Summary - MANOR COTTAGE 3 KENNINGHALL ROAD GARBOLDISHAM DISS IP22 2SJ
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Character-filled village home with large garden and versatile outbuilding.
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage with original features
Manor Cottage is a beautifully preserved Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage set on a substantial secluded plot in Garboldisham. Interiors retain original features including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and hand-laid tiled floors, creating immediate period character and warmth. The layout includes two generous reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining space, a versatile ground-floor room and three bedrooms upstairs, one with an en-suite.
Outside the grounds really set this home apart: a sweeping lawn, mature borders, patio, small pond and a detached octagonal outbuilding with genuine annex potential. Practical benefits include a shingled driveway for multiple vehicles, a carport and barn-style store. Broadband speeds are reported fast, and the area has low crime and good local primary schooling.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building — any alterations will be constrained and may cause delays and extra costs. The property occupies a relatively remote village location with limited public transport; access to larger towns (Diss, Thetford) is by road. Council tax is described as expensive. Prospective purchasers are advised to view in person and verify planning/consent possibilities for the outbuilding and any refurbishment works.
This cottage will suit buyers who prioritise historic character, generous outdoor space and rural privacy — families seeking room to grow, those wanting a home office/studio in a separate building, or buyers prepared to manage listed-property responsibilities.
