Full description
An individual DETACHED BUNGALOW delightfully situated in one of the finest locations within the county of Suffolk. The property occupies an elevated position within the popular and much sought after hamlet of Pin Mill, approximately 6 miles to the South-East of the county town of Ipswich on the Shotley peninsula. The bungalow enjoys the MOST IDYLLIC location with views from the sitting room and gardens across the River Orwell towards Nacton on the distance and of Pin Mill Sailing Club and surrounding countryside.
"The Crows Nest" was built in 1960 of traditional brick and block construction with colour washed rendered elevations under a slated roof and is approached by a long private drive. It occupies a secluded and established sloping plot of approximately 1 ACRE and is not overlooked from any direction. The property has been extended but there is ample scope for further developments subject to the usual planning consents.
Pin Mill is a thriving community with a local sailing club and the historic Butt & Oyster Public House. The river is also home to a number of houseboats and barges. There is easy access to local shops and to Royal Harwich Yacht Club in the adjacent village of Woolverstone which is also home to Ipswich High School for Girls. Ipswich mainline railway station with its regular inter-city service to London's :Liverpool Street Station (approximately 70 minutes) is only 15 minutes drive away.
Without doubt however, what sets "The Crows Nest£ apart from other properties in the area are the most spectacular panoramic views of the River Orwell and surrounding countryside. For this reason alone, the property should be viewed to be fully appreciated.
