3 Bedroom Detached House, Harvey Close, Lawford, CO11

A split-level entrance that immediately gives the house a slightly different feel to the norm, creating a natural separation between arrival and the main living spaces. Light filters through the part-glazed front door, with wood-effect flooring underfoot and clean, neutral décor keeping things fresh and easy to work with. From here, the layout becomes clear. The staircase rises directly ahead to the first floor, finished with a painted balustrade and soft carpeting, while a half-flight down leads to the lower ground level tot he living room and WC. The dining room forms part of a garage conversion on your right and the kitchen is immediately on your left.

The kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shape that makes full use of the available space, with work surfaces wrapping around three sides to create a well-contained and efficient cooking area. A comprehensive range of wood-shaker style units provide plenty of storage both above and below the counters, with continuous worktops offering generous preparation space without interruption. The layout centres around a built-in oven with gas hob and stainless steel extractor above, while there is dedicated space for freestanding appliances including fridge/freezer and washing machine. A dishwasher is also built in. The sink is set beneath a window looking out to the front, bringing in plenty of natural light and tiled flooring underfoot adds durability, particularly suited to a working kitchen, complimenting the warmer tones of the cabinetry.

Formerly part of the original garage and set just off the entrance hall, the dining room offers flexibility to the ground floor layout of the home.

Running across the rear of the house, the main living space is arranged in an L-shape that naturally separates seating and dining without the need for walls, giving it a flexible feel depending on how it’s used. The seating area is centred around a fireplace with a clean surround and built-in shelving to one side, creating a natural focal point. There’s plenty of room here for multiple sofas without it feeling crowded, with the layout lending itself equally well to everyday use or when the space is opened up for guests. To the rear, double doors lead directly out to the garden, drawing in light and creating an easy connection outside. A further window to the side adds to the dual-aspect feel, keeping the room bright throughout the day. The second section of the room comfortably accommodates a dining table, positioned close to both the kitchen and garden access, making it a practical extension of the living space.

The cloakroom has a hand wash basin and WC.

Continuing the split-level design, the first-floor landing is arranged across two gentle levels, adding interest while keeping the layout practical and easy to navigate. Natural light filters in through a well-placed window softening the transitions between levels. From here, each of the bedrooms and the bathroom are directly accessible.

A well-proportioned main bedroom positioned to take advantage of the outlook, with a wide window drawing in natural light and framing far-reaching views across to Suffolk in the distance. There’s comfortable space here for a double bed and additional furniture (although a built in wardrobe to the recess takes a heavy load), with a straightforward layout that keeps everything easy to arrange. The elevated position and open aspect give the room a slightly different feel, particularly on a clear day when the view really comes into its own.

Another comfortable double bedroom, with a slightly different shape that adds character while still allowing for a straightforward furniture layout. A dormer window to the front brings in good natural light, and there’s an integrated wardrobe cupboard built in.

The third bedroom is positioned to the rear, currently used as a home office, with a simple layout that makes it easy to adapt and another distant perspective of Suffolk similar to the first bedroom.

Finished with a clean, modern feel, the shower room has been updated to create a practical and well-presented space. A walk-in shower with tiled surround and feature detailing sits to one side, complemented by a contemporary vanity unit with inset basin and useful storage below. A heated towel rail adds everyday comfort, while the skylight above brings in natural light, giving the room a bright open feel. It’s a space that’s been sensibly improved and modernised, ready for action.

Set back from the road in a slightly tucked-away position, the house enjoys a sense of privacy that isn’t always found in modern developments. A driveway provides off-street parking, with a small area of lawn and planting softening the approach. The front door sits under a modest canopy, offering a bit of cover on arrival. There’s also side access leading through to the rear garden on the left.
