Overing Avenue, Great Waldingfield

A family house on the green, with more room inside than you'd expect from the front.

The house sits in a prominent spot overlooking the green, on a modern development in the newer part of Great Waldingfield. Buff brick below, white weatherboarding above, and an angled footprint that gives it around 1,014 sq ft across two floors: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a ground floor WC, a 20ft living room and an 18ft kitchen/diner. The owners have kept it well, and it's ready to move into.

If you lived here

You come in off the path into a proper entrance hall, with the stairs ahead, the WC to one side and the two main rooms off it. Wood-effect flooring runs through most of the ground floor.

The living room runs the full depth of the house. There's a window to the front and French doors at the back, so it gets light at both ends.

In the kitchen/diner, white gloss units sit under dark worktops, and a peninsula splits the cooking end from the table. You've got a four ring gas hob, an electric fan oven, a one and a half bowl sink, metro tiles, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and room for an American-style fridge freezer. A second door takes you out to the patio.

Upstairs, the main bedroom looks out over the green, with mirrored built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also faces the front and is a comfortable double. Bedroom three is at the back, a single currently set up as a child's room. The family bathroom has a panelled bath, and there's an airing cupboard on the landing.

Outside

The front is lawned, with a small bed beside the path. The rear garden faces south west and is built for low upkeep: a big paved patio, a raised bed, a fenced play area finished in bark, and a screened corner with a timber shed. A gate at the back leads to the block-paved parking court, where the house has its own space under a carport, with visitor parking alongside.

The area

You're within walking distance of the village primary school, the village shop and The White Horse pub on Lavenham Road, and the old part of the village around St Lawrence's Church has footpaths out into open countryside.

Sudbury is about two miles away, with its market town centre, supermarkets, health centre and the branch line to Marks Tey, around 20 minutes by train, for mainline services into London Liverpool Street. Lavenham is roughly five miles north, and the A134 takes you to Colchester and Bury St Edmunds.

What else?

• Schools: Great Waldingfield CofE Primary is in the village, with secondary schools in Sudbury. Check catchments with Suffolk County Council.
• Shopping: Sudbury's town centre has the high street, market and supermarkets, all within a short drive.
• Getting about: the B1115 runs through the village to Sudbury and Lavenham, and Sudbury station is about ten minutes by car.
