Description
Owl House is an impressive and well presented four bedroom house with generous landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately one third of an acre, forming part of the rural hamlet of Owls Green, between Dennington and Laxfield.

The current vendors acquired Owl House in 2017 and in the intervening period have commissioned a complete programme of sympathetic renovation and refurbishment works, retaining many of the period features including the exposed oak frame, floorboards and brick detail within the original chimney.  In addition a substantial extension was added, that almost doubled the size of the property, creating an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and living room on the ground floor together with a spacious principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite shower room, that has access to a balcony with superb views of the surrounding countryside.  The planning permission for the extension also included a garden room off the sitting room.  Although this was not built, the permission is extant. 

The remaining accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall for receiving guests, a more formal sitting room with original fireplace housing a woodburning stove, a practical boot room/utility, study and cloakroom.   On the first floor there is the landing area, the afore-mentioned principal bedroom suite, which is in the process of being completed, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. 

Outside the gardens and grounds have been landscaped and offer large patio and terraced areas, together with maturing gardens that contain a variety of specimen flowers, shrubs, a number of established trees and a large natural pond.  The vendors are planning to install a new driveway to provide parking and access.   Please refer to the site plan included within these particulars and the selling agent for further information.  In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.3 acres (0.11 hectares).
