Property
The property offers an exciting opportunity within a convenient semi-rural Hamlet between Long Stratton and Harleston. It comprises a substantial Grade II Listed former farmhouse, that for a number of years was the Rose and Crown Pub, that now needs complete refurbishment. It has an abundance of charm and character and has highly versatile space.
On the ground floor are four reception rooms including an impressive drawing room and dining room, both with open fireplaces. There is a kitchen/breakfast room to the rear, together with a separate utility room and a ground floor shower room. On the first floor is an impressive principal bedroom with ensuite shower room. There are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. In addition, a staircase rises to the attic which in previous years was used as a bedroom but offers huge potential.
A driveway to the side of the house leads to a detached triple bay cart lodge and range of barns offering huge potential subject to planning. There is a delightful, well-stocked garden to the rear of the house that is bordered by an attractive low wall. Beyond the garden is a substantial detached timber barn with stables and a yard to the front. It is considered this offers huge redevelopment potential subject to the necessary planning consents. It has the added benefit of its own independent driveway to the road. There is a charming pond providing a haven for wildlife and beyond is a substantial field. In total the land extends to approximately 3.64 acres.
