A six-bedroom home situated on one of the most covetable roads in Beccles has come up for sale at a guide price of £850,000.

The property, known as Pytchley, is located on Waveney Road and has been in the same family for several decades.

It is now for sale and director of selling agents, Frank Estate Agency, says it's one of the best homes in the area.

“If you’re looking for the best house on the best street, then this is it,” says Natalie Ward-Kerr.

“The timeless grandeur seams perfectly with little pockets of cosiness, while the light just seems to know what beautiful little scenes to highlight.”

 The property was originally built as a headmaster’s house and has retained much of its original charm and distinctive style, with notably high ceilings, ornate windows and a grand hallway, which links together the main reception rooms.

Accommodation includes a large sitting room, dining room and study on the ground floor, along with an Aga-fitted kitchen and an adjacent breakfast room. There is also a separate reading room or library and a good-sized conservatory towards the rear.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom, which are all accessed by a spacious landing. The master bedroom also has an en suite shower room.

Upstairs, one large room fills the majority of the second floor, which Natalie says could be great for teenagers, as it offers some independence from the rest of the house.

Alternatively, it could be reconfigured to create a new master suite, as the floor also has a second shower room and the property's sixth - and smallest - bedroom, which could be used as a dressing room.

Outside, the gardens are arguably one of the best features of the house, having been beautifully landscaped with a wide selection of mature shrubs and greenery. Within it there is a large magnolia tree, which can be seen from the sitting room, and a terrace to the side.

It also has an ornate pond, landscaped borders and a detached garage, which sits behind the driveway and provides off-road parking.
