Location
The house is found heading north of Diss towards the edge of the town and is roughly a 15 minute walk from the shops. Diss has various facilities on offer including an excellent range of local and national shops, sporting facilities, health centre, library, fine church, bustling auction room and schooling to sixth form level. There is a mainline railway station providing frequent commuter services to Norwich, Ipswich and London Liverpool Street (in around 90 minutes). The regional retail, cultural and business centre of Norwich lies approximately 23 miles to the north and the historic town of Bury St Edmunds some 24 miles to the south west. The Suffolk Heritage Coast at Aldeburgh, Southwold and Walberswick is about an hour's drive away.

The Property
This handsome detached period home offers beautifully proportioned accommodation, retaining much of the character and charm associated with a property of its age.
Stepping inside, a welcoming central hallway immediately sets the tone, with decorative pamment tiled flooring providing an attractive period feature. Doors open into two well-proportioned reception rooms at the front of the house, both offering excellent versatility, with one equally suited for use as a fourth bedroom, home office or snug if required. Continuing through the hallway, the space broadens towards the staircase, with access to a useful utility room and separate WC, both benefitting from additional storage cupboards. At the heart of the home is the inviting dining/breakfast room, where a chimney breast and wood-burning stove create a natural focal point. An opening leads through to the kitchen, fitted with a good range of units providing ample storage and preparation space, together with a door opening directly into the garden. Upstairs, the bright landing enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear and leads to three comfortable double bedrooms. Completing the first-floor accommodation is a particularly impressive family bathroom; generously proportioned and beautifully presented, it incorporates both a bath and separate shower and is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the house.

Outside
A driveway to the side of the property provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the brick-built garage. A pathway and gate give access to the front door, while an area of lawn extends alongside the house towards a secure gate opening into the rear garden. The garden is a real delight and has clearly evolved with both enjoyment and practicality in mind. Immediately adjoining the house is a private, hard landscaped courtyard, providing access to the kitchen as well as a useful storage shed and log store.

Close by stands an impressive Victorian-style greenhouse, complete with established grape vines and plenty of space for the keen grower. Beyond a retaining wall, the garden opens out to reveal a generous paved entertaining terrace, complete with pizza oven and further wood storage, creating an excellent setting for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. From here, established lawns extend away from the house, interspersed with a variety of mature shrubs and trees which give the garden a particularly settled feel. Hedging forms a natural boundary to one side, alongside a productive vegetable garden which adds to the property’s appealing ‘good life’ character. Altogether, the outside space is both varied and well established, offering plenty for the enthusiastic gardener while retaining generous areas in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
