Easter Cottage is a quintessential Grade II listed thatched cottage set in a peaceful hamlet, offering a picture-book countryside lifestyle. The house sits within generous grounds of about 0.61 acres, including an orchard, wildflower area, pond, brick outbuilding and summerhouse — all arranged for relatively low-maintenance enjoyment. The interior is cosy and characterful with exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace and a recently fitted wood burner, creating a warm living space for a couple or small family.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, a garage/outbuilding with power, mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating and direct rail links from nearby Diss to London. The location is rural but not remote: local shops, schools and services are a short drive away and the immediate area is tranquil with very low crime and fast broadband availability.
There are important constraints to note. The Grade II listing protects historic features and will make alterations more difficult and potentially costly; listed consent will be required for many changes. The house has private drainage and a single bathroom, and some rooms are small — factors to consider for larger families or anyone needing modern layouts. Oil heating and the thatched roof also carry higher maintenance and insurance considerations than modern equivalents.
Overall, this cottage will suit buyers seeking character, outdoor space and a quiet rural setting who are comfortable with conservation obligations and ongoing upkeep. It offers immediate charm and long-term potential for someone happy to work within the constraints of a protected historic property.
