Summary - Wilderness Farm, Short Green, Winfarthing, DISS IP22 2EE
4 bed 2 bath Farm House
Characterful 4-bed farmhouse with barns and 0.60 acre, no onward chain.
Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse, circa 1,700 sq ft
Wilderness Farm is a Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse set on about 0.60 acres, offering generous characterful living across roughly 1,700 sq ft. The house has two reception rooms with inglenook fireplaces, a kitchen/diner linking to a conservatory, four double bedrooms and period beams throughout — a comfortable family home with authentic historic charm. Guide Price £400,000–£450,000. No onward chain.
The grounds include formal front gardens, a large south-facing rear lawn, hardstanding and a Dutch barn with additional outbuildings. Those buildings and the hardstanding provide flexible uses (storage, hobby space or amenity expansion) and there are planning applications recorded for timber and steel-framed barns (refs: 2019/1166 and 2024/0476). The setting backs onto open fields and enjoys wide rural views, with Diss and its mainline station about six miles away for wider services and rail links.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired and the house uses private drainage; both will be ongoing running and maintenance considerations. As a Grade II listed property, any alterations or conversions will be subject to listed-building controls and may be more costly or restricted. Broadband is reported fast and the area has low crime, but the property sits in a remoter, agricultural community so local amenities are limited.
This farmhouse will suit buyers seeking a rural family home with character, or those looking for small-scale equestrian, hobby farming or barn-conversion potential (subject to consents). It offers immediate occupancy with scope to improve and personalise, but prospective purchasers should factor in listed-status constraints, oil-heating running costs and private drainage responsibilities.
