This property comprises a conversion of a former cart lodge to offer a ground floor dwelling with four spacious bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities, good large main reception rooms, kitchen, utility room and family bathroom. The property has red brick facades under a pantile roof. With this property one is obtaining a unique blend of the old and the new. The property has been mostly re-plastered throughout. There is mostly new plumbing and electrics and obviously new sanitary ware and kitchen units. Some of the original character is retained with the outside brickwork and tiles.
The property is L-shaped, set within generous sized private gardens with the two wings forming a sheltered south facing garden. There is a detached double garage with pitched tiled roof and some of the original flint walls to the boundaries. The period feel has been much retained with the property, there is oak flooring in the long main reception hall, doors are in natural wood panel finish and with the main reception rooms with Victorian style glazing, there are period style architraves. Further period features include the inglenook fireplace as well as the exposed trusses in the kitchen/breakfast room. A further point of note is that there is a large boarded out roof space with Velux window that extends above bedroom three and the bathroom with access from normal loft hatch. There is ceramic tiling to the kitchen, coving and plain plastered ceilings, oil fired central heating via radiators and wood casement sealed unit double glazed windows. The gardens have been landscaped with a small patio with a large parking area in front of the double garage.
Thorpe Abbotts is a particularly pretty village with a conservation area right in the centre and is located between Diss and Harleston. There is a particularly pleasing central area, which is subject to a conservation order and this property is tranquilly situated down its own private driveway.

The main bathroom is of a very good size with separate drying and storage area and has both bath and shower unit. Two of the main bedrooms, as mentioned, do have ensuite facilities.
