## Description

**Location** **** The bungalow sits towards the end of Roydon Road which runs to the west of the town of Diss, a bustling market town with weekly markets in the market square and auctions at TW Gaze auction house. Diss sits on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and offers a surprising number of independent specialist shops and businesses providing a wide variety of goods and services, including three national brand supermarkets. The town also benefits from a mainline rail station which provides regular commuter services to Norwich, Ipswich and London Liverpool Street, located to the east of the town centre. There is well regarded schooling at Diss infant, junior and high schools and there are also excellent primary schools at the nearby villages of Roydon and Bressingham. The town also offers a wide range of sporting, leisure and social activities including an 18 hole golf course and further amenities can be found at the regional retail, cultural and business centre of Norwich which lies 25 miles to the north via the A140.

**The** **Property** **** The bungalow was built to a good specification but is now in need of a scheme of updating, to include new fixtures and fittings, décor and floor coverings. Windows are double glazed aluminium framed and may also benefit from replacement. The layout is well designed and there are ample fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms, and a separate coat cupboard in the inner hallway. The property faces north and therefore the principal rooms to the rear have the benefit of a southerly aspect, especially the sitting room which has a south/westerly aspect,

**Outside** **** The property is tucked away off Louies Lane in a small cul-de-sac serving two other properties. There is a single garage to the side of the house with an electric up-and-over door and pedestrian gate to the rear garden. The gardens are gravelled for easy maintenance and planted with evergreen shrubs to add interest and colour. A high brick wall gives added screening and security.

**Services** **** Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity are connected to the property. Gas fired central heating. Please note that the services/appliances/central heating and heating system/plumbing and electrical installations have not been tested by the selling agents and the purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the condition and warranty of these items.

**Directions** **** From the Agent's office proceed to the top of Market Hill, cross over the staggered crossroads on the B1077 and proceed along Roydon Road. Continue past the TW Gaze Auction Rooms and take the first turning on the right into Louies Lane. Continue along the road for a short way and take a right hand turn into the cul-de-sac which sits between two bungalows and the property will be found on the right hand side.

**Viewing** **** Strictly by appointment with TW Gaze.

**Freehold** ****
