This large village offers excellent facilities including sought-after primary and secondary schools, public houses, newsagent, post office, butcher/delicatessen, Co-op, vets, doctors surgery, hardware store and antique shops. In addition is a sports/community centre. The historic market town of Framlingham, with its medieval castle and further day-to-day facilities, is 7.5 miles to the east, and Eye is 8 miles to the north-west. Both offer excellent schooling and further shops and services. Kenton is 17 miles to the north of the county town of Ipswich, and from here there are direct trains to London’s Liverpool Street station that are scheduled to take just over the hour. The train can also be caught at Diss, 10 miles, or Stowmarket, which is within 12 miles. The Heritage Coast is within about 21 miles, with the popular centres of Southwold, Walberswick, Aldeburgh and Orford all within easy driving distance.

Description
Merryville is a most impressive single storey dwelling which is presented to a particularly high standard.  The original bungalow is believed to date from the 1970s, built of brick and block construction under a tiled roof. A stunning extension was added in 2021 to create a kitchen/dining room which has a glazed gable which takes full advantage of the views over the garden and farmland beyond.  The rest of the dwelling was refurbished at the same time and the property now has contemporary double glazed windows throughout and impressive bathrooms.

A front door provides access to the hallway that has built-in cupboards and doors off to the sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bedrooms and bathroom.  The particularly spacious sitting room is triple aspect and has sliding doors opening to the rear patio.  There is a fireplace which is home to a woodburning stove.  The hub of the property is the superb kitchen/dining room.  The kitchen area is fitted with a modern range of high and low level wall units where there is an integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, drinks fridge and range cooker with extractor fan above.  In addition, there is a woodblock work surface with an inset stainless steel sink with cold and boiling water taps.  Throughout the room are recessed spot lighting and a contemporary tiled floor.  The glazed gable which reaches into the apex overlooks the rear patio and a garden.  In one corner of the kitchen there is a fitted bar.  Off this is a lobby with utility cupboard which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

There are four double bedrooms, the first of which is dual aspect and has French doors opening to a south facing patio.  Off this is an en-suite with shower, WC and hand wash basin.  The three further bedrooms are all doubles and one has a fitted, mirror-fronted wardrobe and another a store which could be adapted into an en-suite.  The spacious bathroom has a roll top bath, shower, WC and hand wash basin.  

Outside
To the front of the dwelling is an extensive area of brick paved parking for a number of vehicles.  Adjacent to this is garden.  Beyond the parking area is fencing and a high level gate leading to a storage area which would be ideal for a motorhome or boat.  Here there are sheds and a five bar gate leading to the rear garden.  A sandstone patio abuts the rear of the dwelling and wraps around to one side.  Here there is also an area of decking and a hot tub.  There is a large area of lawn and a number of planted trees including a mature olive.  Here there is also an excellent studio with bifold doors to the front.  This has power and internet connected.  The rear garden measures approximately 115’ x 100’ and is fully enclosed by hedging and fencing.  It enjoys terrific views over the neighbouring countryside.  In all, the grounds extend to approximately 0.54 acres.
