Location: This fine Grade II Listed house is set in an elevated position back from the road and almost hidden from view. It is a prime position within this bustling market town which is centred around the Mere (a natural lake). Within the town there is a wide selection of shopping and social facilities together with good sporting amenities including rugby, tennis and football clubs together with an 18 hole golf course. There are good road and rail links with both Norwich and Ipswich around 25 miles away, Bury St Edmunds around 18 miles and London Liverpool Street being a 90 minute train journey from the station in Diss.

The Property: Houghton House is Listed as Grade II indicating a property of architectural or historical importance. It is believed to be from the early to mid 1800's and much of the original character has been kept including the heavy and wide panelled front door set between the fluted Doric columns and glazed light above. This opens into the hallway with its traditional tessellated tiled floor. A number of the large sash windows have the original shutters and in the principal reception rooms the original coving and ceiling roses remain. The period panel doors and fireplaces continue to give a sense of the house having been untouched. The rooms throughout are well proportioned and a number have very generous ceilingheights. Whilst having been maintained over the years it is fair to say that some of the fixtures and fittings, most notably the bathrooms and kitchen, are perhaps a little dated in style which allows the new owner to put their own mark on the property.

Outside: It is not often one can find a town house of such good proportions set in nearly an acre of attractive garden. The house is set back from the road with the drive sweeping up to and in front of the house and down the side leading to the garage, above which is a painter's studio. Consent has been obtained in the past for a further garage to the front. The most noticeable feature at the front is the very large copper beech and mature hedge boundaries offering considerable privacy. To the

An elegant early 19th Century town house set in delightful grounds approaching an acre.

3 principal reception rooms, study, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, 2 bathrooms, up to 6 bedrooms.

Domestic outbuildings including greenhouse, garage with studio over and store.
