The Property
Entering Marsh View Farm via the five-bar gate, the main residence is set to the front of the site where we are greeted by the extensive parking area, which leads to the double-width and depth open fronted garage. Whilst access to both the front and the rear of the bungalow leads from the same. Stepping into the bungalow, the feeling of space and light that flows through the home is instantly apparent. Set to the left we find the bedrooms and cloakroom, and to the right the living areas look over the formal gardens. Stepping to the right we flow open plan into the superb living room which enjoys a triple aspect looking onto the gardens and land beyond. A feature fireplace houses the wood burner and adds a cosy focal point to this otherwise bright open room. Stepping through the hall we enter the kitchen which again enjoys a garden view and flows open plan to the dining room. the kitchen is fitted with a modern range of wall and base units that are set against contrasting work surfaces and tiled flooring. Integrated appliances and a range style cooker are found. At the rear a door opens to the large utility/laundry room which then leads into the rear entrance porch. returning to the hallway we find the spacious bathroom at the head of the hall, fitted with a modern white suite comprising a bath and separate shower we find the wash basin and w/c set to a large vanity unit. The three bedrooms are set adjacent to one another and all offer exceptional double bedroom proportions. The master is set adjacent to the bathroom, whilst bedroom two set to the middle offers a fitted wardrobe and bedroom three set to the front of the property boasts a dual aspect. The cloakroom is fitted again with modern sanitary ware with a w/c and wash basin set in a vanity unit. This completes the main accommodation.
The Annexe
Set between the main residence and the yard, workshop & stables, we find the detached annexe enjoying its own designated yet open garden plot. This brick-built bungalow offers a range of uses and is currently not registered for council tax but has been assigned a property reference number in readiness, depending on a purchasers intended use. Internally, we find a large double bedroom, bathroom and superb open plan living, dining and kitchen area. A large walk-in store room is also found off the hall, and externally, the boiler room houses the oil-fired boiler. This fantastic property would make an ideal holiday let (stpp) in delightful surroundings or simply serve as excellent secondary accommodation.
Gardens and Grounds
From the five bar gate we enter the site where the scale and potential are instantly apparent. To the front (south boundary) of the plot we find the main residence set in an acre of formal gardens, adjacent we find the double width and depth open-fronted garage. Adjacent to the garage we find one of the vehicular access points leading to the land and woodland. Following the drive toward the north of the site we pass the Annexe and continue to find the studio/office and stable block, where again vehicular access leads out to the land passing the ponds. At the foot of the drive a five bar gate opens to the yard. This area occupies approx 1 acre of the site, and we find the large workshop (1100 sq.ft) A variety of dilapidated barns/workshops remain on site, deliberately left by the vendors to maintain the footprint to aid in reconstructing these or future development potential. From the yard we again find an access point out to the land where the remaining acres boast a range of woodland surrounding the three main ponds the largest of these fed from a dyke that creates an island effect, following the walk ways through the woodland we find the land split into three main parcels, the first offers a field gate from the road for additional access, the second finds a large sited poly tunnel and the third being the largest extends to approximately 4 acres. The entire site offers superb privacy being screened with established, well-managed hedge rows whilst at the rear the boundaries remain open taking in the superb views of the Waveney valley.
