Description

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase an exceptional four-bedroom detached bungalow in a truly idyllic spot in the popular village of Benhall. ‘Orchard Cottage’ has been extended and renovated by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard inside and out and is offered in show home condition. The bungalow benefits from substantial wraparound gardens complimented by a resin outside seating / dining area leading out from the garden room, off-road parking to the front for three / four vehicles, fantastic guest suite with double bedroom and en-suite shower room, dry eco-heat ventilation system, replacement flush-fitting double-glazed windows, newly installed oil-fired central heating system, and the bungalow has been rewired and replumbed including replacement radiators in every room. The flat roof of the garage conversion was also fully refurbished two years ago.

A summary of the accommodation is as follows: spacious entrance hall, cosy dual aspect sitting room with multi-fuel burner, stylish refitted shower room, stunning 25ft triple aspect kitchen / breakfast / family room, impressive garden room which has been added by the current owners, and four bedrooms, one of which has a luxurious refitted en-suite shower room.

The idyllic village of Benhall is just a short drive from the charming market town of Saxmundham which has a mainline train station to London Liverpool Street station via Ipswich. Amenities in Benhall include a primary school, popular social club and farm shop, whilst Saxmundham provides a large range of amenities including primary school and free school, social club, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, and art galleries. The beautiful Suffolk Heritage Coast is within easy access by rail and road to many of the nearby 'must see' places to visit along the coast including the world famous snape Maltings Concert Hall, the seaside towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh, Havergate Island and Minsmere nature reserves, ancient castles at Orford and Framlingham, and golf courses galore.
