The Old Shop is a substantial Victorian character home arranged as a five-bedroom main house plus a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. Generous reception rooms, original fireplaces and pamment tiled floors create a warm, traditional interior suited to family life and entertaining. With about 3,018 sq ft of accommodation, the layout offers flexibility for multi‑generational living or home working.
Outside, the property sits in very large private grounds of approximately 0.7 acres (stms) with a large patio, mature planting and open rural views — ideal for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. Ample driveway parking adds everyday convenience for a household with multiple vehicles.
Practical considerations are clear and should be factored into plans: the house is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators, solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and an EPC rating of E. The age and construction of the building mean maintenance and sympathetic upgrading may be required to improve energy performance and reduce running costs.
For families seeking space, character and a peaceful village setting with easy access to Harleston and Diss, this property offers a rare combination of charm and usable land. The annexe gives genuine flexibility for guests, adult children or potential rental income, while the size and period detail create a memorable home with scope to modernise thoughtfully.
