Ye Old Chequers Cottage is a spacious Grade II listed family home steeped in character, offering nearly 2,000 sqft of flexible accommodation across two floors. Original features including exposed timbers, fireplaces, a bread oven and vaulted first-floor ceilings give the house strong period charm while larger reception rooms create practical living and entertaining spaces.
The ground floor provides four reception areas — living room, dining area, snug and study — plus a generous kitchen/breakfast room, boot room and a large bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. The first floor has four bedrooms, two vaulted doubles at either end of the landing and two smaller bedrooms in between. Head height is restricted at a couple of doorways due to the building’s historic layout.
Outside the wrap-around plot of about 0.2 acres includes a west-facing paved courtyard, southerly private garden with included hot tub (not guaranteed working), extensive lawned areas, a well, gazebo and a timber outbuilding previously used as a gym. Driveway parking for several vehicles sits alongside an oversized garage.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed which will affect changes and may limit alterations; heating is by oil with private drainage; the inset stoves, woodburners and hot tub have not been used by the current owners and should not be assumed operational. Offered with no onward chain and situated a short drive from Diss with rail links to Norwich and London, this home suits buyers after a characterful rural family home who accept listed‑building constraints.
