Description

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase an extended three-bedroom detached bungalow on a sizeable plot in the sought-after town of Leiston. The well-presented family home comes with a block-paved driveway measuring 193ft (subject to survey) providing ample off-road parking, a detached double garage to the rear, and a magnificent, secluded south-facing rear garden measuring 105ft x 52ft (subject to survey) with greenhouse, shed and garden /utility room. As agents, we recommend the earliest possible internal viewing to appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer which comprises an entrance hall, impressive 28ft lounge/dining room, kitchen, stylish refitted family bathroom, and three bedrooms with one benefitting from an en-suite cloakroom.

Leiston is found a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, approximately 6 miles from Snape Maltings and approximately 5 miles from RSPB Minsmere. Home to the Long Shop Museum, Leiston has a good range of shops and amenities for all ages including a Co-op supermarket, chemists, hardware stores, a post office, doctors and dentist surgeries, a primary and secondary school, vets, library, sports centre, cinema and recreational parks as well as a good selection of pubs and fast-food takeaways. The town is served by a regular bus service to outlying villages and beyond and with Saxmundham’s railway station only four miles away, Ipswich and London are easily accessible. You can also explore the 14th century Leiston Abbey ruins.
