Seller Has Found a Chain Free Property
Immerse yourself in seclusion, nature and the peace and quiet in this period detached home, set within an enchanting plot of approximately 2.5 acres (stms) and encompassed by wondrous woodland. Believed to date back to the 1830s as the former Gamekeepers cottage for Worlingham Hall, this is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a special home, with ample opportunity to further extend and improve (STPP).
Owls Cottage...
The home can be entered via the traditional storm porch entrance, or via double doors into the sitting / dining room; welcoming you with parquet-style flooring, exposed beams and a wood burning stove which takes centre stage. Big enough for both soft seating and dining as an entertainment hub of the home, the versatility of the sitting room continues in the kitchen / breakfast room, with further space for a table. Whilst quaint, the kitchen offers a traditional pantry to store away your daily consumables; a room which also houses the 2024 fitted gas boiler; and provisions for a utility area is found in the adjacent oversized garage, complete with a WC. The ground floor is complete with a sizeable study, with light from two aspects, giving the option to work from home. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms complete with fitted storage, each offering a wonderful green outlook over your grounds and surrounding woodland. A WC, basin and bath with overhead electric shower is found in the family bathroom.
Outside, Living and Adventure...
Leading through a five bar gate down your lengthy driveway, you will pass your large double garage before finding further ample parking and the secondary garage, which again is oversized. To both the front and rear of the home, there are generous patio spaces to relax and dine, as well as ample lawn space for the family to play, with the leafy backdrop providing maximum seclusion. The remainder of the 2.5 acres (stms) is made up woodland, providing adventure and a real sense of the outdoors. A sizeable (and later acquired) area of the plot offers road frontage, which could offer opportunity for development (STPP). The setting on Marsh Lane provides plenty of countryside and marshland to explore, with scenic walks along the Waveney River bank.
