Set within the heart of Wortham Ling, this property enjoys a rural yet not isolated position, situated just 2 miles from the outskirts of Diss. The Ling has long been a highly sought after location, with properties rarely becoming available. Surrounded by open heathland and the picturesque Waveney Valley, the cottage boasts stunning, far reaching views over unspoiled and undulating countryside. The nearby village of Wortham located off the A143 on the northern Suffolk borders , the village is well established and offers a charming array of period and attractive properties, predominantly centred around the expansive village green. Local amenities include a village shop, a public house, a village hall with sports facilities, and a school. For a wider range of amenities, the historic market town of Diss lies approximately 2 miles to the east and offers an extensive and diverse range of facilities as well as a mainline railway station offering regular and direct services to both London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

The property comprises a period three bedroom cottage which is thought to date back to the late 19th century. As the name suggests Mill Cottage , it was once home to the miller who worked at the neighbouring Ling Corn Mill, which was demolished in the 1920s. In recent years, the cottage has been significantly enhanced and extended, now offering versatile accommodation with each room enjoying pleasing views of the surrounding countryside. Essentially, the property boasts three main living areas with an open plan layout. The kitchen integrates seamlessly with the front facing reception room, creating a well proportioned space with a lovely focal point featuring a fireplace and inset cast iron stove. There are two further reception rooms, separated by exposed studwork, which also enjoy far reaching views. Additionally, on the ground floor, there is the benefit of a utility room, a ground floor WC and ample built in storage cupboard space. On the first floor, all three bedrooms are doubles with the two larger bedrooms enjoying the luxury of en suite facilities. The principal bedroom further boasts a Juliet balcony overlooking the picturesque Waveney Valley.

Externally, the property is set back from a small and quiet country lane and accessed via a five bar gate leading into the gardens. The gardens are enclosed by established hedging and enjoy a southerly aspect, overlooking the unspoiled rural countryside. They are predominantly laid to lawn, with a shingle area at the front of the house leading to a paved patio area. Adjacent to this is a large summerhouse studio which is insulated and has power light connected. At the rear of the property a large paved patio area provides an excellent space for alfresco dining, offering a beautiful backdrop of the undulating countryside along the Waveney Valley.
