3 bed detached house for sale

Occupying a plot of approximately a quarter of an acre (subject to survey), the property enjoys a central position in the heart of Hollesley village, just a short stroll from the local supermarket and within easy reach of the beautiful coastline at Shingle Street. This well-proportioned home further benefits from ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a spectacular landscaped south-facing rear garden measuring approximately 91ft wide by 75ft deep, double-glazing throughout, and oil-fired central heating.
