Set back from the road upon a pleasing individual position, the property is situated towards the south of the village. This pretty and unspoilt village was bypassed a number of years ago and still retains the benefit of a fine church and community hall.  The adjoining village of Mellis also has the benefit of a public house and outstanding Ofsted rated schooling, (the agent further advises the property is within the Hartismere school catchment area). The historic market town of Diss is found within easy reach lying some six miles to the north and offers an extensive and diverse range of many day to day amenities and facilities along with the benefit of a mainline railway station with regular/direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

The property is a period cottage believed to date back to the 1800s, with some additions in the 1960s. It requires modernisation but has great potential due to its versatile accommodation of approximately 1,350 sq ft. The first floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms, a large family bathroom and ample storage. The three reception rooms at ground floor level are spacious, offering flexible living space, alongside the kitchen/diner and ground floor WC.

The total plot size is around 0.45 acres (sts). Outline planning permission has been granted for a detached dwelling on the northern boundaries by Mid Suffolk County Council under reference Ref DC/23/00011, dated December 21, 2022.

This exceptional opportunity not only encompasses the potential to refurbish and modernise a characterful period cottage but also offers an excellent opportunity for new construction, adding significant value to the property. With the current planning permission, the property offers excellent potential for development, dual living, rental investment or resale.

Our services encompass all aspects of residential sales and lettings, including property management. We will give expert advice and assessments which allow clients to make informed decisions. Whittley Parish was founded by Hilary Whittley and Kevin Parish in 1994 to offer a refreshingly different and exceptional personal service as an alternative to the corporate way of selling houses. We are delighted that Whittley Parish continues to trade on these values today and has now successfully listed over 10,000 residential homes. With family roots still at the heart of all operations, Alex Parish ensures the original ethos and vision continues to run throughout the company’s core, creating lasting relationships with all our clients. 2001 saw the opening of our Residential Lettings and Management Department, which is now a thriving part of Whitley Parish, providing high levels of service to Landlords and Tenants alike and offering a variety of different packages to suit every requirement. A few years later in 2007, our Long Stratton branch opened enabling us to further expand our coverage into South Norfolk towards Norwich. Since then, the Long Stratton branch has joined our Diss office as market leaders in their respective areas. From the day we first opened our door at the Diss office in 1994, we have striven to be a company that our staff are proud to work for and our teams fully share our understanding of and commitment to, never comprising the personal service that our reputation has been built upon. We will always put customers first and are continually improving everything we do to deliver a cost effective, proactive and transparent service. By supporting our people with the best processes, cutting edge technology, marketing and training we believe we can exceed expectations. We continue to improve and learn from feedback to strive to be the best at what we do and achieve.
