Heath Road, Winfarthing, Diss

A charming and sensitively extended Grade II Listed country cottage with delightful established gardens and open field views.

Property - The vendors have superbly extended the original thatched cottage with a sensitive and characterful extension, cleverly fusing the period charm of the principal house with the needs of modern living. Great attention to detail has been paid to how the house flows as a whole. A meandering path from the front drive leads through the front garden to the front door where there is an attractive entrance porch.

The ground floor of the original cottage is a substantial open reception room with a wealth of exposed timbers and large inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. The middle section of the house contains a delightful bathroom with freestanding roll-top bath. There is a useful utility room and a spacious dining room with stairs to the first floor and French doors to the garden. The kitchen is fitted in an attractive range of painted wall and base units with a space for a range cooker. There is a door to the side. Off the kitchen is a snug or playroom. On the first floor the principal bedroom is at the rear and enjoys wonderful rural views. There is a shower room next to it. In the original section of the cottage are two further characterful double bedrooms.

The gardens are a real highlight of the property having been superbly landscaped by the current vendors. They have been cleverly zoned to give the feeling of outdoor rooms and comprehensively planted with an array of shrubs and trees. There is a large terrace and pergola for alfresco entertaining plus an excellent summerhouse for relaxing evenings.
