Description
This two-bedroom detached bungalow stands proudly in Knights Close, nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Lawford, offering a unique blend of comfort, style, and ever changing distant vistas of the Suffolk shoreline. As you approach the property, the charm of its elevated position is immediately apparent, promising distant views that captivate and enchant.
The home welcomes you through a glazed UPVC door into an inviting hallway, where tiling underfoot hints at the thoughtful details within. This corridor serves as the heart of the home, leading you to a beautifully appointed kitchen. Here, light grey cabinets with a modern handle-less design pair with a square edge laminate worktop, creating a space where functionality meets style. The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring an eye-level Lamona oven and grill, a gas hob, and a ceramic sink set against a large window that frames the garden beyond.
The living room, a cozy retreat at the rear, extends an invitation to unwind with its wood laminate flooring and French doors that open onto a paved patio, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor leisure.
The bungalow boasts two bedrooms, each with wood laminate flooring and windows that offer glimpses of the serene landscape. The first, a generous space currently used as a dining room, provides an offset view of the coast. The second bedroom affords a clearer perspective of the Stour estuary and Suffolk beyond, making each awakening a moment to cherish.
A neatly presented bathroom, featuring half-tiled walls in glossy white, a pedestal bath with a shower, and a vanity sink, completes the interior's offerings, ensuring comfort and convenience are never in short supply.
Outside, the property reveals its true splendor with a meticulously designed tiered garden. South-facing, this outdoor haven starts with a paved patio, leading up through timber sleeper steps to a lush lawn with a pond, a working garden area, and culminating in an elevated terrace. Here, a shed and summerhouse (potentially available with the home) offer a perfect vantage point to soak in the breathtaking views.
With off-street parking for two vehicles and a single garage, this bungalow merges ease of living with the allure of the great outdoors. Situated within easy reach of local schools, Manningtree's vibrant town center, and the main line train station, it's a home that promises not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to embrace. Whether you're a family, commuter, or retiree, this property in Lawford offers a slice of tranquility, convenience, and beauty.
