An exceptional five-bedroom cottage near Diss, Suffolk is going under the hammer with Auction House East Anglia next week.
Located just a few minutes walk from Hopton Nature Reserve, the early 19th century detached cottage would make an outstanding family home and is expected to fetch between £450,000 - £500,000 at auction.
Once serving as a village shop, the property has been renovated to a remarkably high specification in recent years, with a striking blend of modern decoration and charming character features.
Longfield’s internal layout spans across two levels and has been meticulously designed with ample room for a family. Boasting two bathrooms, five bedrooms, a fully equipped shaker-style kitchen/breakfast area, and a spacious living room featuring a cast iron wood-burning stove, this home provides thoughtful and practical accommodation.
On the ground floor, an adjacent building that was previously used as the village post office presents an adaptable area for prospective buyers to make their own. The one-level space is easily accessible from the property's sides and back and is already connected to utilities.
Depending on permission, the versatile space has the potential to function as supplementary bedrooms for the main house, a two-bedroom annex, or even a self-sufficient apartment.
Externally, the detached property enjoys a generous garden with a timber workshop, creating a delightful outdoor paradise. Secluded and enclosed, this outdoor space is a perfect haven for a family to relax in.
