Set in the picturesque village of Homersfield, this Victorian semi-detached cottage offers characterful living and clear scope for improvement. The house has traditional features — brick fireplace, exposed beams and a welcoming cottage layout — plus a generous rear garden, detached timber garage and a useful outbuilding with WC and plumbing, ideal for a home studio or office.
The property requires updating and modernising throughout: the current heating is electric storage radiators, the EPC rating is F and some rooms (including the basement) will need attention to reach modern standards. While the footprint is comfortable for a two-bedroom home, buyers should plan for renovation costs and possible improvements to insulation and services.
Practical benefits include off-road parking, freehold tenure, no onward chain and low local crime. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, and the location is well placed between Harleston and Bungay with local amenities and good primary and secondary schools nearby. The cottage sits in a conservation area, which preserves its character but may restrict certain alterations.
This home suits a buyer who values period charm and a quiet village setting and who is prepared to invest time and money to modernise. It also offers clear rental or resale potential once upgraded, particularly given the detached outbuilding and generous garden space.
