4 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled in a tranquil setting, this property is set back from a quaint country lane in a rural, but yet not isolated position on the outskirts of the charming village of Laxfield. The village boasts a respected primary school, a fantastic Co-op village store with a post office, a hardware store/garage and two popular and highly regarded pubs. About 6 miles to the south lies the historic town of Framlingham, offering excellent schooling and a variety of shops and restaurants. Heading 6 miles east, you'll reach Halesworth, known for its great local amenities and a bustling Wednesday market. For a seaside escape, the Heritage Coast beckons, with the beloved spots of Southwold, Walberswick and Dunwich just 15 miles away to the east. Diss, a charming market town, is also within easy reach, offering a mainline railway station with services to London's Liverpool Street Station and Norwich ( approximately 14 miles to the west). For city adventures, Ipswich, the County town, sits about 25 miles to the south, offering a blend of history and modernity.

This charming farmhouse was individually designed and built in 1952 by HWS Cook, a well-regarded local builder of that era. It boasts traditional architecture with attractive red brick facades under a pitched pantile roof, complemented by modern sealed unit UPVC windows and doors. During the construction, meticulous attention to detail was given, with a focus on using local materials wherever possible – like the locally sourced elm wood for the architraves, skirting and window sills, crafted on-site at the farm to the rear. Over time, the property has been generously extended in two phases, now offering versatile living space spanning approximately 1,400 square feet. The layout of the accommodation is thoughtfully designed, flooded by plenty of natural light and with all of the principal rooms enjoying stunning views of the tranquil rural countryside to the west.

As previously mentioned, attention is drawn to the stunning far-reaching views over the rural farmland to the front, giving this property a superb and rarely available position.
