The Property
Pushing open the front door of this charming home we step into the entrance hall where the charm, space and surprising amounts of natural light that flow throughout are all instantly apparent. Norfolk pamments line the floor and our stairs rise to the first floor, original doors to either side open to the main living spaces. Adjacent to the staircase a door opens to the ground floor shower room. To the right a step down leads us into the sitting room. Two sash windows form delightful window seats in the recess and fill this generous room with light, the open fire takes centre stage, whilst the timber flooring and pine detailing bring a subtle feeling of grandeur to the space. Crossing the hall we find the kitchen dining room, this room serves a modern, superbly functioning kitchen whilst echoing a time gone by. Our eye is drawn to the stunning brick floor that contrasts against the hand made kitchen. A window to the front lights the dining area whilst at the rear a window over the sink looks onto the garden. Space is made for a fridge freezer and range style cooker. From here a door leads us into the rear lobby which in turn opens to the garden and stairs lead us into the cellar. The cellar offers a stunning, dry, brick lined space that extends over 6 meters plus a further small store area that was possibly an entrance to part of the historic Bungay tunnel system. Returning above ground we climb the stairs to the first floor landing. Windows to the front and rear aspects fill the space with light and a large cupboard offers superb storage. To the right we find the guest bedroom, a substantial double room enjoying a dual aspect. A cast iron feature fireplace is set between two cupboards typical of its era. On the opposite side of the landing the master bedroom is found. This generous room again enjoys a feature cast iron fireplace. A window looks to the front aspect and door opens to the en-suite where we find a contemporary fitted bath, basin and w/c. On the landing the second staircase passes a window at the front and rises to the 2nd floor. Here a fine landing space leads to two further bedrooms in the roof space, both usable rooms with slightly limited head height to the eaves but boasting the most impressive vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers. Completing the accommodation on this level a cloakroom serves the two bedrooms.

Outside
From Upper Olland Street we push open the vivid pink front door and enter via the entrance hall. At the side of number 3 our vehicular access leads to the rear of the property via the driveway where we find the off road parking and space for the bins (the driveway provides access/right of way to two neighbouring properties). A gate from the parking area opens to the courtyard whilst internally we lead from the kitchen dining room via the rear lobby out to the same. This charming, enclosed courtyard is laid with a tapestry of brick, stone and paving, surrounded by flower beds that fill the space with colour and scent. An established fig tree bares fruit through the summer and autumn months. A raised timber decked seating area provides the perfect spot to catch the sun during the day and entertain from on a summer's evening.
