Character cottage on a large plot with valley views and scope to improve energy efficiency..
Period features: exposed beams and inglenook fireplace with cast-iron stove
Set in the peaceful village of Wortham with views across the Waveney Valley, this early 19th-century semi-detached cottage blends original charm with everyday comforts. Exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a cast-iron stove give the main reception room authentic character, while a modern kitchen and bathroom provide practical, up-to-date living.
The property sits on a large plot with an extensive lawn and patio, ideal for family outdoor life, entertaining, or a productive garden. A substantial timber-clad garage/workshop with power and lighting plus a large shingled driveway offers plentiful off-street parking and storage. The main bedroom benefits from strong valley views, adding appeal and a quiet outlook.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the house has electric storage heating and an EPC rating of F, timber-frame construction with assumed lack of insulation, and drainage via a septic tank rather than mains sewer. The garage’s timber and felt roof and various outbuildings will need ongoing maintenance. Any extension potential is subject to planning permission and not guaranteed.
This cottage will suit buyers looking for a characterful home in an affluent rural village, with scope to personalise and improve energy efficiency. It’s particularly attractive to families wanting good local schools and a strong community, or to those seeking a countryside retreat within easy reach of Diss rail links.
