Location Hopton House is very well set on the approach into the popular village of Hopton. The village has a good range of day to day facilities including a mini market, public houses, church, doctors, dentist, plant centre and primary school (Ofsted ‘outstanding’). With its location, Hopton provides good access to a choice of further education in the state and private sectors in Suffolk and Norfolk. The surrounding countryside is very attractive and offers numerous walks with Knettishall Heath just a short distance away where three of the country's long distance walks meet. Hopton is well placed for a number of larger towns and cities including (12 miles) Diss (10 miles), Norwich (27 miles), and Cambridge (42 miles) with the journey much easier now with the A11 fully dualled and there are train stations at Diss and Thetford with commuting access to London (Liverpool Street and Kings Cross).

The Property Hopton House is a very elegant house outside which does not disappoint internally. The current owners have carefully brought this house round from being simply an elegant house to one which is both elegant and practical. The careful hand at the tiller has enabled so much of the original character to remain whilst bringing it all up to modern standar ds. The front section of the house is believed to date from the 18th century and is the grand part with the wonderful wide hall and tessellated tiled floor giving a view from front to back. The two principal reception rooms have the original shutters to the bay windows, open fireplaces, deep skirtings and lovely high ceilings. However, one of the favourite rooms is the snug with its gothic arched windows and cosier feel. The kitchen and breakfast room are superbly fitted and bright, with double doors onto the garden. There is both an Aga and a cooking range giving options for the cook and flexibility with the seasons.

This house could easily accommodate an annex as the two further receptions rooms can be separately accessed from the drive and there is a ground floor bathroom all within an area which can be closed off (ideal for home office or dual generation occupation).

There are five bedrooms on the first floor and two further rooms in the attic which are used as occasional bedrooms and storage.

Outside The gated side access leads around to the rear where there is parking for numerous cars. The principal garden is to the south side of the house and is particularly private. The central lawn has matures trees and bushes around its edge giving year roun d interest, and there is a patio beneath a timber pergola adorned with climbers which is immediately outside the kitchen doors. The grounds overall extend to approximately 0.178ha (0.44ac).
