Town End
This individual detached house presents brick elevations under a tiled roof, with good proportions and offers approximately 1200 sq.ft of interior accommodation. The property is a little tired now overall internally and well suited to updating. The room sizes are good, and with a layout practical, which makes it an ideal candidate for modernisation.
Town End as the name would imply is positioned on the edge of the attractive village of New Buckenham with open common land to one side. It is ideal as a family house, as it is positioned centrally on its plot, with a large and private garden, both to the front, and again to the rear. You approach through a gate to the front, alongside the parking area and garage.
The ground floor layout provides a generous hallway, with a small WC cloakroom and built in coat cupboard, with doors leading to the kitchen and sitting room.
The sitting room has a further door into the kitchen and glazed door to the garden room to the rear. There is a box bay-style window with an outlook across the common land and play areaoutside the boundary to the side of the property. The sitting room enjoys an open fireplace and extended hearth. There are picture glass windows and casement door, overlooking and leading to the private enclosed front garden area.
The garden room has windows and French doors overlooking and leading out to the rear garden.
The kitchen is a galley-style layout and now dated, ideally suited to updating. To the end of this room is a space suited to a breakfast table, or dining area, with French doors leading outside to the rear. The utility room has a door to the side.
Upstairs, the spacious landing area leads to all rooms. The main bedroom is double-aspect and has a dressing-area toward the rear, leading into the small shower room, with basic cubicle and wash-hand basin (no WC). There is a wardrobe also, and with a few minor layout adjustments, a larger, more contemporary en-suite could be created alongside the main bedroom.
The family bathroom, has a bath, WC and vanity unit basin. The second bedroom is again a good size, positioned to the front, with a built-in cupboard. The third spacious bedroom which has been used as a study, has a window out to the side overlooking the common land and further built-in cupboards.
The room sizes overall are much roomier than average in a house of this type with a total internal floor area approx. 1350 sq feet.
Outside
Approximately 0.2 acre area of gardens is lawned mostly and well screened making for private outdoor spaces. The house is set back well from the main road, with a paved driveway to the front giving off road parking space and access to the detached, brick garage. There is a rear roller door from the garage allowing access for mowers etc. to the garden area, and a gate to the pathway leading to the house. The gardens have clearly defined boundaries with brick walls, fencing and hedging and with some mature trees, with a small summerhouse to the rear boundary, the basics are already there for the creative gardener to make this property their own.
