantial rear garden incorporates extensive lawns, mature planting, productive vegetable growing areas and a delightful outlook across neighbouring grazing land where sheep can often be seen. The result is a peaceful and ever-changing backdrop rarely found within a village setting.
Further enhancing the property's appeal is a substantial detached tandem garage and workshop measuring in excess of 34ft in length, offering excellent storage, workshop space or potential for a variety of hobbies. In addition, a detached studio with power and lighting provides a highly versatile space that could serve as a home office, hobby room, garden retreat or additional reception area depending upon individual requirements.
A generous driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, making the property equally practical as it is attractive. Constructed with a timber frame and attractive external cladding to the first floor, the property has been successfully enjoyed as a family home for many years and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home combining generous outdoor space, versatile outbuildings and a highly desirable village location.
