South View is a Grade II listed detached cottage dating from the 1600s, set on a large plot in the peaceful village of Shelfanger. The property offers five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, two ground-floor bathrooms and a characterful kitchen, all arranged within about 1,405 sq ft of historic accommodation. Mature rear gardens, a garage and a shingle driveway providing off‑road parking for several cars add practical village living benefits.
The house is clearly well loved and retains many original features: exposed beams, wood-burning stoves, timber floorboards and a notable dining room with a brick fireplace. Interior spaces are versatile with a study, boot room and a dressing room off the principal bedroom, making the layout suitable for families who value period character alongside usable everyday rooms.
Important practical points are also present. The property is Grade II listed — works and extensions will be restricted and likely require listed‑building consent, which can complicate renovations. Heating and services include an oil tank and the garage houses the boiler and hot water system; buyers should budget for service checks and potential upgrades. There is a medium flooding risk for the area, so appropriate insurance and flood-mitigation advice should be sought.
For buyers seeking a characterful village home, this is a rare opportunity to own a historic cottage with spacious gardens and strong parking provision close to Diss. The house is presented in good order but its listed status and older service installations mean those wanting to modernise should factor additional time, consent and cost into their plans.
