A Grade II listed three-bedroom link-detached cottage in the heart of Earsham, this property offers strong period character including exposed beams, an open fireplace and a wood-burning stove. The double-aspect sitting room and adjoining dining room create generous daytime living space, while a separate reception room, kitchen and utility offer practical layout for family life or flexible use.
The house requires full modernisation and will suit a buyer prepared to invest in sympathetic restoration. Notable constraints include listed-status restrictions, solid brick walls likely lacking insulation, oil-fired heating and some restricted head-height at the landing. A small patch of Japanese knotweed has been identified and is being professionally treated by the current owners.
Outside, the plot is a major asset: a good-sized rear garden with mature shrubs, private driveway, off-road parking and a detached garage. The village location is convenient for Bungay and local schools, with fast broadband but a high local flood risk—buyers should factor in flood mitigation and insurance costs. Overall this is a character-rich renovation project with strong long-term potential for the right buyer.
