Yaxley Road, Mellis, IP23

Set back from the road, approached via a long drive and electric gates sits this substantial, individual 5 bedroom house set in just under one third of an acre. This tremendous setting has fields adjoining across which views towards Thornham can be enjoyed.

Hunters Moon has for many years been the family home of the current owners during which time the house was enlarged beyond that built by its original builder/owner. Extending to a little over 2800 square feet, the house offers extensive living space and presents an imposing presence upon arrival. The property represents an ideal opportunity to create a statement home worthy of these current times following selective updating.

The internal layout includes two well-proportioned reception rooms along with kitchen breakfast room and study, all off a central initial reception hall. Upstairs, an undeniably large master bedroom has an equally roomy en suite bathroom with shower along with a balcony taking full advantage of the southerly views. It is preceded by a fitted out Dressing Room complete with floor to ceiling wardrobes. Each of the remaining four bedrooms are all double in nature with Bedroom 2 being en suite with shower room.

Integral to the design of the house is the double garage along with an office and utility room. Outside, the driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and being l'shape in design, allows for parking of cars to be tucked away to one side so as to not spoil the approach to the house via the electric gates.

Location

Mellis is known for Suffolk's largest expanse of common land around which the majority of properties are found enjoying views across a traditional grassland setting. Hunters Moon is set well back from the road along its privately owned driveway which although provides access to two neighbouring houses, has private electric gates leading through to the grounds and driveway. The gardens adjoin open fields to the south over which the house has extensive views towards Thornham. Mellis is conveniently located to the west of Eye and south of Diss and those requiring access to the wider area are well served by the A143 and A140 roads leading east west and north south respectively. The village has a varied and active community with traditional activities throughout the year and supports a pub, The Railway Tavern, an extremely popular Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding), Village Hall and Parish Church. Surrounded by a network of quiet country lanes, tracks and footpaths, the area is a haven for those seeking a quiet country life and with opportunities to walk or ride, either bicycles or horses. Nearby Eye provides main shopping facilities, Health Centre & High School (with Sixth Form and Ofsted Outstanding rating). At Diss, a mainline rail station serves the commuter with trains to London Liverpool Street.
