Description

Nestled in the charming village of Pettaugh, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers a remarkable opportunity for refurbishment and personalisation. Built in the late 1970s, the property spans nearly 1,600 square feet and boasts stunning views over open farmland at the rear. The ground floor features a welcoming front porch leading to a central hallway, which connects to an L-shaped sitting and dining room with a triple aspect and sliding patio doors that open onto the garden. The kitchen, overlooking the rear garden, is equipped with wall and base units, a walk-in larder, and space for essential appliances. A convenient wet room and side boot room complete the ground floor layout. Upstairs, the central landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, with the master bedroom offering a double walk-in cupboard. The family bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Outside, the property is complemented by a driveway for multiple vehicles, an attached double garage, and a rear garden that backs onto open fields, providing a tranquil outdoor space. This home is ideally located within easy reach of local amenities in nearby Debenham and benefits from excellent transport links. While requiring updating and repairs, including addressing identified moderate crack damage, this property presents a prime opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and create their dream home in a picturesque rural setting.
