Ashfield Road, Norton

Well presented detached 5 bedroom family home affording wonderful countryside views!

With origins dating back to around one hundred years ago and greatly improved and extended in more recent years for the current owners, this individual and much loved detached house, provides a surprising level of light and airy accommodation extending to approximately 2100 sqft, enjoying incredible countryside views to the rear, whilst situated in a semi-rural setting, on the outskirts of this popular and well served Suffolk village.

The house includes two driveways leading to a large integral double garage with utility, which may provide scope for conversion into an annexe /extra accommodation if desired (subject of course to the necessary planning permissions and building regulation approval).

The accommodation currently in brief comprises an entrance hall with staircase rising to first floor. The sitting room is a comfortable reception room for relaxing with wood burning stove and window to front. From this room leads to the separate dining room (with potential to be incorporated to form a "live in" kitchen/dining room) and having double doors opening to the conservatory, enjoying views of the gardens and countryside.

The well equipped kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units providing plenty of drawer and cupboard space complemented by integrated appliances including an electric hob, double oven and dishwasher. From this room leads to the side hall which gives access to the front and rear, utility/cloakroom and double garaging.

Stairs lead from the entrance hall to the first floor landing providing access to the five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly large dual aspect bedroom affording wonderful countryside views and complemented by the modern en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower enclosure. All of the four remaining bedrooms offer great views and are served by the family bathroom with bath and separate shower, completing the first floor accommodation.

Outside - Outside, the property is approached via two driveways providing ample off road parking and access to the integral double garaging with electric door. The remainder of the front has a mature high hedge with personal gate and a path leading through the front wildflower garden.

The rear gardens have mostly been nurtured with wildlife in mind. There is both a cooking apple and an eating apple tree and two wildlife ponds that attract frogs, newts and hedgehogs. Along the side of the property, there are raised borders containing an assortment of herbs plus strawberry, gooseberry and rhubarb plants. There are two terrace areas ideally placed for outdoor entertaining, with one underneath a pergola. The House also has the benefit of beautiful sunsets in different areas of the rear garden throughout the year.

Location - The house enjoys a delightful village edge setting affording stunning countryside views to the rear. Norton is a thriving village situated east of Bury St Edmunds offering easy access to the A14 with links to the north and south and within easy commuter distance to the larger village of Elmswell and Stowmarket train station with direct links to London's Liverpool Street. Situated within the centre there is a popular village pub, garage serving fuel, shop, community playground and well regarded local primary school.

Directions - When proceeding along Ashfield Road from the direction of the village centre, the entrance leading to the house will be found on the left, just before the sharp right hand bend.
