The Property
Entering the property via the side entrance we step in at the ground floor level to the vast Family Kitchen Dining Room. This space is the hub of the home for family life and entertaining alike. The original Castle wall runs through the entire space and brings a wealth of character to this otherwise contemporary space. The Kitchen Area has been fitted with a range of high gloss units that incorporate a wine cooler, dish washer and stunning range master cooker with 5 burner gas hob. An extractor fan sits above the cooker whilst solid granite work surfaces complement the units. The slate flooring in the Kitchen conceals the modern under floor heating system and leads through open plan into the family Dining Area where again the Castle wall is on display. Tri folding doors open to the enclosed courtyard area allowing us to incorporate this attractive outside space when needed. Steps lead us down to the lower ground floor and up to the first floor. On the lower ground floor we find a generous lobby area that leads to the two Double Bedrooms and stunning bespoke Wet Room. Both Double Bedrooms enjoy full height windows that look out to the front aspect. The windows are enclosed by large barn door style shutters with attractive carvings that mirror the garage doors. Stepping through the lobby we find the Wet Room which again is finished to an impeccable standard with fully tiled walls and floors. The room enjoys a fan head open shower, bespoke 'stone' hand basin and wall mounted w/c. Feature lights make a focal point of the Castle wall. Heading back through the Kitchen we climb the stairs which open to the Sitting Room. This vast room offers a superb family space with windows over looking the front aspect and french doors that open to the roof terrace. A door leads to the front into the study which provides an excellent working space within the home, a feature arch window looks back into the Sitting room whilst a window provides a view over the frontage and out towards the towns popular Earsham Street. Stepping Back through the Sitting Room we pass a door that leads to the stair way down to the front entrance hall and gives internal access to the garage. On the opposite side of the Sitting Room a door opens to the delightful dual aspect Master Bedroom, this generous room provides ample space for the necessary furnishings and enjoys a full size En-Suite Bathroom. The Bathroom is finished in a manner that echos the standard of the rest of the house, the suite comprises of a 'p' shaped 'carron whirlpool' bath with shower and screen fitted over, a wash basin set in a wall mounted vanity unit and a w/c. This completes the accommodation.
Outside
The property occupies a private non road fronting position within the heart of the town enjoying views over Bungay's Castle and grounds. Approaching the front of the property we find the garage with barn style doors that give vehicular access. Adjacent is the front door entrance whilst a front garden sits amongst the attractive Castle Wall. The garden is planted with established flowering shrubs coupled with a delightful tree fern. A path leads to the side entrance door. From the Sitting Room french doors take us out onto the beautiful roof terrace garden. The terrace is finished in a durable composite deck board and floor slates which are complemented by attractive contemporary glass banisters. A door leads from here to the utility and boiler room whilst back on the terrace we take in the view of the Castle and its grounds. A viewing area looks down into the enclosed courtyard which leads off the Kitchen/Dining Room and we find further evidence of the Castle Wall on display and plumbing in place for a water feature. The terrace is southerly facing but enjoys the sun all day due to its elevated position.
