53 Friars

Omar Kingfisher

Other -

Tucked among mature trees in a quiet cul-de-sac on Friars, this 2007 Omar Kingfisher measures 40ft by 20ft and enjoys good views of the River Orwell, along with privacy provided by shrubs. Finished in rich brown timber cladding on a brick base, a driveway with two parking spaces sit right beside the lodge. This holiday home benefits from our 12 month holiday licence, so can be enjoyed throughout the year.

The front door opens into a carpeted hallway with a built-in cupboard for coats and storage, and doors lead off to every room.

The open-plan living space is the heart of the lodge, bringing the lounge, dining area and kitchen together under a timber-clad ceiling with recessed spotlights. Angled corner windows at the lounge and dining ends, along with further windows to the front and side, keep the room bright, and two sets of French doors open straight onto the raised deck, so on warmer days the living space carries on outside.

The kitchen is fitted with cream shaker-style units, wood-effect worktops arranged around a breakfast bar and a tiled splashback. It has a gas hob with an electric oven and chimney extractor, an integrated upright fridge freezer and a dishwasher, which is included in the sale. A tall larder cupboard adds to the storage, and a window over the sink and a rooflight bring in plenty of daylight.

The principal bedroom has a window looking out over the river, a rooflight, its own walk-in wardrobe with hanging space and shelving, and an en-suite shower room with a large thermostatic shower and chrome heated towel rail. The second bedroom, a good sized twin room, features a side window and rooflight. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over and folding glass screen, a vanity unit with basin and a chrome heated towel rail.

An integrated storage shed, reached from outside, holds an AEG washing machine (included in the sale) and the gas combi boiler, which was installed in 2023. There is also plenty of space for bikes, golf clubs and other leisure equipment, to make the most of the available facilities here at Priory Park.

Outside, the raised deck sits on a brick base with a timber balustrade and steps down to a paved path that runs all the way around the lodge, with an outside tap close to hand. It is an easy place to sit out among the trees, watch the light change over the Orwell and let the day slow down.
