A charming Grade II Listed detached cottage in the heart of Earsham, this two-bedroom home combines period character with practical living. The double-aspect sitting room has painted timbers, an open fireplace with a woodburning stove, and stairs rising to two double bedrooms. The layout includes a kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, separate utility and boiler rooms, and gated off-road parking accessed via a shared drive. The garden is large and presents a blank canvas for landscaping or creating outdoor living space.
The property is well suited to someone looking for character and village living close to Bungay, Harleston and local amenities, schools and transport links. The house is a comfortable size at about 960 sq ft and benefits from double glazing, fast broadband and an oil-fired boiler with radiators. The setting and interior charm will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a cottage with traditional features and scope to personalise.
There are important practical considerations. As a Grade II Listed building, alterations will be restricted and may be costly; this status will affect renovation options. The solid brick construction likely has no cavity insulation, heating runs on oil, and the site is in a high flood-risk area — buyers should seek specialist advice on flood mitigation and insurance. The front access is shared with a neighbour. Overall, the house offers strong character and garden space but needs informed buyers who accept listed constraints and flood-related matters.
