Short Green, Winfarthing

Occupying a delightful setting this period farm house backs onto rural fields, offering stunning views over the unspoilt rural countryside. Located to the outskirts of Winfarthing, this well-established village is just 6 miles northwest of Diss, the village still retains a strong and active local community helped by having local amenities including schooling, a public house and fine church. A more extensive range of amenities and facilities can be found within the historic market town of Diss, set amid the beautiful Waveney Valley and with the benefit of a mainline railway station connecting to London Liverpool Street and Norwich. 

This Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date back to the 1600s and parts may be earlier, offering plenty of charm and character, showcasing a wealth of exposed period features. The accommodation is well arranged, with generously proportioned rooms spanning approximately 1,700 square feet across two floors. Heating is provided via an oil-fired central heating system and the property is connected to private drainage.

At ground floor level, this charming farmhouse features two well-sized reception rooms, both showcasing beautiful inglenook fireplaces and a wealth of exposed timbers and beams. The spacious kitchen/diner offers an extensive range of fitted storage units and has access to the conservatory extension, which overlooks the large south-facing gardens. Additionally, the ground floor benefits from a shower room. Moving to the first floor, all bedrooms are generously proportioned to accommodate double beds, with the principal bedroom notably larger and equally adorned with striking exposed timbers. A family bathroom is also situated on the first floor, completing the accommodation of this characterful property.

Externally, the gardens cover approximately 0.60 acres. At the front of the property, you'll find formal gardens and a driveway. To the rear lies a large lawned area, enclosed by fencing. Beyond this is a hardstanding area and a Dutch barn, both included in the sale. The barn and surrounding space could be converted into additional garden space if not required for its current purpose.

The property can also be purchased collectively with two barn conversions situated to the west, which are currently for sale. These may be purchased separately or as part of a combined offering.
