About this property
Occupying an enviable position within a well-regarded residential area of Sudbury, is this two-bedroom detached bungalow set on a generous plot, offering exceptional potential for refurbishment and extension (subject to the necessary consents).
Rarely do opportunities arise to acquire a property of this nature, combining a peaceful setting with such close proximity to the town centre and its amenities.
The bungalow itself requires modernisation throughout, presenting a blank canvas for purchasers seeking to create a bespoke home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. The existing accommodation is well-proportioned, with scope to reconfigure and enhance, while the substantial plot provides excellent potential for enlargement or landscaping to create a superb outdoor space.
Externally, the property benefits from a particularly large garden, a key feature that sets it apart from many similar homes in the area. The plot offers ample off-road parking and the possibility to extend, making it ideal for those looking to add value or develop a long-term family residence.

Primary options include Tudor Church of England Primary School and St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School, both within approximately half a mile. Secondary education is provided by Ormiston Sudbury Academy and Thomas Gainsborough School, both within easy reach.
Transport Links
The property benefits from excellent connectivity. Sudbury railway station is located less than a mile away (approximately 0.4–0.6 miles), providing regular services along the Gainsborough Line to Marks Tey, where connections to London Liverpool Street are available.
There are also numerous local bus stops within a short walking distance, offering convenient links to surrounding towns and villages.
