The flat roof which covers the porchway area, garage and the rear part of the extension was replaced approximately 5 years ago. We also understand the property has cavity wall insulation.

At the rear there are delightful easterly facing gardens which over look the fields and are real sun traps superb for sitting out and having an early morning cuppa or a glass of wine or alfresco dining.

Summary Continued

The house is on a wide plot which allows for the extra space adjacent to the garage for additional storage area and also allows for a wider than average concrete driveway with further potential for parking if required on what is now the front lawn.

The previous owners have thoroughly enjoyed living in this property since it was built in the late1960's.

The property is in a superb location with fantastic views over farmland fields to the rear and as such is completely un-overlooked from the rear.

Now being sold with no chain involved the property is clean and tidy and could benefit from upgrading and modernisation. It offers superb potential for a side and/or rear extension subject to all the required necessary building regulations and planning consents.

The entire house is very light and airy courtesy of large replacement double glazed windows with an easterly facing kitchen and dining area being very sunny in the mornings and a westerly facing lounge which is lovely and sunny in the afternoons.

Kirton is a highly sought after village with a lovely community spirit with plenty of activities and a thriving social scene within the village.

Kirton is glad to still offer a pub and there is also a church with an active social side and an adjacent church hall which is only a few minutes walk away with excellent activities including Brownies, over 60s clubs, Scout group and quizzes.

There is an active Kirton Facebook group and also the Kirton Review Magazine in addition to the church and church hall and there is a very good farm shop just up the road at Trimley St Martin.

With local primary schools at Trimley St Martin and Bucklesham.

Additionally the property is ideal for anyone with young children or dogs, walking or mountain biking as there are a great selection of footpaths and bridal paths running in the fields behind which eventually lead down to the river in one direction and Newbourne in the other with some superb countryside and views to be enjoyed.

Also on Friday nights there is a fish and chip van which comes onto the green at Kirton. Furthermore access onto the A14 /A12 is within a 5 minute drive with Felixstowe itself being only a 10 minute drive away with its lovely beaches and host of costal attractions. In the other direction Ipswich and Woodbridge are only 15 minute drives away in their respective directions.
