This individual detached village house sits tucked away along a Private Road and enjoys tremendous rural views. The sophisticated 'Passive house build' holds many features which the owner says are low maintenance, saving half the water rates and reducing his heating bills. This house deserves special attention as it is a long way from being a standard detached house. The above average, sophisticated design and build incorporated a number of environmental efficiencies and came very close to achieving 'passive house' status. An air source heat pump supplies the property through an under floor heated ground floor with wet radiator system upstairs. Furthermore, a Brink Renovent Excellent, a mechanical ventilation unit with heat recovery system, has a quoted 95% efficiency by their Dutch manufacturers. On top of that, a rain water harvesting system controls storage of rain water from surface, gutters and downpipes for stocks to be used throughout the house, stored within a below ground tank, situated beneath the garage. The well maintained exterior is carried through internally and on arrival one is greeted by a welcoming reception hall from where doors lead off in all directions. The smart oak floors in much of the ground floor match architraves and internal doors and the main reception room features a character brick inglenook type fireplace. Designed with three first floor bedrooms, bathroom and en suite, the ground floor provides the option of a further bedroom or dining room depending on preferences. From the bedroom perspective, a shower room is conveniently positioned adjacent making this a perfectly viable arrangement. The kitchen is well proportioned and includes a dining area which is a good alternative to a formal dining room as one can enjoy the smart quartz topped units and view across the rear hedge. Naturally, windows are double glazed. Furthermore, cabling installed throughout the house include hardwired smoke detectors, telephone, television, Sky and Ethernet Cat 5a..Location2 Soers Close sits at the back of this Private Road, overlooking a meadow beyond which lies open countryside and views towards Eye across an outstanding rolling landscape. Being nicely set back from the road, any passing traffic is hardly noticeable and the property itself nicely discreet. The village is well served and includes a Community Store along with The Black Horse Pub, Village Hall, Parish Church and a well regarded Primary School within Hartismere catchment. Bus Routes link Thorndon with the surrounding area and the road system allows easy access to towns and villages such as Eye, Debenham, Stowmarket and Woodbridge along with Diss on the Norfolk Suffolk border. The mainline rail station at Diss provides a commuter service to London Liverpool Street. Neighbouring Eye provides a wide range of shops for everyday needs along with the Health Centre, Library, Community Art Centre and High School with Sixth Form Centre.
