Description
The Red House is a delightful Grade II listed townhouse situated on the edge of the highly sought-after market town of Bungay.

Offering a rare combination of town and country living, it presents an exceptional opportunity for a couple or family seeking a spacious and characterful home.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a sitting room with feature fireplace, a formal dining room with fireplace, and an impressive garden room with double doors opening onto the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room, located within an extension, is well appointed with a central island and bi-fold doors leading outside.

Extending to almost an acre, the grounds form a particular feature of the property, backing onto attractive open countryside and enjoying a delightful sense of space and tranquillity. A variety of mature trees and shrubs provide further interest and, despite the edge-of-town setting, create a good degree of privacy.
The outbuildings are a significant asset, offering excellent storage and workshop space, together with potential for alternative uses or conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
