Mill Street, Gislingham, Eye IP23 8JT

Situation

Located within the village, this property offers convenient access to local amenities and the surrounding rural countryside. Gislingham, situated on the north Suffolk borders, has long been a desirable location, thanks to its proximity to the stunning Waveney Valley and its picturesque countryside. It retains a strong local community, supported by good infrastructure, including a shop; a village hall; and an historic church with an active congregation. Gislingham CE Primary School is part of the very successful Tilian Multi-Academy Trust, and the village lies within the catchment area of sought-after Hartismere School.  For additional amenities, the historic market town of Diss is just 10 miles to the north and offers an excellent range of amenities, along with a mainline railway station providing regular and direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

Description

Individually designed and built by a local builder in 2003, this traditionally constructed property has been significantly enhanced and upgraded in recent years. It now offers versatile living space of approximately 3,600 sq ft arranged over three floors. The house benefits from double-glazed windows and doors, oil-fired central heating, and solar panels with battery storage. Combined with good insulation levels, these features have earned the property a C rating on the EPC, making it a genuinely energy-efficient home.

On the ground floor, well-proportioned rooms flood with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming feel throughout. The main reception room is particularly impressive, generously sized and centred around a large inglenook-style fireplace. Beyond it, a southerly-facing garden room offers lovely views over the main gardens. The kitchen/diner is a true highlight of the home. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished, it features extensive storage, quartz worktops, and a suite of high-quality appliances including two combination ovens, an induction hob with a rising extractor fan, a conventional oven, a dishwasher, and separate full-length fridge and freezer units. Completing the ground floor is a WC, a large utility room being accessed through a secret full-length hidden door in the kitchen cupboards, and internal access to the double garage. On the first floor, five generously sized bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with two of the bedrooms benefitting from their own en-suite facilities. The second floor is home to the sixth bedroom, the largest in the property which also features an en-suite and offers flexible use should it not be required as a bedroom.

Externally

Set back from a private driveway shared with just one other dwelling, this property enjoys a pleasantly tranquil setting to the west of the village, away from the bustle of Mill Street. Electric double five-bar gates open onto a brick-weave driveway, providing extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The double garage features two up-and-over doors, internal access to the main house, and the added benefit of a carport to the side. The generous main gardens lie to the front of the property, where a southerly aspect ensures plenty of natural light throughout the day. Predominantly laid to lawn, they offer a welcoming and open feel. To the side of the house, a covered veranda provides a superb space for alfresco dining, complete with a hot tub (included in the sale) and a raised decking area. To the rear, a large paved patio connects to an additional lawned garden—ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
