Pair of character cottages with reunification potential in sought-after Wortham village.
Grade II listed thatched cottages retaining period features
A rare pair of Grade II listed thatched cottages in the well-regarded village of Wortham, offered with front and rear gardens and a single garage. Originally one dwelling, the two semi-detached cottages present scope to reunite into a single substantial house or to create an annex (subject to necessary planning consents). The setting is semi-rural with low local crime, good village amenities and easy access to Diss for wider services and rail links.
The properties retain strong period character — exposed beams, brick chimneys and thatch — but will require sympathetic maintenance and updating. Heating differs between the two units (electric storage heaters in one, oil-fired central heating in the other) and drainage is via a shared private sewage treatment plant. Grade II listed status and the thatched roof will limit alteration options and add to ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
For families, the homes lie within catchments for well-rated local schools and offer flexible accommodation for multi-generational living if reconfigured. For investors, the pair have a rental history and offer refurbishment upside in a village location where demand is steady. Broadband speeds are noted as slow, and the joint treatment plant and listed constraints are material factors to consider before purchase.
Viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate the scale, character and practical layout; planning advice will be needed for any structural change or reunification into one dwelling.
