House For Sale £280,000
Location South Lopham is situated just off the A1066 and has good access to Diss and Thetford. Within the village is a public house and a fine church, which John Betjeman described as 'the grandest piece of Norman architecture next to the Cathedral'. Neighbouring villages are North Lopham with its public house, primary school and village shop and Kenninghall, again with a village shop and primary school. The market town of Diss is approximately 5 miles away and offers a good range of local and national shopping, leisure and sporting facilities and general amenities. There is a mainline rail link to London Liverpool Street with a journey time of around 90 minutes.
The Property This semi-detached cottage was, as the name suggests, converted from the former school and has various attractive elements including the large gable end window overlooking fields, and the period brickwork. Whilst having been maintained over the years, it is fair to say the house would now benefit from a scheme of updating and general decoration to bring it back to its former glory.
The ground floor has two generous reception rooms which are bright. The living room has the fireplace as the central feature with cupboards to either side. There is fitted shelving in the dining room. The kitchen is rather dated in style and a re-fit would be beneficial.
The first floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom. Again the bathroom could do with refitting. The two smaller bedrooms could be returned to a single room making a superb master bedroom with the arched window as its focal point.
Outside The grounds to the house are private with the main area stretching away from the house and is laid to grass with various mature trees and bushes as well as tall hedging. The garden shed is included. This area of ground is divided by a fence from the driveway area which wraps around a flower bed and there is a further pedestrian gate onto the road. It may be possible to make this a horseshoe drive creating an easier parking area.
Services Mains water and electricity are connected. Private drainage. Oil fired boiler providing heating to radiators
Directions From Diss heading west on the A1066 towards Thetford. In South Lopham, just after the White Horse Inn, turn left towards Blo Norton. The property is immediately on the right.
Viewing Strictly by appointment with TW Gaze.
