Location The village has a good range of day-to-day facilities including a mini market, public houses, church, dentist, plant centre and primary school. With its location, Hopton provides good access to a choice of further education in the state and private sectors in Suffolk and Norfolk. The surrounding countryside is very attractive and offers numerous walks with Knettishall Heath just a short distance away where three of the country's long distance walks meet. Hopton is well placed for a number of larger towns and cities including Bury St Edmunds (14 miles), Diss (9 miles), Norwich (27 miles) and Cambridge (42 miles) with the journey much easier now with the A11 fully dualled and there are train stations at Diss and Thetford with commuting access to London (Liverpool Street and Kings Cross).
The Property As the name suggests, this was once the village forge and the smithy building remains largely untouched with its two forge fireplaces in situ. It is attached to the house and would make a superb extra living room or perhaps home studio/office area. The rest of the house is well presented and ready to move straight into. It displays a number of period features including the fireplaces and exposed timbers. The house is bright and on the rear is an Amdega conservatory looking into the south facing garden. The first floor has four bedrooms one of which has an ensuite shower, plus the family bathroom. The landing is large enough for part to be used as an additional working area. Overall this property provides good family accommodation with a sense of style.
Outside The house is set quite central to its 0.27ac plot. To the front is a shingle drive for a number of cars. Shrub beds giving privacy and leads to grassed areas. The grass wraps around the side to the rear garden where there is a mix of grass, trees and shrubs. At the back is a large shed/workshop. The rear garden has attractive views over a rolling landscape of farm and woodland.
