Sowerbys are pleased to offer this individual Victorian cottage, set in the most idyllic of rural surroundings with open field views and unlimited access on to miles of countryside walks. The house is only a few miles from the popular village of Mattishall, but enjoys an outstanding sense of privacy and tranquillity.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms in all; of particular note is the master room which includes a dressing area with a large walk-in wardrobe and a recently refurbished luxury en-suite bath and shower room.



In addition to the main house there is also an independent barn which offers scope to be used as a holiday cottage, long-term let or annexe. The barn is open-plan on both floors with a shower room on the ground floor and a kitchenette upstairs.



The gardens are a unique selling feature to the house, with a well maintained south-west facing lawn with pond and various seating areas. To the north east there is a well -stocked fruit and vegetable garden. At the rear of the house there is a paved terrace which literally steps out on to the neighbouring farmland.
