Mill Lane, Wickham Market, Suffolk IP13

*** guide price: £475,000 to £500,000 ***

An extremely rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a substantial three-bedroom detached bungalow with adjoining one-bedroom self-contained annexe which has its own private garden. The annexe has its own separate council tax band, has previously been tenanted but is also ideal for multi-generational living, has an independent boiler and electrics, and could easily be opened up and integrated as part of the main residence. Located just a stone’s throw of Wickham Market’s amenities including doctors’ surgery, this property is being sold with no onward chain and vacant possession. The property has been in the current family for over 35 years and comes with a single garage, large block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for four cars together with a carport providing further parking for one car, double-glazing throughout, and gas central heating via a boiler which has been replaced in the last three months.

The main bungalow accommodation comprises an entrance/utility room, kitchen, spacious inner hallway with ample storage, three double bedrooms, shower room, separate WC, and a dual aspect sitting room with wood burning stove. The annexe accommodation comprises a kitchen, sitting room, conservatory, and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

Wickham Market is a bustling, thriving community close to the River Deben within the Suffolk Coastal Heritage area approximately fifteen miles north-east of Ipswich. The centre of this large village offers convenient parking, a wide variety of shops with everything from flowers to food and fashion including Co-Operative supermarket, butchers, newsagents, as well as a medical centre, library, hairdressers and choice of places to eat. Within a ten-mile radius can be found the attractions of Easton Farm Park, the Snape Maltings, Framlingham Castle and Sutton Hoo. There is a railway station in nearby Campsea Ashe with Woodbridge being approximately five miles away on the Ipswich – Lowestoft East Suffolk Line.
