DESCRIPTION
Holly Tree House is set in the south of Long Stratton, offering easy access to peaceful countryside whilst on the edge of the bustling town. The property is just 10 miles south of Norwich, with a short 20-minute drive to the city. For those commuting, Diss and Norwich stations offer direct London train links. Long Stratton itself is a welcoming town, known for its friendly community and local events.
A home with history: In 1841 the land was purchased by a builder from the old Long Stratton Manor Estate to build his own family home. Since its origin it has been owned by several craftsmen who have left their legacy of fine workmanship as they carefully extended and enhanced the building. Notably in 1875, the house was purchased by a carpenter who added the elegant staircase with curving handrails. Many of the original period details remain, from the distinctive lounge shutters to the stunning fireplaces.
Recent renovations include modern plumbing and electrics as well as a new boiler in 2024. The current owners have also added eco-friendly upgrades such as solar panels, a battery system, and an electric vehicle charge point, making this the perfect home for those who appreciate both the past and future.
