Annexe near Diss, 3 Rooms including Shower Room

Hi, my name is Julian, we have a 3 room “Annex” with shower room available for a lodger.

Attached to the back of the main house in which we live with views over the rear garden, the vegetable garden and the woodland banks of the river Waveney just beyond.

Set beside the “Redgrave and Lopham Fen” with the Waveney river itself running just behind, we are surrounded by an intensely beautiful, tranquil natural world with it’s wild ponies, cows, owls etc some of which also inhabit our gardens…! (See Wikipedia “Waveney River” , “Source of the Waveney River “ and “Redgrave and Lopham Fen)

Diss being our main market town 3 miles to our east meets most needs and has a main line train to London Liverpool St
It’s a pleasant cycle-able distance along a beautifully idyllic back road through Wortham Ling.
Bury St Edmunds to the west is also within commutable distance and provides everything the heart desires as does the fine city of Norwich to the north.

The villages of Wortham and Redgrave are very nearby almost equidistant south and southwest respectively.

Redgrave has a tiny community shop as well as the lovely Crosskeys Community gastro pub serving fantastic food. Wortham has a great post office and tea rooms as well as a pub restaurant.

“Starwing brewery” itself is in close proximity lying almost due south and hosts many varied events and is an interesting resource which can, for the slightly more adventurous be walked to mostly by footpath.

Indeed there are many wonderful footpaths to be enjoyed in the immediate area including the historic Angles way which starts here at the source of the Waveney river and will take you some 93 miles to Yarmouth should you so wish…!! .

There is a shared lobby entrance point which is a friendly meeting place at times of comings and goings and a shared utility room.

Naturally It is an environment and lifestyle most ideally suited to a person aspiring or accustomed to rural living.

Heating is via a wood burning stove (pictured) which keeps the place “as toasty as”, and two A rated oil filled electric, programmable wall mounted radiators as well as a convection radiator in the shower room.

You are welcome to and there is plenty of space to grow your own vegetables etc.

In short we would very much welcome your involvement in the place and the particular lifestyle which it allows, hopefully at least metaphorically you’d like to keep some chickens ….!

In reality it’s probably best if you’re the kind of person who’s into and enjoys collecting and chopping wood for the log burner…!

Water comes from a private water supply borehole and is therefore pure.

We try as much as possible to live a low impact, holistic “green” life style.

We are of an artist, creative, live and let live persuasion.

There is a very friendly old dog in residence...!

Currently furnished however this is flexible, anything surplus to requirement can be removed.

There is an 8x6’ shed included for storage of bikes, camping equipment etc.

Preferably you won’t wish to work full time from home, but there maybe scope to consider a part time version.

I don’t have broadband Internet, we use mobile connection which generally meets with our limited needs but it must be said the signal in this neck of the woods is not strong. Satellite internet is pretty well instantly available and works very well in our location.

Sorry to say we are not wishing for housing benefit claims if you are not working, however top up, pension credit and the like is fine.
I’m afraid it’s difficult to consider pets due to potential compatible with our own.

Unfortunately the place is unsuitable for couples and therefore politely suggest single occupancy only please…

Postcode is: IP221SQ

Any further questions please do ask.

We very much look forwards to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Julian
