Thorndon is conveniently positioned for access to the A140, providing a direct route to Norwich and Ipswich.

The Property
The Meadow House is an individually built home offering well-balanced and thoughtfully arranged accommodation throughout. The proportions are particularly generous, most notably within the spacious living room, while the overall layout creates a natural and comfortable flow, ideal for everyday living. The kitchen/dining room has been opened up in recent years by the current owners, creating a sociable and inviting space well suited to modern living and entertaining. This area is fitted with a range of contemporary units, complemented by a quality integrated Miele dishwasher, combining both practicality and style. A separate utility room provides valuable additional space, ideal for housing white goods and maintaining a clean, uncluttered kitchen environment. In addition, the family room offers excellent versatility and can be used as a more informal second sitting room, a children’s playroom, or even a ground floor occasional bedroom, if required. Upstairs, there is further potential to enhance the layout, with scope to combine the existing bathroom and en-suite to form a Jack and Jill arrangement serving the two rear bedrooms; an appealing option for families or guests.

Outside
The property is set well back from the road and approached via double gates, opening onto a gravel driveway that provides ample off-road parking and access to the detached garage/workshop. The gardens have been recently landscaped to create an attractive and well-maintained outdoor space. A porcelain patio, added in recent years, offers a stylish and practical seating area, accessed from multiple points at the rear of the house - ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by thoughtfully planted borders filled with a variety of perennial shrubs, providing colour and seasonal interest throughout the year, along with several secluded seating areas to enjoy different aspects of the garden. A particular highlight is the garden studio, finished to a high standard and fully insulated and heated, making it perfectly suited for year-round use. Whether utilised as a home office, hobby space, or for entertaining, it offers excellent versatility to suit a range of needs.

Services: Mains water, electricity, and drainage are connected. The property is served by oil-fired central heating and also benefits from solar panels, which contribute significantly towards the overall household electricity costs.
