Mendham Lane, Harleston

Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN is this charming period house originally formed from a pair of semi-detached cottages. Located in a discreet location within the heart of Harleston, the property is set with delightful established gardens in a plot of approximately 0.22 acres.

Property - The property comprises an attractive detached period house, thoughtfully formed from a pair of semi-detached cottages. The layout retains a high degree of versatility and, if desired, could readily be reconfigured back into two separate dwellings, with no interconnection at first-floor level. This arrangement also lends itself particularly well to accommodating a dependent relative or providing independent space for guests.

The front door opens into a generous boot room, formerly an old smokehouse, which now provides excellent storage and a practical entrance to the home. This leads through to the principal kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units. The principal reception space is largely open plan, incorporating a sitting/dining room to the front with an open fireplace. The chimney stack is open on both sides, creating a natural connection through to a charming rear snug, where French doors open onto the garden. A door from the main reception room leads into the original second kitchen, now utilised as a useful utility room, beyond which is a bathroom. Stairs rise to the first floor and two bedrooms, while a second staircase from the snug leads to the principal bedroom area, comprising three further bedrooms and a bathroom.

To the rear, a detached barn offers significant potential for conversion or replacement, subject to the necessary planning consents. To the front, there is ample parking, including a covered parking area immediately outside the main entrance. The rear garden is a particularly delightful feature and a wonderful surprise in the heart of the town, laid principally to lawn and beautifully interspersed with a wide array of mature shrubs and flowering plants.
