5 bed semi-detached house for sale

High Road, Wortwell IP20

The village of Wortwell retains a strong and active local community whilst being within short distance to the well served market town of Harleston which offers an extensive range of day to day amenities and facilities. Access to a mainline railway station can be found within the market town of Diss some thirteen miles away.

Located within the heart of the village of Wortwell is this charming five bedroom semi-detached cottage occupying a fantastic plot of 0.6 acre. The property is of timber frame and brick construction benefitting from gas fired central heating and hardwood double glazed windows (installed in 2024). Having originally been two cottages, the property has been extended and reconfigured over the years to now offer a substantial family home whilst still retaining much of it's charm including two staircases, exposed beams and fabulous brick open fireplace in the sitting room. The accommodation expands to the regions of 1,400 square feet of versatile living with the ground floor offering two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, sunroom, utility room and shower room. Upstairs are four/five bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC.

Externally the property is conveniently placed on High Road within close proximity to village amenities. There is a picket fence and hedge to the front and gated entry and driveway leading to the parking area which accommodates parking for several cars. The rear garden is split into two parts, with the formal gardens being mainly laid to lawn with a mixture of shrubs, plants and pretty flowers, small pond and patio area ideal for outdoor entertaining. The rest of the land is set out as a paddock backing onto woodland belonging to the fishing lakes and a managed water channel. To the side boundary is a recently built double cart lodge (2024) which adjoins a large brick outbuilding which is split into sections of workshop and garage but could be converted into a studio, annex or holiday let (subject to planning permission).
