Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this impressive chalet style property, occupying a pleasantly sized plot on the outskirts of Hingham and only a few moments away from miles of unspoilt countryside walks. The property has been largely updated by the current owners, who have also improved the energy efficiency of the property by installing photovoltaic solar panels and an air source heat pump, making it an incredibly cost effective property to run; in fact the solar PV system provides an income of almost £2,000 per year (detailed records of income are available from the vendor). The accommodation briefly comprises reception hall, bay-fronted sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room/snug, conservatory, three ground floor bedrooms, shower, bathroom and a large utility room on the ground floor; with the superb master bedroom and en-suite cloakroom upstairs. To one side of the property there is a tandem garage with an electrically operated roller door opening on to the driveway. Outside, there are pleasant gardens at the side and rear with several seating areas, whilst there is abundant vehicle parking to the front.  

HINGHAM Hingham is a market town situated in the heart of rural Norfolk. Grand Georgian architecture surrounds the market place and village green. It was in the 18th century when the socialites of high society built and took residence in Hingham that it became fashionably known as &147;little London&148;. The many and varied local shops have the special character of a small market town but are up-to-date in what they provide. Despite the influence and attractions of neighbouring Norwich, an active and independent town life continues to thrive and grow. The White Hart Hotel has recently re-opened following re-development by the popular 'Flying Kiwi Inns'. The town is located 17 miles from the Cathedral city of Norwich, which has a large number of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and services.
