4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

* Rarely available *

Palmer & Partners are delighted to present to the market this handsome four double bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house built by Reades of Aldeburgh and situated in the very popular town of Leiston. This exquisite family home has been extended and updated by the current owners creating ample and flexible living accommodation and is beautifully presented throughout with a contemporary feel whilst retaining many period features including box bay windows, picture rails, original parquet flooring in the hallway, open fireplaces, and high ceilings. Externally there is a substantial driveway to the front providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles and to the rear is a cleverly landscaped garden, which is a particular selling feature, with an extensive terrace and detached bespoke handmade garden office / studio. As family homes of this size and quality are rarely available, early viewing is advised to avoid disappointment. There are two independent accesses into the property, the main front door which opens into the entrance hall and a further door which takes you straight into the utility room; the property is double glazed throughout and has gas central heating, and has been fully re-wired and re-plumbed.

A summary of the accommodation is as follows: grand entrance hall with open fire; impressive sitting room with wood burning stove; generous second reception room; study / office with built-in office furniture; breakfast room; stunning 21ft refitted and extended kitchen / dining / family room with high-end integrated appliances, feature centre island and bi-fold doors; separate utility room; and a refitted shower room completes the ground floor. The first floor has a spacious landing; luxurious refitted family bathroom with freestanding bath; and four double bedrooms, three of which are quite generous, the master having a walk-in wardrobe, and the third bedroom making a great guest suite as it has an en-suite shower room.
