THE PROPERTY
Believed to date back to around 1860 this lovely period house has been well cared for and improved by the current owner who has lived here since 2003. The property stands in a prominent location in the centre of the village affording easy access to the village amenities on offer. Presenting colour washed rendered elevations beneath a pantiled roof, the accommodation which retains many original character features, extends to about 1,158 sq ft. The front door leads straight into the sitting room but is rarely used, as the back door leads into a rear hallway with welcome mat, stairs to the first floor with storage cupboard beneath and doors to ground floor rooms. The sitting room benefits from a secondary glazed original sash window to the front elevation and a fireplace with tiled hearth and inset gas fired log burning stove with timber mantle shelf above. The dining room also has a secondary glazed sash window to the front and a feature fireplace. A door conveniently leads back to the kitchen/breakfast room which has a secondary glazed bay window to the rear and a small obscure window to the side. The kitchen is well fitted with base and eye level units and shelves, with wood block work surfaces, inset stainless steel sink and drainer unit. The former high mantel fireplace affords space for the electric cooker with tiled splashbacks and an extractor fan above. To the side of this the airing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder with linen storage shelving. To the other side of the rear hall is the utility room with oil fired boiler, tiled flooring, fitted shelving, upvc double glazed window to the side and space and plumbing for a washing machine. There is also a cloakroom with upvc double glazed window to the side, low flush wc, wash hand basin and cloaks hanging rail with cupboards above. Off the first floor landing there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a separate bath and a corner shower cubical, wash hand basin, WC and radiator towel rail. All four rooms benefit from secondary glazed original sash windows with bedroom two, which is currently used as an office, also having a single glazed window to the side.
OUTSIDE
The house is set back from the street behind a charming wrought iron fence and flint wall enclosed front garden. To the rear a side gate gives access to the garden which is delightfully presented being mainly block paved with a raised flower boarder containing an original old water pump which is still in full working order pumping water up from the capped well below. There are further flower and shrub borders and a trellis fence obscuring the view of the garden shed. There is access across the track to the side of the house to the property’s parking space to the rear of the garden.
LOCATION
Clematis House stands centrally within the village on the right hand side of the track and next to the former Moriarty’s Cafe (which has permission passed to be converted to a house). Walsham Le Willows is a particularly attractive village with a thriving community and is well appointed with many amenities including this recently opened café, an award winning butcher and delicatessen, two public houses, a hardware/country supplies merchants and a fine parish church. There is good access to the A14 leading to the A11(M11) and there is a fast and regular mainline service from Diss and from Stowmarket to London’s Liverpool Street. The nearby cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds has an excellent range of shopping and cultural amenities including the recently restored Georgian Theatre Royal, Abbey Gardens, Art Gallery and Museum and also offers numerous leisure facilities.
