The property is approached through a five-bar gate along a gravel driveway, which offers ample turning and parking space, whilst also providing access to several useful outbuildings, ideal for additional storage.

There are delightful gardens surrounding the property, which are predominantly laid-to-lawn; the front garden being partially-walled, with a paved and gravel terrace ideal for al fresco dining beside the house. A large pond sits to the rear of the main house, with the barn set back behind. The plot is interspersed with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and hedgerows which then open out to reveal the stunning countryside views beyond. A secondary driveway has already been created leading from the road to the barn, allowing for the barn to be completely separate from the house if required.

Across the other side of the road is also a small parcel of land which was retained by a previous owner in order to protect the outward view to the west.

The property is nestled within a rural area of Mid Suffolk, surrounded by stunning countryside, on the outskirts of the village of Mickfield; the beautiful Suffolk Wildlife Trust 'Mickfield Meadow' is a short distance away.
