Property description
NO CHAIN!
Sowerbys are pleased to offer this attractive red-brick fronted former farm workers cottage, which has undergone a substantial period of renovation and extension by the current owners. Plenty of the original charm has been carefully restored, meaning the homely atmosphere has very much been retained. The accommodation briefly comprises sitting room with a superb inglenook fireplace with wood-burner, newly fitted kitchen, utility room and a luxuriously appointed bathroom on the ground floor; with three bedrooms on the first floor. The kitchen, utility room and bathroom benefit from underfloor heating. The property enjoys a well sized garden to the rear, which measures approximately 100ft in length from the back of the house. From the bottom of the garden, views of the surrounding farmland can be best enjoyed. There is also a pleasant shingle courtyard immediately to the rear of the cottage which is ideal for outside entertaining. There is the added benefit of a timber garage and off-road car parking space located at the end of the row of cottages. Given the convenient proximity to the A1067, this house is ideally situated for both north Norfolk and Norwich; whether as a full-time residence or holiday cottage.
