Southend Road, Bungay, Suffolk, NR35

Situated along the ever-popular Southend, a quiet and highly regarded road known for its charming mix of individual homes, this beautifully presented 1930s semi-detached cottage offers wonderfully balanced accommodation full of warmth, character and natural light, all within easy reach of the town centre.

The property has been thoughtfully improved and carefully maintained by the current owners, successfully blending period charm with modern family living. Internally, the house displays many original features synonymous with its era, including cast iron fireplaces, stripped wooden doors, picture rails and exposed wooden flooring, all complemented by tasteful décor and an exceptional standard of presentation throughout.

The ground floor offers a particularly appealing arrangement of living space. A welcoming sitting room enjoys an attractive cast iron fireplace and cosy atmosphere, whilst the formal dining room forms the true heart of the home, an elegant and sociable space ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Flowing naturally from the dining room, a cleverly designed extension added in 2021 has created an impressive additional reception area, perfectly suited as a family room, snug or home office. The extension has been sympathetically incorporated to provide a seamless transition from the original house, enhanced beautifully by full-light glazed patio doors which draw excellent natural light into the space whilst creating a wonderful connection to the garden beyond.
The kitchen is well fitted and practical in design, complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom to the ground floor.

To the first floor are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, all beautifully presented, including a particularly attractive principal bedroom benefiting from a stylish modern ensuite shower room and its own cast iron fireplace.

Outside, the property sits comfortably within its plot with a generous driveway to the front, framed by charming yellow roses which add significantly to the home’s kerb appeal.

The rear garden, extending to approximately 60ft, enjoys a high degree of privacy and a wonderfully secluded outlook, with mature planting and an abundance of open blue sky creating a peaceful setting ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

This is a truly individual and characterful home, occupying one of the area’s most charming residential settings, where the varied architecture and established surroundings of Southend combine to create a unique and highly desirable place to live.
