This spacious detached family home offers a blend of character and potential, situated on a generous half-acre plot in a tranquil rural setting. The property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment, allowing for personalization while capitalizing on its existing charm.
Upon entry, you are greeted by a sizable kitchen/breakfast area, equipped with ample cabinetry and a distinctive open chimney breast accommodating a range cooker. This central hub provides access to a study with double aspect views and an exposed red brick chimney housing a wood-burning stove. Adjacent is the inviting sitting room, characterized by exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace featuring another wood-burning stove, and traditional pamment flooring. A garden room extends from this space through double doors, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The dining room complements the home’s character with yet another inglenook fireplace, wooden floors, and an additional staircase leading to the first floor. A practical inner hallway connects to a shower room and utility room for ease of family living. The upper level consists of four bedrooms along with a family bathroom, providing ample accommodation for various needs.
Externally, the property is approached via a wide tarmac driveway offering extensive off-road parking and leading to the double garage. The grounds include expansive lawns, several useful outbuildings, and a private terrace at the rear. Notably, an old flint and stone structure within the grounds may present further development opportunities for an annexe or separate dwelling—subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions.
Located in South Lopham—a sought-after rural village—this property enjoys close proximity to basic amenities including a primary school and pub. The market town of Diss is just 7 miles away, providing comprehensive services such as schools, healthcare facilities, sports venues, public transport options including a railway station with links to London (Liverpool Street), while cities like Norwich, Ipswich, and Bury St Edmunds are approximately 22 miles distant.
This home benefits from oil-fired central heating with mains electricity and water connected; drainage is managed via a private treatment plant. Given its structural integrity and location advantages combined with significant renovation potential both within the house itself and its grounds, this property appeals not only as a comfortable residence but also as an investment opportunity waiting to be realized.
