Oak Cottage is a Grade II Listed early 18th-century detached cottage set well back from the road on approximately 0.42 acres (very large plot). The property offers three first-floor bedrooms, two reception rooms, an Aga kitchen with pantry, plus a ground-floor shower room and a main bathroom upstairs. Period features include exposed timbers, bespoke oak front windows and distinctive ridge chimneystacks with cottage dormers.
The house is sold freehold and provides excellent scope for remodelling and enlargement; previous owners applied for planning permission for a remodelling/extension and although refused, Heritage Officers were reportedly not averse to alterations in principle. The rear and side have flat-roof extensions and a detached garage/car port/store which present clear potential for reconfiguration subject to Listed Building consent and planning approval.
Important negatives: the property requires a programme of repairs and updating and is offered at a reduced price to reflect this. Listed status will complicate works and may restrict changes; a previous planning application was unsuccessful. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler (Camray II) with some hot water provision from the Aga. Council tax is above average.
For buyers seeking character and space close to village amenities, this cottage rewards careful renovation. The location on the edge of Eye places shops, schools and countryside footpaths within walking distance, while Diss (approx. 5 miles) provides rail links to Norwich and London.
