Summary - Smallworth, Garboldisham, Diss IP22 2SS
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
South-facing garden on a generous plot with garage and workshop.
Far-reaching rural views across open fields
Set on about 0.26 acres with far-reaching countryside views, this individual three-bedroom bungalow offers peaceful, single-storey living in the hamlet of Smallworth. The principal reception rooms are bright, the living room opens to a dining area, and the kitchen looks out across the fields. A generous entrance hall and extensive built-in storage support flexible living, and a former fourth bedroom has been repurposed as a bathroom (easily reversible).
Outdoor space is a major asset: a south-facing rear garden backing onto agricultural land, a broad gravel drive, extensive off-street parking and a double garage with attached timber workshop and storage. Solar panels are owned outright (currently not connected) and the site benefits from a mature treeline at the front for privacy.
There are important practical considerations. The property is on a private drainage system (treatment plant) and is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators. The bungalow was constructed before 1900 with timber-frame elements and is assumed to lack modern insulation; it currently requires renovation and improvements to achieve higher energy efficiency (EPC D). Broadband is very slow in the area, though mobile signal is excellent.
Flooding has occurred within the last few years; the vendor arranged an insurance claim and installed physical flood defences including a retaining wall. Prospective purchasers should note a medium flood risk and confirm details of the defences, insurance history and any ongoing obligations. Overall, this property suits buyers seeking a private, rural plot with scope to upgrade and personalise.
