6 bed detached house for sale

Diss Road, Burston IP22

Lying to the outskirts of the village of Burston the property boasts a stunning position, overlooking rural farmland with far reaching views and sits just 3 miles north of Diss. Burston is a well-established and sought-after village, known for its beautiful assortment of period and modern homes. The village still retains a strong and active community, with local amenities, including a school, pub, church, village hall, and playing fields. The historic market town of Diss lies on the south Norfolk border, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Waveney Valley. The town offers a wide range of everyday amenities and facilities, as well as a mainline railway station with regular direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

This substantial six-bedroom period cottage is built predominantly from clay lump, under a pitched clay tiled roof, with attractive colour-washed rendered elevations. The current owners have carried out an extensive refurbishment programme, bringing the property up to a particularly high specification. The result is a beautifully presented home offering approximately 2,400 sq ft of versatile living space.

The accommodation is well laid out, with a pleasing and spacious reception hall creating an excellent first impression. The property benefits from the luxury of three reception rooms, the largest of which enjoys a triple aspect and bi-folding doors that open onto the rear gardens. The kitchen is excellently presented and well-equipped, fitted in a style sympathetic to the character of the cottage. The second reception room leads off the kitchen and has been used as a formal dining room. Beyond the kitchen lies the utility room, which is generously sized and benefits from direct access to the gardens, as well as the convenience of a ground floor WC. Completing the ground floor accommodation is an office/study, a versatile space that lends itself to a number of uses. At first floor level, there are five bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a dressing room, which provides access to the second floor. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, being generously proportioned and benefitting from the luxury of en-suite facilities. The second floor accommodation offers a sixth bedroom if required, alongside a playroom or hobby room. It should be noted that the use of this room is somewhat limited due to the rising chimney breast and restricted head height.

This charming property sits in a peaceful, private setting. The grounds extend to approximately 0.5 acres, predominantly laid to lawn and divided into three distinct areas, each enclosed by mature hedging. The result is a beautifully outlook that feels secluded. The property benefits from two separate access points: One closer to the cottage, with a shingle driveway, and another positioned further from the main building. Between the two entrances sits a generously sized outbuilding, offering excellent additional storage space.
