The Property

Melbourne House was originally built in the mid 19th century and like most houses of the Georgian era, it benefits from spacious rooms, high ceilings, wooden floorboards and sizeable windows, allowing natural light to flood into the house. The property has been de-listed in recent years and therefore is now not registered as a listed building. The property requires a good amount of work but with some imagination it could make a fantastic family home and Melbourne House would return to its former Georgian splendour. Externally the property features painted brick elevations under a pantile roof and on the main facade there is a transom & pillar storm porch. The current accommodation extends to just under 2500 sq.ft including the former garage/games room and is arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises three large reception rooms, the kitchen/dining room, utility and rear conservatory. The former garage at the back of the property has been modified into a games room but subject to planning, it could be suitable as an annexe or further living accommodation. On the 1st floor are four bedrooms arrange around the main landing. The master bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom and a spacious walk in wardrobe. At the end of the landing is a family bathroom, with separate wc.



Outside

The gardens and grounds are very much a feature of the property and extend to just ¼ of an acre (sts), featuring a variety of specimen trees and shrubs, with a conifer hedge to the east and north boundaries. At the rear of the property is a good amount of tarmac driveway, which could accommodate a number of vehicles and leads up to the former garage. The gardens remain largely a blank canvas and offer the potential to craft and scape a sizable garden, within this rare town location.



Location

The house is positioned in a popular part of town, with excellent proximity to both the town centre and the railway station. Diss is approximately half way between Norwich & Ipswich, just off the A140 with other good road links to Bury on the A143 and Thetford on the A1066. The town centre is a short walk away with day-to-day facilities and a bustling Friday market. The town features a number of national brands and chains with further independent shops. The town has schooling ranging from infant, to sixth form level with additional schools available in the neighbouring Eye, Bury St. Edmunds and Harleston. Norwich, 23 miles north is home to a wonderful high street and two shopping centres with further education at the University of East Anglia. The railway station has connection services to Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester, Stowmarket and London Liverpool Street.
