3 bed cottage for sale

The Street, Market Weston, Diss IP22

Set back from a small country lane, the property enjoys a pleasing rural but yet not isolated position backing onto rural countryside and offering outstanding far reaching rural views. The much sought after village of Market Weston lies on the borders of Suffolk/Norfolk well located for access to various market towns and services with easy reach. The nearby villages of Hopton and Barningham have public houses, good stores and primary schools. The popular market town of Bury St Edmunds is found fifteen miles to the west, whilst Diss lies respectively ten miles to the east and has the benefit of a mainline railway station with regular/direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

Mill House is a charming period cottage thought to be of Victorian origin. As the name suggests, the property sits on the site of an old mill, holding much history to the village and former past. As one would expect from a home of this era, it holds much character and charm. The current owners have resided at the property for the past 25 years or so, carrying out extensive works to enhance the property while taking great care to retain its period features, such as original fireplaces and exposed mellow red brick and flint walling. Deceptive in its size, the main residence offers 1,600 sq ft of accommodation. This includes the option of an annexe, which can either be seamlessly integrated into the main living spaces or kept entirely separate. Additionally, the property boasts an excellent range of external outbuildings. A portion of these outbuildings has already been converted and could serve as a secondary annexe or be utilised for business purposes. As detailed on the floor plans, this converted space features a bedroom area, a living space, and a separate shower room.

The main house features a stunning kitchen diner with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, and reclaimed red brickwork. Generously proportioned, this impressive space also enjoys views across the surrounding countryside. There are two well-sized reception rooms, one of which showcases a period fireplace and benefits from French doors opening onto the cottage gardens. On the first floor, there are two well-sized bedrooms, both with en-suite suites. The principal bedroom also enjoys the added luxury of a dressing room, as well as elevated far-reaching views over the countryside. Accessed via the kitchen is the annexe accommodation, which could be separated from the main house or used as additional living space. At ground floor level, there are two rooms, a separate shower room, and a mezzanine level which provides access to the third bedroom.

Externally, the grounds extend to 0.86 acres and are well established, backing onto rural fields with far-reaching countryside views. On arrival, double gates open to a long hardstanding driveway that runs past the cottage and up to the outbuildings. As shown on the floor plan, the outbuildings provide excellent space for a variety of uses. The first is generously sized, with power and lighting connected, as well as a mezzanine area above. The second, which is attached, has double doors to the front and also benefits from power and lighting. It also provides access to what could be used as a separate annexe. This converted space offers a large L-shaped lounge or dining area, a separate bedroom, and a shower room. Altogether, the two outbuildings and garage provide a combined total of 1,300 sq ft.
