The property is reached from across Wacton Common - a rural setting, roughly 0.5 mile from the main village. The common is perfect for dog walks and enjoying countryside living.
This small village has a church, a village hall. The recently by-passed Long Stratton can be found just a mile or so away and has all necessary amenities including Co-op supermarket, doctors, dentist, fuel station and schooling (from pre-school to high school) This small market town is found along the A140 and offers excellent access to Norwich and Diss, both of which have mainline rail links to London.
The Property
Detached, Grade II listed cottage which presents a superb opportunity to completely renovate and return back to a wonderful countryside family home. As can be seen from the floorplan, the accommodation is generous, with plenty of original features which provide focal points within the reception rooms - such as the prominent Inglenook fireplaces.
Outside
The property is approached via a metal gate and cattle grid, which opens onto the garden. Like the cottage, the grounds require work and are mature. Various trees and shrubs border the property.
