Located off the beaten track and nestled down a single track lane, the location of this home provides seclusion and privacy whilst still being within only a short distance of amenities. Situated in Wortham, which lies off the A143 on the North Suffolk border. The historic market town of Diss is found just 4 miles to the northeast, with Bury St Edmunds lying 20 miles to the west. The village of Wortham is an attractive and active local village with a beautiful assortment of modern and period properties, many of which are centred around a large traditional green. The site itself is found in a sustainable location and within a short walking distance of the local amenities the village has to offer, which consists of a village store and tea shop, primary school, church and village hall with sport facilities. There are good transport links with the village having the benefit of a frequent bus service, which runs between Bury St Edmunds and Diss.

Dating back to approximately 1836 this charming property has fulfilled numerous roles, once upon a time a Methodist chapel and schoolroom, later a cottage and bakers shop, and now a charming home offering just over 1600 square feet of accommodation. The property is believed to be of timber frame and clay lump construction with double glazed windows and doors whilst being heated by an oil fired boiler to radiators. This idyllic four/five bedroom home provides versatile accommodation by having a bathroom on the ground floor and the possibility of utilizing the snug as the fifth bedroom. The ground floor also provides a spacious, bright and airy main reception room with a vaulted like ceiling and attractive inglenook fireplace, along with a separate dual aspect dining room, kitchen breakfast room, utility and study. The first floor has three double bedrooms, one single bedroom and a shower room. The views from all four of the bedroom windows are treated to beautiful far reaching field views.

With a plot measuring approximate 0.25 acre, the gardens somewhat wrap around the whole of the property. Being mainly lawn with two storage sheds, the space on offer provides an excellent blank canvas for any gardening enthusiast to work with. To the front of the property boundary, off road parking for three vehicles is accommodated due to a right to park on the common land known as Burgate Great Green.
