4 bedroom detached house for sale

Located to the east of the village the property is found in a pleasing position within walking distance of the centre of the village but also to the open rural countryside and attractive Dickleburgh Moor. This traditional Norfolk village lies only 5 or so miles to the north of Diss and within the beautiful south Norfolk countryside. Over the years the village has proved to be a sought after and popular location whilst still retaining a good range of local amenities and facilities by way of having a village shop/post office/convenience store, public house, bus service to Diss, fish and chip shop, fine church, garage and particularly well regarded schooling. A further more extensive range of day to day amenities and facilities can be found within the historic market town of Diss.

Believed to date back to the 18th century, this wonderful three-bedroom detached home is rich with history. Once forming part of a girl’s school founded in approximately 1883, the property was later taken over by the waifs and strays society in 1888. Eventually the property was converted into a private dwelling and now provides characterful and versatile accommodation measuring just under 1700 square feet having been extended in approximately 2015. The original part of the cottage is of clay lump construction and is heated by an oil fired boiler to radiators. When stepping into the property, you’re greeted by a charming entrance hall with a Victorian style tile floor, high ceilings and coving that all treat you to a welcoming splash of character and set the tone for what’s to come. Positioned to the front of the house on the ground floor, you find a well-appointed reception room with Victorian style radiators, stripped floorboards, and an attractive fireplace. To the right from the entrance hallway, you find a lounge and dining area which is separated by an exposed brick fireplace with a log burner inset, this space is bright and airy with wood style flooring and leads into the kitchen. The kitchen is a good size having been extended and now offers plenty of cupboard and drawer space. The extension carried out has not only increased the size of the kitchen, but also created a utility room, shower room and another reception which could be utilised as a bedroom providing the possibility of downstairs living. All of the kitchen and the extension is heated by underfloor heating; this is a wet system run off the boiler. Rising to the first floor you find three good size bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Sitting in a plot of approximately 0.25 acre, the property is tucked away behind a brick wall with double gates that provide secure off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The driveway runs all the way down the side of the cottage and leads to a detached cart lodge that is half cart lodge and half workshop/storage area. The main garden which is found at the end of the driveway and to the right is a pleasing leafy green environment that is mainly lawn with a range of trees and plants. The garden is enclosed and treated to a great deal of privacy and really is a charming place suited to any gardening enthusiast.

AGENTS NOTE: There is a TPO on a tree within the garden.
