Description
Believed to date from 1966, Twin Oaks was built by Westholme of Ely and is of pre-fabricated concrete panel construction under a pitched tiled roof occupying a generous, mature plot of nearly half an acre.
The vendors acquired the property in October 2022 and in the intervening period have renovated and updated Twin Oaks with works including a new woodburning stove with back boiler serving the hot water and central heating system, rewiring the property and updating the kitchen and shower room - with the kitchen including an impressive dual fuel Rangemaster cooker. In addition, new UPVC windows were installed, and the exterior of the building rendered and painted. A new foul water treatment plant has also been installed, together with extensive works within the gardens and grounds including the improvement of the driveway and parking area and installation of patio areas at the rear.
Twin Oaks occupies a large plot of nearly half an acre, and facing in both south and westerly directions, the gardens enjoy the sun during the latter half of the day. The plot itself is very private and includes a wide variety of mature and established shrubs and trees, and a useful range of timber frame garages/storage buildings as well.
Prospective purchasers should note that overhead electricity pylons cross the western part of the garden.

Clarke & Simpson is an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors dealing in rural property matters including estate agency, residential lettings, farm and land sales, professional valuations, estate management, auctioneering and architectural work. With a team of over thirty working from our office in the medieval town of Framlingham, we pride ourselves on our wealth of experience and knowledge and do our very best to a offer a completely dedicated, personal and professional service.
Whilst our business is based around bricks and mortar, more fundamentally it is about people and this is where Clarke & Simpson hope that we genuinely excel. We believe our reputation is built on openness and honesty.
HistoryThe business was started in Christopher Clarke's playroom back in 1989. Christopher had previously been the managing director of a large corporate agency and was keen to get back to his original roots of selling property and offering a first class personal service. The business may have grown but there is still the great enthusiasm from all the team to offer the highest quality care and attention.
ServiceWe all detest phoning any business and either getting an answerphone or speaking to someone who cannot help and are simply fielding the call. We really want everyone who contacts us to feel that we have done our very best to help in a prompt and efficient manner. When you call during working hours you will always get to speak to one of our experienced team, not an answer phone. If that person cannot immediately help you, they will do their utmost to find someone who can.
- Call us and always get to speak to a member of our experienced staff and never an answerphone during office hours.
- With our team of over thirty, including eight Chartered Surveyors, we are confident that our personal and truly professional service will most often be a cut above the rest.
- Our agents have lived and worked in Suffolk for most of their lives and are proud of the fact that they know most small lanes, pubs, schools and parishes in the area, and can offer buyers and sellers honest and knowledgeable advice.
- We work on the basis that, having dealt with Clarke & Simpson, you would be happy and keen to recommend us to your family and friends.
