Location
Meadow View is situated in a particularly pleasant location, along a no-through lane within the parish of Mendlesham.  From the bungalow itself there are a multitude of footpaths.  The village of Mendlesham itself is approximately a mile.  The village comprises a doctors surgery and primary school as well as a shop/post office, a pub and fish and chip shop.  The village is located just west of the A140 Ipswich to Norwich Road and is 19 miles from both Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.  Stowmarket Railway Station, on the main line to Londons, Liverpool Street is within easy reach.  There are two picturesque villages within the parish, Mendlesham and Mendlesham Green and also outlying hamlets and houses.  There is a primary school and a community centre with playing fields and tennis courts.  There is also an excellent health centre covering the district.  Mendlesham Green also offers play facilities and scout hut.  The coast with destinations such as Aldeburgh and Thorpeness are approximately 28 miles.       
    
Description
Meadow View was constructed in 1979/1980 and is a prefabricated Woolaway Bungalow which is deemed  non-standard construction.  Due to its rural location,  when planning permission was granted in 1978, the local planning authority imposed an Agricultural Occupancy Condition that states, ‘the occupation of the dwelling should be limited to a person solely or mainly employed, or last employed, in the locality in agriculture as defined in Section 290 (1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971, or in Forestry (including any dependents of such persons residing with them), or a widow or widower of such a person’.

Outside 
The property is approached from the no-through lane via a concrete drive providing off road parking.  This leads to a prefabricated garage with double doors to the front.  It measures approximately 20’ x 9’11 and power is connected.  To the front and rear of the bungalow, the east and west, there are areas of garden but the main garden lies to the south of the property.  This is predominantly laid to grass and contains trees and shrubs.  It is enclosed by a hedge and a ditch. The gardens associated with the bungalow extend to approximately 0.4 acres. 

To the north of the bungalow is the meadow.  This is enclosed by trees and has independent access onto the lane.  There is also a pond.  The meadow extends to 2.5 acres with the whole property in all being approximately 2.9 acres.      

Viewing
Strictly by appointment with the agent.  

Services
Mains water and electricity.  Private drainage system (it is believed that the property is served by a septic tank. Whilst this works in a satisfactory manner, it is unlikely to comply with the newest drainage regulations and a buyer should budget to install a new sewage system at their own cost.  This cost has been taken into account within the guide price.)
The property does not have central heating but the fireplace in the sitting/dining room has a back boiler that  serves some radiators and the hot water.  The hot water tank also has an immersion heater.

Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you.  These Particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract.  All measurements quoted are approximate.  The Fixtures, Fittings & Appliances have not been tested and therefore no guarantee can be given that they are in working order.  Photographs are reproduced for general information and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included.  No guarantee can be given that any planning permission or listed building consent or building regulations have been applied for or approved.

2. The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 require all Estate Agents to obtain sellers’ and buyers’ identity.
3.  The bungalow and  its gardens are owned by separate family members to the meadow.  The property is however, being sold as a whole.  The bungalow is registered with land registry with the meadow being unregistered.  A buyer may find that their solicitor charges a premium for dealing with two transactions that will occur simultaneously.           
4. As stated in the particulars, the bungalow is prefabricated which is a non-standard construction.  It may be that only specialist mortgage companies will lend on the property and interested parties should investigate this with their mortgage broker prior to viewing/offering.   February 2024

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
