The Property
2 Castle Farm Cottages comprises a semi-detached cottage, which is understood to have been constructed in the early 20th century with brick external elevations, under a tiled roof. The property was originally constructed as a three bedroom property, but was converted into two larger double bedrooms a number of years ago.
On entering the property a light entrance hall proceeds into the main sitting room. The room is lovely and cozy with a multi-fuel stove inset into the fireplace with a spacious under stairs cupboard. A wooden door then opens out into the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a number of work units, a butler sink and also provides space for a 'Rangemaster' cooker. To the end of the room is space for a breakfast table or further units, with a pantry adjacent. The conservatory was relocated to create a lovely open plan kitchen/dining space. At the rear is a lovely bathroom with hand wash basin, vanity sink and roll top bath.
Up on the first floor are the two double bedrooms, both have built in cupboards and charming Victorian feature fireplaces.
Outside
On approach a five bar gate leads into a pretty front garden with a sweeping driveway, water fountain and flower borders. The drive continues down the side of the plot to the rear, where you will find ample parking/turning space and two sheds. This space could easily accommodate a double garage or car-lodge subject to relevant planning consents. The formal lawned gardens are behind the property with a number of mature flower borders and shrubs, which offer a wide range of colours in the Spring/Summer months. Furthermore there is a lovely alfresco dining area and an outside store/laundry/utility room. In all 0.25 acres (sts).
Location
Wingfield boasts a bold history, once being the seat of one of the most powerful families in England - the De La Poles.

The two neighbouring villages of Stradbroke & Fressingfield both have village stores, doctors, schools and pubs with Stradbroke having an exceptionally good set up with a swimming pool, community centre, gym, tennis courts and butchers. For further facilities, the neighbouring towns of Harleston, Framlingham and Diss are well equipt. In particular the market town of Diss has a mainline train station to London Liverpool Street.
