The Property
One enters this truly unique property through a welcoming entrance porch which serves well for coats and boots. An inner hall is found off the entrance porch and has both the day room and the sun room coming off it, as well as the bespoke fitted kitchen. One steps down into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room which features solid wood units lining the walls with dark laminate tops complimenting the crisp tiled floor. A range oven with 5 ring gas hob is set back into the fireplace which sits across from the stainless steel one and a half bowl sink beneath the window looking into the garden. An integrated full length fridge and separate freezer and an integrated dishwasher can be found, with a breakfast bar sitting across from the spacious utility which benefits from a shower room. The large wood burner draws ones eye as one enters the generous sitting room which also features a window and glass door into the sun room; across from which sits the study/fourth bedroom. This room lays in the original part of the property and thus enjoys exposed beams as well as French doors leading out onto the patio and into the garden beyond. Back through the kitchen and off the inner hall are French doors which open into the wonderfully light sun room which, is currently being used as a dining room and enjoys a vaulted ceiling, fitted dresser cupboards and a glass door into the sitting room. The day room is found across from the kitchen and is another well-proportioned reception room with a large window looking out across the garden and a decorative fireplace provides a charming focal point. Past the day room is another inner hall which leads to the three bedrooms, family bathroom and to the original front door. The family bathroom has been beautifully done with Farrow and Ball colours found on the wood panelling which runs along the bottom of the bath; a wc, pedestal sink and airing cupboard can also be found. The master bedroom is found at the front of the property and has been lovingly decorated and finished with a sublime carved wood fireplace found across from the large bay window. A pair of cupboards are found on either side of the chimney breast and thus provides ample storage. The guest bedroom, found across from the master, is a generous double room which again benefits from a period fireplace across from the tall bay window. The last of the bedrooms is also of good proportions and benefits from full height fitted wardrobes, cast iron fireplace and a large window which floods the room with natural light thus completing the accommodation.
Outside
The property is approached by a generous shingle drive way that leads from the hammer head off Yarmouth Road. The drive provides an ample parking area which gives access to the garage, provides a home for the oil tank, wood storage area and timber garden shed. From here we follow the path that leads through the garden to the Entrance Porch. As one follows the path we find a stepped stone patio providing an ideal area for outside entertaining or indeed a place to relax overlooking the main garden. The patio can also be accessed from the study and enjoys planted mature borders. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn and fully enclosed by mature hedges and timber fencing, a variety of established trees are in place whilst a planted bed provides some further detail. To the south side of the property there is further paved area.
Location
The property is located on the cusp of the village of Kirby Cane. The village has a local shop/newsagents, primary school, playground, church and the well known 'Olive Tree' restaurant. Bungay lies within the popular Waveney Valley and offers a good range of all the necessary amenities and shops, schools, antique shops, restaurants, the Fisher Theatre (now showing films) and leisure facilities including indoor swimming pool and golf club.
