The bustling market town of Diss is just 6 miles away with a mainline railway station on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line, a journey taking around 90 minutes. The beautiful Heritage Coast around Southwold, Walberswick and Aldeburgh is around 40 minutes by car.
The Property
Easter Cottage is Listed as Grade II, denoting a property of architectural or historic importance and this cottage retains its integrity, having a wealth of character and period features, including the inglenook fireplace, period doors, exposed wall and ceiling timbers and a general feeling of the quintessential chocolate box cottage. There is a cosy sitting room with dual aspect windows and an inglenook fireplace with a recently installed wood burner. The cottage has been extended to create a second reception room with bedroom above and incorporates the use of oak, including a fine staircase. The cottage has been used as a holiday cottage in the past but would equally suit a couple or a small family.
Outside
The cottage is set back behind Little Green (an area of Common) and is almost hidden from view from the road. There is a brick outbuilding (21'6 x 11'6) and a summerhouse (10' x 10') both with power connected. There are two parking spaces in front of the outbuilding. The garden is cleverly planned with areas of lawn, an orchard, wild flower area and cottage style flower beds flag the front path. The garden extends to 0.247 ha (0.61ac) but is easy to maintain. In addition, there is a pond and a compost area. The property also has the freehold of the area of Common directly in front of the cottage which amounts to 0.077 ha (0.19ac).
