“Annex”, 3 Rooms including Shower Room

Kitchen / Dinning Room from entrance door.

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

It is attached to the back of the main house in which I live. It over looks the rear garden, the vegetable garden, woodland towards the river Waveney beyond.

Set beside the “Redgrave and Lopham Fen” with the Waveney river running just behind we are surrounded by an intensely beautiful and 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 with all it’s amenities and main line train to London Liverpool St is approximately 3 miles to the east, and 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 also very nearby almost equidistant south and southwest respectively.

Redgrave has a lovely Community pub and community shop and Wortham has a great post office and tea rooms as well as a gastro pub.

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

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 provides a friendly meeting place for all comings and goings and 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”, 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 ….!

Please note there is No wall to wall carpet or power showers…!!!!

It’s a low-fi rural life style, not for woossies..!

In reality and as a metaphor it’s probably best if you’re the kind of person who’s into 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 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 from home, but there maybe scope to consider a part time version, maybe creatively..💭.

We would be happy to consider a pet if compatible with her highness in residence…! 🤞

Unfortunately I feel it is unsuitable for couples and therefore politely suggest single occupancy only please…

If you would please bare in mind this is a rural, holistic, “green” environment the principles of which are dear to our hearts you’ll understand therefore we’d hope for a similarly motivated “someone” who shares these sensibilities.

Any further questions please ask.

We look forwards to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Julian
