The Property

Town Cottage is a listed timber frame and brick built property with rendered elevations under a pantiled roof. The property dates back past the 16th century and has been used for many purposes over the years including a shop and as a private residence. Having been maintained, the cottage would now benefit from a sympathetic scheme of improvement and updating. The cottage offers a great re-development opportunity and is ideal for those looking to put their own stamp on a property. A stepped doorway opens into the main sitting room which is a light room, owing to the curved bay window to front aspect. The room has an abundance of period features including exposed studwork, a large bressumer beam and fireplace with inset stove. An inner hallway provides access to the kitchen and dining room which occupies most of the rear extension. The kitchen/dining room is fully functionable but would benefit from being re-fitted. With views to rear aspect and a pitched roofline adding to the spacious open plan feel, the kitchen has a number of built in appliances, including fridge, freezer and cooker and an inset Aga. Leading off the dining room is the useful utility and shower room. To the first floor are three double bedrooms, all leading off the main landing and have original floorboards and exposed studwork. The bathroom comprises a white 3-piece suite including a roll top style bath, hand wash basin and low level close coupled WC. Please note that the property does have a flying freehold above the neighbouring wedding dress shop to the first floor.



Outside

Overall the total plot size amounts to just shy of ¼ of an acre. On approach, a driveway leads down the side of the property, to the rear and straight down to the outbuilding. The driveway is owned by the property, but please note that neighbouring properties enjoy a right of way across the driveway. The outbuilding is in disrepair but would make a good size garage, workshop or hobbies room. The outbuilding measures approximately 13ft7 x 20ft. Beyond the outbuilding are the formal and private gardens for the property and are roughly square in shape. The gardens have previously been immaculately presented with a wide variety of trees, plants and shrubs.



Location

Town cottage is situated in the village centre which provides excellent access to facilities within the village. The facilities include a village store, butcher, baker, post office, hair dressers, three pubs, a doctors surgery, gym, swimming pool and sporting facilities. The village has schooling up to GCSE level with further sixth forms and colleges located in the neighbour market towns and cities. The neighbouring towns of Harleston, Diss and Framlingham all have further amenities with a good range of shopping, social and leisure facilities. A mainline rail station is located in Diss on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line with a journey to London of around 90 minutes.
