An impressive seven-bedroom Old Vicarage restored to a high standard while retaining strong period character. Bright, high-ceilinged reception rooms and a galleried entrance create a dramatic welcome, while the open-plan kitchen and adjoining garden room provide a light, family-focused hub. The property extends to about 5,313 sq ft and sits within very large, mature gardens of c.1 acre with specimen trees, a kitchen garden and meadow.
Practical strengths include a sweeping gravel drive, adjoining Coach House providing garaging and storage, fast broadband, and easy access to local shops and good schools. Transport links to Diss and Stowmarket put mainline train services within easy reach and the A140 connects to the wider motorway network.
Buyers should note this is a substantial historic house: maintenance is a continuing consideration and fabric-sensitive upkeep will be required to preserve period features. Heating is oil-fired, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are typical ongoing costs for a property of this age and size.
Overall the house will suit buyers seeking a character-filled family home with generous entertaining space and extensive, productive gardens, rather than those wanting a low-maintenance modern property.
