Located in the sought-after village of Great Blakenham and offering convenient access to the A14 commuter routes, this nicely presented three/four-bedroom detached home dates back to the 1880s. Over time, it has been sympathetically extended and thoughtfully updated, resulting in a harmonious blend of period charm and modern living.
