Chapel Street Diss, IP22

A unique and historic opportunity in the very heart of Diss, this charming property has been in the same family for six generations and is being offered to the market for the first time in over 170 years.

The historic market town of Diss, renowned for its picturesque Mere and surrounding parkland, is just metres from the property. Situated on the South Norfolk border within the beautiful Waveney Valley countryside, the town provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, together with a mainline railway station offering regular direct services to Norwich and London Liverpool Street.

The ground floor of this detached home comprises a utility room, a spacious kitchen, and an open-plan living/dining room, creating an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining. The accommodation is completed by a useful ground-floor WC.

On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the second bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobe space. Both bedrooms are served by a family wet room featuring a WC, wash basin, bath and separate shower. The roof was replaced approximately 30 years ago, and the generous loft space offers excellent potential for further expansion, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

Externally lies the true ‘jewel in the crown’ of this remarkable home. Rarely found in such a central location, the property sits on a plot extending to just over 0.2 acres. The gardens feature well-established fruit trees, expansive lawned areas and ample parking for multiple vehicles. A cart lodge to the rear provides additional covered parking.

The property also benefits from a substantial two-storey barn/workshop extending to just under 500 square feet. Originally used as the workshop of a highly regarded local cabinet maker, the building still retains its original pulley system on the first floor as a nod to its rich heritage. Offering exceptional versatility, the barn presents exciting potential for a variety of uses and could, subject to the necessary consents, be converted into additional living accommodation, a home office, studio, or holiday let.

AGENTS NOTE: The property is within a conservation area.
