Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this pleasantly located three bedroom bungalow, occupying a delightful plot of around 1.05 acres (sts) with river frontage in the village of East Bilney. The grounds are a stand out feature of the property, with gardens to the side and rear of the bungalow and an expanse of meadow which leads down to the river. It should also be noted that part of the garden may offer planning potential, subject to the necessary consents. The bungalow itself was built in the 1950's and is in need of modernisation in a number of areas. The accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting room, garden room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and shower room. In addition, there is a covered side passage, across which there is a utility room, cloakroom and garage. 

EAST BILNEY Situated approximately 7 miles south of the market town of Fakenham and 6 miles north west of Dereham, both of which have regular farmers markets and excellent shopping facilities. The local Medieval church of St Mary is a grade II listed building which was restored and largely rebuilt in Victorian times. A stained glass window is dedicated to the memory of martyr Thomas Bilney who was born in the village in 1495. The village sign is copied from this window.
