The village is offers a variety of character and modern homes is offers numerous countryside walks in the village, or nearby Redgrave, Lopham Fen, North Lopham or Kenninghall. The village location results in good, speedy access between the Market towns of Diss and Thetford along the A1066. Diss, just 5 miles east, is a market town on the Norfolk/Suffolk border with a surprising number of independent specialist shops and businesses providing a wide variety of goods and services including three national brand supermarkets.

The regional, cultural and business centre of Norwich lies approximately 25 miles to the north.

The property

The house benefits from two generous reception rooms, both with beamed ceilings, yet differing with their contrasting fireplaces. The inviting living room boasts an imposing Inglenook fireplace and is a great place to 'cosy up' and enjoy a winters' evening, whilst the dining room presents a great place to entertain friends and family in a more formal setting. The kitchen/diner, over looking the rear, has a modern feel with range of fitted units and integrated appliances which is also supported by the useful utility room, allowing access into the rear garden. The first floor is light and neutrally decorated, with the landing leading off to all four bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom which benefits from a separate shower cubicle tucked away at the end.  

The garage and annex

Built roughly 6 years ago, replacing an older timber garage, this modern building has been cleverly designed allowing it to be used or altered to fit a multitude of uses. The main garage section measures 20' x 18' and has an electric up and over door'. Adjacent is an entrance lobby, open plan kitchen area and a ground floor shower room. Stairs lead up to a bright office space, well lit by large Velux skylights, a theme which continues in the double bedroom, which sits above the garage space. The annex has its own separate council tax band and is 'ready to go' for self contained living, ancillary to the main house.
