Ryston End, Downham Market, PE38

A BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED, EXTREMELY VERSATILE, detached home positioned on a PLOT MEASURING AROUND ½ OF AN ACRE and located in one of the most ENVIABLE AND PRIVATE LOCATIONS, just on the outskirts of the Town. Constructed in the 1960s, ‘Cedar Lodge’ would have appeared as one of the most modernistic, contemporary homes of its era. BOASTING LARGE WINDOWS and enjoying more of an open-plan layout, it stood out from its neighbouring properties as it still does to this day. The current owner has retained much of this originality but has implemented a series of improvements, modernising both kitchens and bathrooms and making the most of the 2000 square feet of accommodation that exists. Inside, the central, reception hall is currently utilised as a games room with a large window within a seating area enjoying the view over the rear gardens. The main sitting room is filled with natural light from 3 separate aspects and this space enjoys a wood burning stove set within the central fireplace. The 21ft kitchen/dining room spans from front to back and provides generous levels of cooking and dining space with the added practicality of an enclosed utility area just to the side. Upstairs, each of the 4 bedrooms are of a true, double proportion with the largest room benefiting from built-in wardrobes along with a spacious, newly configured en-suite. The versatile aspect of the property comes from the creation of a separate, self-contained area, separately accessed to the side and providing a single bedroom/living room, kitchen and bathroom. This would be straight forward to incorporate back within the main house or could produce additional living for someone. Set back, accessed and admired from the quiet road in front, the driveway extends down past sizeable front lawns and leads to plentiful levels of parking along and detached garage. Finally, positioned to the rear and enclosed by mature hedging, the gardens provide a wonderful level of mature lawns, seating areas and established trees and shrubs, all combining to produce a level of tranquillity reflective more of Village life than of somewhere which is so close to the Town’s amenities.
