Property Summary

The Chestnuts is a beautifully presented NO CHAIN three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home occupying a prominent position in the heart of the sought-after village of Stonham Aspal. Offering over 1,500 sq ft of bright and versatile accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully improved and maintained by the current owners during their long term ownership, including a stunning kitchen extension with vaulted ceiling and aluminium bi-fold doors opening onto a private south-westerly facing courtyard garden. Further enhancements include a recently refurbished bathroom, replacement external combination boiler and a newly renewed rear slate roof.
The spacious accommodation combines period character with modern convenience and benefits from planning permission that was previously implemented for the reconfiguration of the staircase and creation of a fourth bedroom, offering future potential for purchasers if desired.
