Location
This property is set within the Conservation Area within the heart of the popular village of Hopton. The village has a good range of day-to-day facilities including a mini market, public houses, church, dentist, plant centre and primary school. With its location, Hopton provides good access to a choice of further education in the state and private sectors in Suffolk and Norfolk. The surrounding countryside is very attractive and offers numerous walks with Knettishall Heath just a short distance away where three of the country's long distance walks meet. Hopton is well placed for a number of larger towns and cities including Bury St Edmunds (12 miles), Diss (10 miles), Norwich (27 miles) and Cambridge (42 miles) with the journey much easier now with the A11 fully dualled and there are train stations at Diss and Thetford with commuting access to London (Liverpool Street and Kings Cross).
The Property
This fine house dates from the mid 17th Century and is Listed as Grade II indicating a property of historical or architectural importance. It is clear to see why with the mellow redbrick façade hiding the much earlier timber frame much of which is revealed internally, together with inglenook fireplaces. The house is stylish and has a very welcoming feel with spacious and bright rooms and quite generous ceiling heights. Within the well appointed kitchen is an Aga and plenty of storage space is provided within the cream units beneath a granite work top, and there is still plenty of room for a good size table. The two reception rooms both have inglenook fireplaces, and a smaller room is ideal as a home office. The first floor has a large landing and four bedrooms plus a stylish bathroom.
The Garden
Overall the house is set within 0.24ac with garden to the front set behind the elegant cast railings. The shingle drive leads around the rear to a courtyard between the house and barns and then through to the main area of garden which has well stocked flower beds, a covered sitting area and a rose arch leading to the rear section with its serpentine brick wall. The garden is south facing, particularly private, and is an absolute delight in spring.
The Buildings
There is a good range of buildings to the rear of the house forming the backdrop to the courtyard parking area. The main barn is two storey and provides useful storage space as well as a workshop. To the side is a single storey range divided into three and used as a store space. One of the sections was the original bakehouse and still retains its Georgian fireplace, dutch oven and brick floor. This range would make a superb annex or home work area (subject to planning consent).
Agents note The side driveway is owned by The Pightle with a right of access for the neighbour to the rear. Maintenance is shared on an informal basis.
Services
Mains water electricity and drainage are connected. Oil fired boiler providing heating to radiators

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
