Equally, Debenham lies within easy reach to the south and Stowmarket provides an alternative mainline rail station to London in addition to services west to Cambridge and Kings Cross services north to Scotland.
Description
Barleycorn was built in 1966 for a local family in whose ownership it remained until 2020. Following the handover, the property has undergone a major refurbishment creating the stunning bungalow on show today. The lovely sized plot, just a little under a quarter acre, backs onto open farmland providing a great view to the west and allows the bungalow to sit back up off the lane with a good length of driveway. It seems not a stone has been left unturned either inside or out with garden landscaping complementing the remodelled interior. Bang on trend paint colours, floor coverings, kitchen and shower room fittings are all new along with a splendid range of kitchen units, new internal doors, the creation of a new en suite bedroom and remodelling of the interior to create new rooms and 'flow'. A new oil fired boiler supplies domestic hot water and radiators and windows and doors are double glazed. In addition to the conservatory, a further garden feature is a recent timber purpose built chalet style summer house to sit and enjoy the newly laid out garden.
Entrance Hall
A new outer door opens to a welcoming entrance area before extending through the heart of the bungalow providing access to the various rooms. A lovely Amtico floor is laid throughout with additional notable details being ogee moulded cornicing and nice deep matching skirting boards and architraves. Panelled doors lead off. A built-in cupboard houses the Firebird oil fired boiler supplying domestic hot water and radiators.

Outside
Barleycorn sits back from a quiet village lane behind an area of lawn now sporting a young laurel hedge and bordered by a long driveway, refreshingly not laid with gravel but a more rustic and attractive stone. A number of cars can easily be parked along the drive leading up to the bungalow. Gates at either side lead to the gardens beyond including a very pretty and sheltered garden to the left hand side along with the main garden at the rear. A patio links the lawn with the bungalow and a pathway leads down the garden to the discreetly positioned oil tank and wheelie bins plus the sizeable garden shed at the bottom corner. The rear boundary now allows for the view across the fields to be enjoyed and one can see for miles towards the West. The sunsets must be stunning.
