Old Severalls Road, Methwold Hythe, 5 bedroom, Detached House

Believed to date back to the 1700's, Corner House was once known as 'The Old Sun', one of a number of well patronized public houses in the village and originally known as 'The Best Beer Under The Sun' until it was run as a sweet shop and general stores in the 1950's. The property has been a residential property in more recent times and has been improved and modernized over the years. In more recent years the house has been further improved and tastefully updated and modernised to offer comfortable and well presented accommodation throughout.

In addition to the large lounge with open fireplace and wood burning stove, there is a sitting room or snug (or Dining Room), also with an open fireplace,which lies directly off the spacious farmhouse kitchen/diner. There is also a utility room with WC off. The cellar has been converted to provide a very useful decorated basement office with a staircase leading off the lounge..

To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the master benefitting from an en suite shower room. There is also a well appointed family bathroom. Other features include a full oil fired central heating system and Upvc double glazing throughout.

To the side of the property a former outbuilding/barn has been converted into a lovely one bedroom annexe cottage.This was tastefully converted to create a unique and charming self contained property, again with quality fixtures and fittings including a lovely well fitted contempory kitchen and shower room; electric underfloor heating and Upvc double glazing.

The property benefits from twin vehicular access off both Severalls Road and Old Severalls Road with excellent parking, a large garage/workshop, a purpose built outside bar and well stocked mature gardens.
