There’s so much to draw you to this cottage – in it you can live your dream life in the country but you’re close to main roads and amenities so you don’t have to sacrifice convenience. Carefully and lovingly maintained by the owners over the years, there’s no work to do – while the outbuildings and secure garden will appeal to anyone working from home, people with family or pets, as well as those with hobbies.

Moving With The Times This lovely home has been in the family since 1990 and has been home to more than one generation during this time and much loved by them all. The owners were firstly drawn to the position with those glorious views on offer from around the house. Surrounded by private and protected land, you can rest easy the outlook won’t be changing in the foreseeable future and can be enjoyed for years to come. It’s thought the cottage dates back to around 1860 and was originally a two-up, two-down farm labourer’s home. The owners have significantly extended the ground floor and then the first, providing versatile and family- friendly accommodation and doubling the property’s footprint. In recent times they have also replastered, replaced the electrics, fitted a wood burner that’s hardly been used, installed a new boiler around a year ago and have insulated throughout. The result is a low maintenance and easy care home.

Everything You’re After It’s also a very flexible property, with two lovely reception rooms, one on each side of the attractive kitchen, so you can have a formal dining room or a main sitting room with separate playroom or snug. “It’s so cosy gathering in the sitting room in front of the wood burner under the old oak beams,” smile the owners. The second reception has a fresher, more summery feel, so each come into their own at different times of day or in different seasons. Doors lead out from the sitting room onto the garden too, so you can get fresh air flowing in and a cool breeze on hot days. There are two staircases and each takes you up to two bedrooms and a bath or shower room, so it’s perfect if your kids want their own part of the house or if you have regular weekend visitors. And while the views from the ground floor stretch far over open fields, the outlook from the bedrooms is even more beguiling.

A Handy Position The rear garden is fully enclosed and very safe. The owners have a greenhouse – ideal for keen gardeners, plus an excellent selection of outbuildings, including a cabin or summerhouse with television point and a workshop perfect for hobbies. There’s plenty of wildlife passing through, both in the garden and in the fields around. Another bonus is the ability to gate the terraced area immediately outside the house which comes in handy if you have young children and want to keep them in view. The location is a huge draw – you’re close to the centre of the village with its pub and close to the A143, so is just down the road and the also nearby. “We often head to the Norfolk and coast from here, making the most of traditional resorts, nature reserves and beautiful places to walk,” the owners explain.

“The cottage is very pretty and sits in beautiful surroundings. The views are glorious!”

“We have doubled the size of the property and it’s now very versatile.”

“There are a number of useful outbuildings in the garden so you can make a lot of the outside space, whether you want a summerhouse, games room or workshop – it’s all there!”

“There’s plenty of parking to the front of the house and even room for a caravan or boat to the side.”

“We have neighbours but a real sense of privacy and tranquility. It’s very quiet here.”

“The cottage is packed full of character and has a lovely welcoming feel to it.” Local Authority: Council Council Tax Band: C
