Church Close, Kelsale, Saxmundham, IP17

Today, the twentieth century movement for the Scandinavian influence in architecture led by Finn Juhl and Aren Jacobsen seems more fashionable than ever. The period’s love of clean lines, open-plan, and the desire to welcome light into rooms seems perfect for today’s buyers. Set in a plot of just under half an acre, this detached bungalow sits in a lovely position. Found at the end of a cul-de-sac the property lays centrally within its grounds and is entered via a wide and light hallway. The main reception room is a lovely place to spend time, enjoying the contour of the gable which slopes down to the outside walls. The room has one corner with full height windows and double doors which gives lovely views over the garden. The Kitchen has been refitted in a contemporary style with an attractive range of sleek units, this leads through to the conservatory, and a utility room/boot room is set on the other wall. All four bedrooms are well-proportioned with bedroom one offering an en-suite bathroom to complement the re-fitted shower room. There is also the benefit of a separate WC. Outside, the grounds wrap around the property with a backdrop of mature trees screening the property. Mainly laid to lawn there are more formal beds, a nature pond, along with a decked area around an ornamental pond. To the front is a large area for parking which leads to the detached brick-built garage. To one end is an area currently used as an office which provides more flexibility to the accommodation. A striking home in an enviable location.
