Church Street, Diss

Occupying a generous plot and held under separate titles, this charming Grade II listed period home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained character property together with a detached self-contained annexe positioned to the rear.

Combining timeless period features with tasteful modern improvements, the main house provides comfortable family accommodation whilst retaining the character and charm expected of a listed home. The addition of a separate annexe and double garage creates a highly versatile package, equally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, independent workspace or potential holiday let/Airbnb use, subject to any necessary consents and regulations.

The principal residence extends to approximately 1,253 sq. Ft. And has been thoughtfully cared for, creating a home that feels both welcoming and practical. The ground floor centres around a well-proportioned sitting room, complemented by a dedicated dining area and a kitchen/breakfast room that balances modern convenience with traditional character.

A useful ground floor cloakroom and storage areas further enhance the functionality of the accommodation.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, including a generous principal bedroom with its own en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by an additional shower room, creating comfortable accommodation for families, visiting guests or those seeking extra space to work from home. Throughout, the property retains the warmth and personality expected of a period village home whilst benefiting from careful ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updates.

To the rear of the plot sits the detached annexe, providing an entirely separate living environment that significantly enhances the property's appeal. Offering independent access and its own accommodation arrangement, the annexe comprises a sitting room with a characterful wood-burning stove, a fitted kitchen area, shower room and bedroom. Distinct from the more refined feel of the main house, the annexe possesses a charming and slightly whimsical character of its own, creating a cosy retreat for family members, guests or potential visitors.

The annexe's separation from the main dwelling makes it particularly attractive for buyers seeking flexibility. Whether accommodating relatives, older children, dependent family members, visiting guests or exploring supplementary income opportunities, the space lends itself to a variety of uses while maintaining independence from the principal residence.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A detached double garage provides secure parking, storage or workshop potential, while the surrounding gardens have been attractively landscaped and are clearly well cared for. The outdoor space complements both dwellings beautifully, offering areas to relax, entertain and enjoy the setting whilst maintaining a sense of privacy.

Rarely does a property combine such a successful blend of period character, modern practicality and flexible ancillary accommodation. With its Grade II listed status, detached annexe, double garage, landscaped gardens and separate titles, this is a highly versatile home capable of meeting a wide range of lifestyle requirements.
