The Property
Dunburgh Cottage occupies a plot of approaching half an acre, set adjacent to the imposing Dunburgh House in the sought-after hamlet of Dunburgh, near Geldeston. The property enjoys an idyllic position with far-reaching views across open fields and further benefits from ample off-road parking. The property has been extended, improved and renovated over recent years and now offers spacious yet smart and traditionally styled accommodation over two floors.
One enters the property via a side door with canopied porch into the entrance hall which features a turning staircase and doors leading to all downstairs rooms. The dining room benefits from a feature fireplace with window to one side and an archway leading to a good-sized Kitchen/Breakfast Room. The heart of the house, this room forms part of a recent extension and enjoys a pleasant triple aspect in addition to ample wooden work surfaces and a feature, inset 'Belfast' sink and range style cooker with five ring hob. A separate room, currently used as a snug would also be ideal for use as a home office or additional sitting room. The Drawing Room is the primary reception room of the property and enjoys a sunny dual aspect with views to one side overlooking the secluded front garden and views to the side overlooking open fields and countryside. A feature fireplace is the focal point of the room, ideal for relaxing in front of an open fire on a winter's evening. A laundry room and cloakroom complete the downstairs accommodation.
The first floor comprises a master bedroom which forms part of the recent extension and enjoys a sunny aspect with uninterrupted views; three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation on offer. Each of the bedrooms enjoy lovely views across open countryside and take full advantage of the pleasant, sunny aspect the property enjoys.
Outside
The property is approached by a driveway shared with the adjacent Dunburgh House, in turn leading to a private driveway which approaches the property itself. There is a detached single garage and ample off-road parking afforded by the driveway, with further scope and space for the erection of an additional/replacement garage should any prospective purchasers wish. The gardens of the property extend to approx. 0.39 acres and surround the house on all sides. Divided into four distinct sections, these gardens enjoy a pleasant, sunny aspect and a good degree of seclusion. On two sides, the property backs onto open fields with uninterrupted views across open countryside beyond. A formal lawn lies immediately to the front of the property and is laid primarily to a well-tended lawn, enclosed by mature hedging and trees which add to the seclusion. There is a small patio area located adjacent to doors leading from the kitchen, providing ample space for entertaining or 'al fresco' dining.
