The towns of Needham Market and Stowmarket are close by and offer a much wider range of day to day shopping facilities along with a variety of schools and recreational pursuits including an 18 hole golf course and fitness centre at Stowmarket. There are 24 miles of footpaths in the parish through ancient woodland and attractive undulating countryside which surrounds the village. Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds provide further educational, shopping and recreational facilities. Needham Market, Stowmarket and Ipswich have InterCity rail connections to London's Liverpool Street Station.

Description

Broad Oaks is a substantial detached bungalow set back from the road within established gardens and offering impressively proportioned, light-filled accommodation throughout. The front door opens into a bright and spacious entrance hall. To the end of the hall is a delightful sitting room with doors out to the gardens and views over the farmland beyond. To the side is the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with ample base and wall units, a Rangemaster cooker and an integrated dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen lies the exceptional triple-aspect dining/drawing room, distinguished by its impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, glazed doors to the garden, and striking floor-to-ceiling window. Across the hall from the kitchen is a useful utility room and a cloakroom.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged along a back hallway, where there are five bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, and all featuring built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom, in particular, is elegantly proportioned. Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed family bathroom.

Broad Oaks is set within delightful private gardens, bordered by mature trees and established shrubs. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and features a generous terrace, which is an ideal space for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

To the front, a large shingle driveway provides parking for numerous cars and leads to the detached double garage, which includes a workshop to the rear and a gardeners cloakroom, offering excellent storage and practical workspace. There is a further garden storage shed to one side.
