1 Boxford Lane

Built in 1936, 1 Boxford Lane is a substantial detached bungalow that has been significantly extended and modified, providing an individual family home which has much appeal.

Most of the improvements were commissioned by the current owners in 2014, which includes a substantial rear extension which forms the entire sitting room, with wood burner and full height sliding doors leading onto the main garden. At the same time, the boot room was added, linking to a former garage which is now a substantial workshop. Three skylights were placed in the central part of the main roof, which provides much natural light to the central dining room and the kitchen / breakfast room. The latter is comprehensively fitted with hardwood work tops, numerous oak units and integral appliances which includes a Rangemaster cooker. A central kitchen ‘island’ of black granite provides further storage via additional base units of oak. The adjacent utility room provides further extensive storage via additional hardwood worksurfaces and oak units, with dishwasher and oil-fired boiler.

The three double bedrooms are to one side of the bungalow which are all served by a modernised shower room and an additional bathroom. The inner hall gives access to the front roof void, which is currently used a study with seating areas.

Outside, ample off-road parking is to the front which leads to an attached double cart lodge garage which was also built by the existing owners in 2016. The main private garden is to the rear, which consists of an area of extensive decking with steps leading onto an area of lawn. Set on a paved plinth to one corner is a summer house / studio which has power and heating. The entire garden enjoys views over the roof tops of Boxford, with Groton village as a rural backdrop. In all, the property covers some 0.26 acres.
