The Old Chapel as the name suggests was a former chapel which dates back to approximately 1870. The chapel was discontinued in the 1960s and the chapel was originally converted into a private residence in the 1970s. The house retains much character and charm from the original building, but the house itself is more akin with cottage style although remnants of the chapel still remain.



On entering via the front porchway you will proceed into the large, spacious sitting room, which is lovely and light, being dual aspect with french doors opening out into the garden. The room is centered around the feature fireplace, with inset oil fired stove. The snug is open plan to the sitting room, which has a brick feature wall, with french doors leading out into the garden. The third reception room is the dining room. Adjacent to the kitchen, the room offers a light and airy space perfect for entertaining with a large opening into the triple aspect refitted kitchen which has a selection of wall and base units all in painted natural wood, with granite work surfaces over. The room has space for appliances, space for an American fridge/freezer and a door leading out into the side garden. An unusual yet striking feature is that the room has an oil fired stove, similar to the fire in the sitting room. A utility room, family bathroom and bedroom/study complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are three well proportioned bedrooms all with charming views over the rolling arable fields which surround the property. In addition, all the rooms have built in wardrobes – offering a good amount of storage. A door from the landing leads to the Jack & Jill shower room which has been completely refitted with a large corner shower, low level dual flush wc, a vanity hand wash basin and also has purpose built storage cupboards with granite work surfaces over. This shower room also links to the master bedroom, which has a pleasant dual aspect with windows looking to the front and back of the property.



Outside

The property is approached by a sweeping driveway which proceeds through the front double gates and along the front of the property, providing a good amount of parking. At one end of the house you will find a newly constructed carport, while at the other you will find the attached garage, which is currently split to provide a useful utility room. The gardens are mainly laid to lawns with a number of flower beds and shrubs to the borders. In one corner of the plot is a vegetable garden, with a number of raised beds all enclosed by trellis fencing. A raised patio area provides a lovely terrace which overlooks the adjacent pond, the gardens and field views beyond. In all 1/5 of an acre (sts).

Diss has a further range of facilities including three supermarkets, pharmacies, doctors, chemists and other high street retailers. The town also has a mainline train station and a popular Friday market.
