Mere Close, Great Barton, Bury St. Edmunds, IP31

ONE BUNGALOW, TWO VERY DIFFERENT OPTIONS

This individual detached bungalow offers a comfortable level of accommodation and is set in large gardens. You may wish to do some updating, but otherwise, it's 'good to go'.

Alternatively, permission has now been granted to substantially extend the property on both the ground and first floor. This would almost triple the size of the existing bungalow and provide over 2800 sq ft of accommodation - the result being a truly stunning home.

The property occupies a pleasant village setting, close to open countryside and within easy reach of local amenities. Great Barton is a much sought after village and offers an extensive range of local amenities including a superb primary school, general store, church, public house and village hall. Mevid is thought to have been built in the early 1960s, and was recently purchased by the present vendors with the intention of substantially extending the bungalow as part of their own 'Grand Design'. Having made some improvements and gained planning consent, the vendor's own circumstances have changed which means they are regrettably now unable to complete the project themselves. In our opinion, the existing bungalow has much to offer, with good sized rooms, a lovely setting and large gardens. As an alternative, the new plans would see the property almost tripling in size with the addition of 3 double bedrooms to the first floor including a master suite with a dressing room, en suite and balcony. The ground floor would include 2 further double bedrooms, a shower room, a study and a utility.The plans also include a very large kitchen/dining/living room - providing a wonderful family space and the perfect area for entertaining. Large bi-folding doors would lead out into the gardens and bathe the area in lots of natural light.

The gardens to the front of the bungalow are of a good size with an open plan design, being laid to lawn with some hard landscaping. A driveway provides plenty of parking and gives access to the single garage.A side access leads to the large rear gardens which afford a good degree of privacy and seclusion. The gardens have in the past been a very productive vegetable plot and include a greenhouse, garden shed and an area of orchard/ fruit trees towards the rear boundary.COUNCIL TAX - BAND DDirectionsFrom Bury St. Edmunds proceed north along the A143 Diss Road.
