Description
Spacious 5 bedroom family home in a well serviced village
Set in a good size plot, it consists of
12’x12’ kitchen with fully fitted units, worktop on three sides of the kitchen and large capacity gas combi boiler so you should never run out of hot water (very useful with children). There are 16 electricity points, plumbing for a dishwasher and electrical & gas hook-ups with space for a double width cooker. Access ladder to boarded storage loft above kitchen. The area continues into a 10’6”x10’6” dining room with free standing Rayburn solid fuel fire inset in fireplace and separate walk-in larder storage cupboard. The whole of this area is laid with quarry tile flooring. A short corridor with under-stair storage cupboard leads to the 7’x5’ utility/shower room with fittings for washing machine & tumble dryer and electric shower cubicle together with toilet and hand basin.
The light airy lounge is 19’x17’ (into 8’6” return) with windows to front and rear, TV point wired to allow household signal distribution and integral wiring for rear speakers and 12 electrical points. From the dining area there is a further 13’x10’ sitting room/study leading to the front entrance hall and stairs to the first floor.
The landing at the top of the stairs gives access to a large part boarded loft space, 5 bedrooms and family bathroom.
Bed 1 – 12’8”x10’3” with original cast iron fireplace and walk in cupboard
Bed 2 – 14’x10’6” L-shaped
Bed 3 – 10’6”x9’ with original cast iron fireplace and full height airing cupboard that is fully shelved as no storage tanks now needed. Could easily be removed to increase room area.
Bed 4 – 9’x8’10”
Bed 5 – 9’x7’10”
8’9”x7’4” family bathroom with generous corner bath, sink and toilet. Both this and the downstairs utility are timber panelling to wainscot level.
Good sized front garden is fully enclosed (great for children) as the property & garden is approx. 5ft above road level behind a flint retaining wall topped by a fence and plants so not overlooked from the road and fully useable unlike many front gardens. Outline planning permission has been granted for pedestrian access through to the road but we have decided not to use it thus far as we preferred the privacy.
Rear contoured brick paviour patio bordered partly by brick wall and raised beds. Two 6’x8’ sheds and a 12’x19’ steel building (insulated with electricity supply currently used as garage). Access to the rear of the property is from Peasecroft Road via a tarmac drive onto a stone and concrete parking area with space for 4 cars (including ‘garage’) with capacity for up to 8/9 if double parked. There is also a walled raised bed used as a small veg/herb plot. The local planning department has confirmed that having received intial enquiries, they would be amenable to an application for a timber treble garage to be built.
The property faces onto the old Thetford road and neighbours the Victorian school house. It has been significantly extended and has been our home for the last 13 years.
Ixworth has been bypassed by the A143 and A1088 leaving a quiet village with easy access to Bury St Edmunds, Diss and Thetford and the A14 in both directions. It has shops, primary and middle schools, post office and other local amenities.
We are selling as, after bringing up 4 children, 2 have now moved out and we have decided it’s time for a change. This has been a superb property and we hope the next owner enjoys it as much as we have.
