Summary - PROSPECT PLACE MILL ROAD OCCOLD EYE IP23 7PN
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Large period home on nearly half an acre — character, privacy and clear scope to modernise.
4 bedrooms and three reception rooms, large family layout
Prospect Place is a classic Victorian‑fronted farmhouse set on about 0.44 acres, sitting quietly just outside Occold with open fields to the front and rear. The house combines period character — sash windows, exposed timber framing, rustic beams and an inglenook stove — with roomy family accommodation: four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen with pantry and laundry/cloakroom. The plot and outbuilding create tangible scope for a workshop, studio or a garage (subject to planning).
Practical considerations are clear: heating is by an oil‑fired range/boiler and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so owners should expect to consider energy upgrades. There is only one bathroom and some external repairs and modernisation remain desirable; the current owners have already improved presentation but further interior updating will allow new owners to add their own stamp and increase value.
This property suits buyers seeking a rural family home with space and privacy — or investors and renovators wanting a character property with expansion potential. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average, reflecting the remoter village location; however, local amenities include a well‑regarded primary school, village hall and public footpaths directly from the lane. Council tax is above average and the tenure is freehold.
Overall, Prospect Place offers substantial garden, flexible accommodation and countryside living, balanced by the likely need for energy improvements, bathroom provision and some external repair work.
