The Property
The rear entrance door leads into a hallway with original brick flooring, two storage cupboards and door to the cloakroom. In front of you a door opens into the spacious sitting room, measuring close to 14' x 13' and with a fireplace and wood-burning stove taking pride of place. The hallway also gives access to the kitchen, where the original brick flooring has been lovingly restored and is highlighted by a Velux window overhead. This sizeable room offers a good range of floor/wall mounted kitchen units and ample worktop space, along with an integrated electric oven with hob and extractor over. Space for a tall fridge-freezer and a washing machine can be found within and to the back of the room are two further storage cupboards. From here you will find a door to the dining room that matches the other reception room in proportions and also boasts it's own fireplace with stove, beside which are stairs to the first-floor. An open and light landing connects two generous double bedrooms that mimic the size of the rooms below and offer feature fireplaces. A family sized bathroom with bathtub, toilet, wash basin and exposed brick wall completes the accommodation of this floor. A second set of stairs leads up to a fantastic 23' long main bedroom within the attic space of the cottage, lit up by twin Velux windows and window to the gable end. Potential is there for the addition of an en-suite if the new owner requires. The care and attention the property has received over the years is immediately apparent from the quality of fixtures and fittings on show. Hardwood double-glazed windows are fitted throughout the property (aside from the two gable end windows) which very much cherishes it's country cottage nature, but still offers a very practical and versatile family home.

Outside
The total plot measures over a fifth of an acre (STS) and enjoys an elevated view over the valley to the front, where a brick and cobblestone wall frames an attractive front garden. To the left a gravel driveway leads up to the recently built garage which is proportioned to be wider than a typical standard garage and is constructed of brick with tiled roof. Beside the driveway sits further frontage in the form of a lawn area with central Cherry blossom tree and well kept bedding to the borders. Behind the property is a sizable paved patio area where stone steps take you up to gravel garden path that leads up the plot. To your left is a neat vegetable garden with four raised beds and a shed, and to the right is an area laid to grass that extends down to another shed at the bottom. To the back-left of the plot is a secluded orchard with cherry, Victoria plum and apple trees.

Location
The property is located in the heart of the desirable village of Starston, close to the bustling market town of Harleston. Starston is located within a conservation area and is highly regarded with a beck which meanders through the village, passing the village-owned meadow and Jubilee Hall. Nestled in the beautiful Waveney Valley on the old coaching route from London to Great Yarmouth, Harleston is a vibrant market town, filled with historic buildings, a beautiful chapel and plenty of character around every corner you turn. It further boasts an impressive array of independent shops, doctor's surgery, post office, chemist, delicatessen and several coffee shops. There is also a popular Wednesday market with free parking and the town of Diss, just a 15 minute drive away, boasts a direct train line to London Liverpool Street.
