6 bedroom detached house – East Harling

Property Details

Location Harling is set in the Brecks and considered to be one of the best served villages in the area with its market square at the centre and providing two public houses, grocers, general stores, butchers, doctors, chemist, primary school and other businesses. It has an active community and various sports facilities catering for all ages.

For those looking to the wider area, Harling is very well located. The A11 is dual carriageway from Norwich (24 miles) to the A14 giving a swift route to Newmarket (30 miles) and Cambridge (45 miles). Bury St Edmunds is around 18 miles away and both the North Norfolk Coast and Heritage Coast around Southwold are around an hour away.

For the commuter, there is a mainline station at Diss just 10 miles away which is on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line (90 minutes) and this is due to be upgraded in the next few years. Alternatively there is the Norwich to Cambridge line at Thetford around 6 miles away with connections to London Kings Cross.

This is an interesting village house with great access to the wider world.

The Property This property offers a fantastic combination of period character against quite contemporary styled living spaces with big bright rooms. The property was built in 1837 as a Quaker Chapel and has had various uses over the years being eventually converted to a house in 1992. The current owners have remodelled various areas and brought it up to modern standards ultimately creating a stylish and quite individual 'character and modern' family home which they have enjoyed for the last 25 years or so. The configuration is such that there is a great deal of flexibility in how rooms are used and whilst noted as having up to six bedrooms, many areas could be repurposed as home working areas or perhaps even multi-generational living areas.

Outside One of the delights of this property is the grounds which are walled and with space to bring up a family but small enough to allow free time to do other things. In many ways this is an ideal 'lockup and go' property for those looking to split their time both here and abroad. The rear is laid to lawn with flower borders and a covered 'Gin Deck' provides a delightful evening escape area in this very private and sheltered south facing space. There is access down the side and at the front the wrought iron railings have a sliding gate allowing access to the integral garage. Additionally the parking at the front is unrestricted.

Services Mains water, electricity, gas, and drainage are connected. Gas fired boiler providing heating to radiators.

Directions From Diss heading west on the A1066 towards Thetford, turn right at the Fox Inn in Garboldisham and head into East Harling. Through the market square, passing both pubs on your left, around the left bend and The Old Friends' Meeting House is a little way along on the left.
