6 bedroom for sale, Ashfield Sandy Lane, Beccles, NR34

This distinctive home sits at the end of a quiet land in the village of Hulver. It began as a par of Victorian cottages. Three phases of extension later, it is a detached Suffolk-pink house of approximately 1,851 sq ft, with six bedrooms, three reception rooms and 0.55 acres of grounds.

The EPC rating of B reflects substantial investment in green energy capacity—an air-source heat pump; a solar PV array feeding a Tesla Powerwall battery; a Zappi EV charger. Plus a wood burner for the coldest evenings and a roof newly replaced in traditional red pantiles. Through the summer months, the array and battery typically cover the house's entire electricity use. Surplus solar energy is sold to the grid on a Smart Export Guarantee tariff, so whenever the sun shines brightly, the house earns money. Here, no oil or gas is needed and fossil-fuel prices remain somebody else's problem.

Stepping Inside…

The entrance hall opens to reception rooms and a kitchen. The main sitting room is centred on the wood burner and remains cool in summer and snug in winter. The second sitting room provides flexibility for family living —as a playroom, games room or TV lounge—keeping youngsters’ noise a door away from grown-up contemplation. The kitchen and second lounge open into a bright sunroom, with uplifting views of open fields, water meadows and wide Suffolk skies. You are not overlooked by neighbours in any direction. The kitchen shares the garden view and connects to a utility room, downstairs cloakroom and double garage. The double garage could become a self-contained annexe for multi-generational living (STP).

Heading Upstairs…

A central galleried landing serves six bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes; a family bathroom serves the rest. Whether used as family bedrooms, home offices with a garden view, guest rooms or hobby spaces, this first-floor accommodation provides exceptional flexibility with no building work required.

The Grounds…

The garden has been recently landscaped for low maintenance and easy hospitality—sweeping lawns alongside paved areas for outside entertainment; established borders and mature trees; a large pond carefully set back from the main garden. Plus plenty of room for the keen gardener to set up a greenhouse, sheds or vegetable beds. Two driveways provide parking for at least four cars. The Zappi charger twinned with solar panels means your EV can run on sunlight during the summer months. From the garden, you can hear wood pigeons or catch glimpses of horses in nearby fields.
