The Property

Number 2 Stud Cottages is believed to date back to the mid 1850‘s and is constructed of flint and brick exterior walls underneath a pantile tiled roof. The cottage went under a significant improvement plan in 2004 with all major works being carried out. In addition, the cottage has been re-decorated in recent years.



On entering the property today, light and airy accommodation is provided and the internal condition is very well presented. The front wooden doorway leads into the main sitting room which provides access to the kitchen and to the stairwell. The sitting room is a cosy room with feature inset wood burning stove upon a terracotta tiled heath. To the left hand side of the fireplace is a large storage cupboard which recesses beside the chimney stack. The kitchen is fully fitted with shaker style units on two walls. Built into the units are an electric oven with four ring hob over and a 1½ bowl sink. The room has plenty of space for a fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and dining furniture also. Stairs rise to a small landing with doors opening into the two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom has pleasant field views and comprises a low level wc, panelled bath and hand wash basin. In addition, over the bath is an electric shower and heated towel rail to side. As the property is not listed it poses an ideal opportunity to extend, subject to the relevant consents.



Outside

The cottage sits on an attractively sized plot extending to just under 0.25 of an acre (sts). The private enclosed gardens lie to the front of the property with a driveway leading up to a parking area. The driveway is partly shared with the neighbour but is owned by number 2. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a stone pathway leading up to the shingled patio area. The current owner has built two stables and segregated the garden to create a small paddock area. In addition there are two small brick outbuildings.



For those with equestrian interests, we understand that there may be more land available locally to rent.



Location

The property is in a truly sublime rural location but benefits from a few neighbouring properties of similar flint design. Field views of open farmland look out towards Knettishall Heath Country Park which is less than half a mile away. The country park extends to over 430 acres and was created over 400 years ago. The cottage is situated next to various footpath networks which connect to the country park. For local amenities, the nearest village shop would be located in either Garboldisham or Hopton. Further facilities are available in both Diss and Thetford, which also have connecting trains to London, Norwich, Cambridge, Peterborough and Nottingham. Local schools include Garboldisham primary, Hopton primary and Diss High School. Further schools are located in the neighbouring towns of Thetford and Bury St Edmunds.
