Fairview
Fairview is a detached, older period property, of clay lump construction with rendered exterior, offering scope for modernisation and improvement. It was believed to be originally two semi-detached cottages, combined into one dwelling in the 1970’s.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with two receptions and two bedrooms in the original cottage, and has an extension to the rear with a kitchen, hall, wet room, on the ground floor a bathroom and third bedroom on the first floor. There is also a spacious uPVC conservatory across the back. There is approximately 108 sq metres / 1173 sq ft of internal living accommodation.

There is oil-fired central heating, via a boiler in a deep cupboard, along with fireplaces in each of the reception rooms, and a deep cupboard upstairs housing the hot water cylinder. There are uPVC double glazed replacement windows and doors throughout.

In general the property is very dated and in below average condition, particularly upstairs, in need of complete modernization – but this now presents a new owner an amazing opportunity to carry out renovations here to make it their own.

Please note there is evidence of mould in the first floor bedrooms, we understand the first floor rooms have not been used for some time, and one bedroom also has polystyrene ceiling tiles, as such there will be works required to remove these, as well as the general cosmetic updating.

Outside
Outside, the property benefits from a large attractive plot of approx. ½ acre, with space to the side and rear of the cottage for plenty of off-road parking.

To the front is a small garden area and pond. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with some established shrubs, mature hedging and trees. To the left side of the cottage is a semi-derelict clay lump outbuilding. Within this, there is a steel oil tank serving the central heating (not tested).

There is space for potentially further extending, or potentially development of the plot, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

Agent’s Note
The neighbouring cottage was demolished some years ago and two modern homes built in its place.

Location
The property is on the edge of Hopton, within a cluster of homes to the northern outskirts of the village centre along Common Road, the B111.

Hopton is a small attractive village approximately 14 miles to the north of Bury St. Edmunds, which has local amenities including a shop, hairdressers, coffee shop and public house. Close by is Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve.
