Church Villas, Laxfield

This charming Victorian end of terrace Villa has a wealth of period features and is located at the end of a very pretty row of Victorian terraced cottages accessed on foot from Church Walk, adjacent to the picturesque Laxfield Church.  The house has a small front garden with wrought iron fencing to the front and a curved brick wall leads to the courtyard garden at the rear.  The house has been restored throughout to retain the period features but has a modern kitchen and bathroom giving you the best of both worlds.  The property benefits from a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, two double bedrooms and a 1st floor bathroom plus a useful converted brick built outhouse which houses the washing machine, making it a great utility space.  The courtyard has been freshly shingled and is a delightfully secluded, walled space to enjoy the outside.  There is vehicular access to the rear and parking close by.
