<br/> A sympathetically refurbished, detached thatched Grade II listed cottage, this exceptional home beautifully combines period character with the comfort and practicality of modern living. Ideally positioned to enjoy far-reaching open countryside views to the rear, the property is offered to the market with no onward chain and provides generously proportioned accommodation throughout.<br/><br/>The property is entered via a welcoming hallway finished with limestone flooring, which provides access to the principal ground floor rooms. To the left, the snug offers an immediate sense of character, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. This room flows through into the main sitting room, a superbly light and spacious area featuring a further log burner and full-width glazing with glazed doors that frame and open onto the stunning rear countryside views.<br/><br/>From the snug, a door leads into the dining room, which enjoys outlooks over the walled side garden and provides an excellent space for entertaining. The dining room in turn connects to the kitchen, which is both spacious and well-positioned to take full advantage of the open field views to the rear. The kitchen, dining and reception spaces together create a highly sociable and flexible layout ideal for family living. A well-appointed downstairs bathroom, also finished with limestone flooring, completes the ground floor accommodation.<br/><br/>On the first floor, the accommodation is arranged across two separate staircases, adding to the charm and individuality of the home. The principal bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room, enjoying uninterrupted views across the gardens and surrounding fields. The second bedroom is also a well-proportioned double and features an attractive raised beamed ceiling, enhancing the cottage’s period character.<br/><br/>Externally, the property is approached from High Road via a gravel driveway that runs between neighbouring properties, providing parking to the front. The gardens can be accessed from both the front and side and extend to the rear, where they are beautifully stocked and enjoy outstanding uninterrupted views across open countryside. The outdoor space includes a garage currently used for storage, an additional outbuilding, and a summerhouse positioned at the far end of the garden, all contributing to the home’s versatility and charm.<br/><br/>The cottage is located in the highly regarded village of Needham, a picturesque rural village offering a strong sense of community, a village hall, public house, and access to scenic countryside walks including the nearby Angles Way and river paths. The village is well placed for access to the nearby market town of Harleston, which provides a wide range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and essential services, while the town of Diss offers a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street.<br/><br/>Services include gas-fired central heating and hot water, mains electricity and water, and private drainage.
