Outside The property is set well back from the Bury Road providing a good deal of seclusion and screening afforded by the evergreen and beech hedging. The property is accessed via a pea shingle driveway leading from the road which in turn leads to the substantial gravel driveway providing ample parking for a number of vehicles as well as the INTERGRAL DOUBLE GARAGE; which provides additional parking spaces if required and a wealth of storage facilities. The generous grounds amount to approximately 0.4 acres which are predominantly laid to lawn with specimen trees and hedging interspersed throughout. Borders are clearly defined by hedging and fencing to all sides with purposely retained low level fencing to the rear allowing one to enjoy the exceptional views of undulating Suffolk countryside.
