3 bed cottage for sale

The Green, Palgrave IP22

Found within the charming village of Palgrave, the property occupies a superb position within the centre of the village set back from the green and enjoying a leafy green outlook. Palgrave is just a mile south of Diss, surrounded by the picturesque countryside of the Waveney Valley on the north Suffolk borders. The village still retains an active local community and is centred around a delightful green, featuring many period and historic properties, local schooling, community centre offering Friday evening bar and monthly cinema screenings, fine church and is part of the Hartismere school catchment area. Within a leisurely 15-minute walk down The Lows, you'll reach the historic market town of Diss, providing a wide array of day-to-day amenities and facilities, including a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

This period cottage is presented in an excellent decorative order, having been significantly enhanced and upgraded over the years. Thought to be of Victorian origin, the cottage displays a charming front façade with rendered elevations under a clay pantiled roof. Much of the original character and charm has been retained, with exposed fireplaces and brickwork, while recent modernisation has been sensitively carried out to blend the old with the new. The property boasts a pleasing layout. The well-sized front reception room enjoys a delightful rural outlook over the green. Its fireplace is a standout feature, complete with exposed mellow red bricks and an inset cast iron stove. The second reception room is equally well-proportioned and is open-plan to the kitchen and dining area, creating a superb open living space that also benefits from the luxury of a fireplace with an inset cast iron stove and Travertine tiled flooring runs seamlessly from the entrance hall. The bespoke kitchen offers an excellent range of storage space with oak work surfaces and semi-vaulted ceilings. It provides views of and access to the cottage-style rear gardens, and is flooded with natural light thanks to its south-westerly aspect. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is located at the front, offering tranquil, elevated views over the green. The family bathroom is just as beautifully presented as the rest of the property.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking leading up to the garage (measuring 2.49m x 5.89m (8'2" x 19'4"). The main gardens are located to the rear and are well-sized, private, and established. Having been thoughtfully planted over the years, the garden is now well-stocked, offering plenty of charm and colour during the summer months. There is an excellent collection of outbuildings; a timber studio lies beyond the garage (measuring 3.00m x 5.00m (9'10" x 16'5"), and at the rear boundary, there is a timber garden room. This versatile space has served a number of different purposes over the years and can easily be used as a guest bedroom. All of the outbuildings have power and light connected.
