The Property
The front entrance to the property is through a large glazed storm porch that leads to the main entrance door giving access to the spaciouse entrance hall which welcomes us into Marton House. Our eye is immediately drawn to the left where we find the sleek modern, spacious bespoke kitchen which echo's the standard of finish through out the property. The kitchen boasts low gloss vanilla units with integral stainless steel sink set in the grey speckled Corian worktops situated overlooking the front drive and fields beyond. There is a central island with a four ring ceramic hob and extractor set above. The kitchen also benefits from a Siemens double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer all of which are integrated. Leading out from the kitchen is a large laundry room with butler sink, water softener, larder and storage cupboards along with space for washing machine, tumble dryer and second fridge. The Laundry room exits into a delightful walled garden. Back through the Kitchen a pair of french doors open into the well proportioned dining room with fitted alcove cupboards and then on through a further pair of French doors which open into the large conservatory - all in all providing an excellent entertaining space. The conservatory also leads outside into the walled garden.
Back through to the entrance hall the family space on the ground floor leads through to the impressively spacious sitting room which provides an incredible family space - this room is flooded with natural light and has a glazed door leading out to the terrace with another leading out onto the pond garden and decking. A cloakroom and then a large study are also found on the ground floor.
Through the study we enter the potential annex which contains the entrance into the double garage - half of which has been part-converted into an artist's studio. The potential annex also contains a second stairway with under stair and half landing cupboards. This stair leads into a small landing area and then a very generous space with vaulted ceilings, skylight, dormer window and arched window all with stunning views across the surrounding farmlands leading down to the River Waveney. Climbing the stairs from the main hall to the first floor brings us onto the landing - again a generous space with incredible views across open fields which surround the house. A well proportioned contemporary bathroom with white three piece suite is found at one end of the landing next to the first of the four bedrooms. The first is a spacious double with fitted wardrobes and views over the garden, the second is a mirror image of the first with fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom is the smallest room but still a spacious single and at the end of the landing is the stunning master bedroom filled with natural light from the dual aspect glazing. A Juliette balcony with ornate bespoke railings is the perfect frame for the far reaching views over to Wainford Mill and the river. There is a large walk in wardrobe adjacent from the elegant en-suite which comprises of a countertop sink over cupboard and drawers, WC and double shower. This completes the accommodation.

A large terrace area flows from the conservatory through the walled garden and looks over a low brick wall set with iron railings onto the gardens. The gardens are laid to lawn and are well established with mature shrubs, flowering bushes and trees and hedges to the boundary.
