Occupying a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre (subject to survey) in the sought-after town of Leiston is this beautifully proportioned detached family home. Originally built around 1965 and extensively enlarged in 2007/2008, the property now offers impressive and versatile accommodation that can only be fully appreciated by an internal viewing. With three bedrooms-one currently used as a study-and a shower room on the ground floor and two further en-suite bedrooms on the first floor, this flexible arrangement is ideally suited to a large family or multi-generational living. The home also benefits from ample storage throughout, a five-bar gated driveway providing off-road parking for eight to nine vehicles, an integral garage and a magnificent, highly secluded rear garden incorporating a workshop and dedicated vegetable garden.<br/><br/>To the ground floor is a grand entrance/garden room, utility room and two cloakrooms, kitchen/breakfast room, formal dining room, lovely and bright sitting room, shower room, two good-sized double bedrooms, and a fifth bedroom which is being used as a study. On the first floor is an impressive galleried landing currently used as a music area/library, a generous master bedroom with dressing room and four-piece en-suite bathroom, and a generous double guest room with en-suite shower room.<br/><br/>Leiston is found a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, approximately 6 miles from Snape Maltings and approximately 5 miles from RSPB Minsmere.
