Set well back from Depper Dip Lane in a quietly secluded hamlet, this period three-bedroom cottage occupies a substantial 6.5-acre plot with far-reaching countryside views. The house offers a traditional layout with multiple reception rooms — drawing room with inglenook and wood burner, dining room, study, pantry and useful utility and boiler rooms — arranged over two floors, giving scope for flexible family living or a sympathetic refurbishment to restore character. Mature trees, meadow potential and a riverside margin add rare rural appeal.
The property is sold freehold but is offered in need of general renovation. There is evidence of damp that will need addressing, the EPC is a low-rated G and significant services work is advised: the septic tank does not meet modern regulations and a replacement sewage treatment plant will be required; the private water supply runs across neighbouring land and will be the buyer’s responsibility; and the oil tank and heating plant are basic and should be budgeted for renewal. These are material costs already considered in the guide price.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, off-street parking, a basic prefabricated garage and outbuildings, and good local amenities within a short drive — Hoxne village, schools, and nearby market towns such as Eye, Diss and Framlingham. This cottage suits someone seeking a peaceful countryside base with generous grounds and the willingness to carry out a renovation programme to unlock its full potential.
