Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this charming brick and flint cottage, occupying a delightful plot of around 0.3 acres (sts) on a quiet country lane in the pretty village of Whissonsett. The property, which was formerly a row of farm workers cottages, was refurbished from a state of dereliction in the mid-2000's by a highly regarded local builder. Much of the character of the original property has been retained, with exposed panels of brick and flint work on display as well as timber beams and pamment floors. The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch, sitting room with fireplace, conservatory, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, shower room and utility room arranged around the reception hall, where a timber staircase rises to the first floor landing. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, two of which are generously sized double aspect rooms, one with an en-suite shower room and the other with en-suite cloakroom; as well as the family bathroom. Outside, the grounds are well sized with a lawned garden to the front and a south facing rear garden which has been partitioned into various sections. There is also a detached single garage and off-road car parking for several vehicles. 

WHISSONSETT Whissonsett is a small village that prides itself on its sense of community. It has a long history of fundraising and has also won competitions for best-kept village in 1996 and Anglia in Bloom award in 1994. The village has a bowling green, village hall, a horticultural society, keep fit group and Women's Institute, amongst other things. Whissonsett is in the catchment area for both the sought after and high performing Litcham School as well as Brisley Primary School with its Outstanding rated Ofsted report. St Mary's Church dates in part to the 14th and 15th centuries. The church features a particularly wide nave, a tower with buttresses and battlements with gargoyles. The village sign, designed by a villager features an apple (referring to the orchards run by the Stangroom family), stocks (no longer in the village), a well (no longer the source of water but still in existence) and a windmill (the village used to have two windmills). The market town of Fakenham is approximately four miles away whilst Dereham is a little further, approximately seven miles away.
