Property description
Olivers Property Agents are delighted to present Castle Orchard House - a substantial and beautifully appointed five-bedroom detached family home, perfectly positioned in the heart of Bungay. Offering over 2,500 sq ft of versatile living space, this impressive home combines character, comfort, and flexibility.
The property boasts five generous double bedrooms, all accessed from the landing, alongside a wealth of living accommodation including a stunning conservatory, an elegant sitting room with woodburner, and multiple options for entertaining or home working. At the heart of the home lies an expansive kitchen, complete with a gas-fired AGA, extensive fitted cupboards, and ample space for informal dining, complemented by a separate dining room with a bay window overlooking the gardens.
Approached via a gated driveway, the property offers extensive off-road parking and access to a triple garage with power, lighting, and electric doors. An adjoining store and external WC add further practicality.
The gardens offer a combination of lawn, patio, and mature planting, providing ideal spaces for relaxing and entertaining, while the summer house offers a charming retreat. Beyond, glimpses of the remains of Bigod Castle add a unique backdrop.
Recently redecorated and fitted with new carpets throughout, Castle Orchard House is ready for immediate occupation.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Extending to approximately 2,500 sq ft, the accommodation is both spacious and well-balanced. The welcoming conservatory offers a light-filled space to relax year-round, flowing through into the main living areas. A practical utility room provides additional storage and integrated appliances, along with access to the garden.
The kitchen is a true focal point, featuring an extensive range of units, integrated appliances, a traditional gas-fired AGA, and a generous pantry. The sitting room is an impressive space, enhanced by dual bay windows and a striking fireplace with woodburner, while the separate dining room provides a refined setting for more formal occasions.
Upstairs, five well-proportioned double bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families or those working from home, with built-in storage to most rooms. Two family bathrooms, both fitted with bath and separate shower enclosures, serve the first floor.
