This property comprises a really spacious detached period property that has been very sympathetically modernised by the current vendors and offers tremendous feature and character and is set in the heart of Long Stratton with good size gardens and plenty of parking.
Long Stratton is a well served village between Norwich and Diss with every day necessities close to hand.
The property itself dates back hundreds of years and is of massive oak timber frame construction, much of which has been revealed. There are inglenook fireplaces and hob fireplaces. There are pamment tile floors, brace and batten doors and the house offers a great deal of character. The accommodation is arranged on three floors. There is a spiral staircase giving access from the hall between the sitting room and dining room up to the first floor where there are two good size bedrooms, one with ensuite wc. From the first floor landing there is a further spiral staircase up to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms, one of which has a store or study area as well. Further features include flag floors to the scullery and the original bread oven. There is a really good area of garden backing onto meadows at the rear and plenty of parking.
For those seeking DUAL GENERATION OCCUPATION there is a section to the ground floor to the rear where there is utility room, music room and bathroom, scullery and fifth bedroom above that could possibly be divided into a self-contained annexe were a bathroom to be provided to one of the bedrooms in the other part of the house. This lends itself to very flexible accommodation.
For those seeking a really spacious family house with very flexible accommodation, we suggest the earliest viewing to avoid disappointment.
