Summary - 34 ST GILES LANE THETFORD IP24 2AE
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Character cottage with recent roof and window renewals, ideal for commuters.
Walking distance to railway station and bus interchange
A period two-bedroom cottage in the heart of Thetford, this end-terrace offers surprisingly generous living space with a two-storey rear extension and two reception rooms. Recent major updates — a replacement roof and new UPVC windows and doors completed in 2023 — reduce immediate external maintenance. The main reception features a wood-burning stove and exposed beams, giving character alongside practical, contemporary finishes.
The property is well placed for commuters, within comfortable walking distance of the railway station and bus interchange, and close to town-centre amenities. The fully enclosed, south-east facing courtyard garden is low-maintenance and secure, suitable for outdoor seating rather than large-scale gardening. Services are connected and the house is offered freehold with a low council tax band.
Important practical points are clear: the EPC is recorded as E despite recent improvements, and the local area statistics highlight very high crime and deprivation indices — factors any buyer should weigh when considering security and long-term value. The advertised plot size is listed as huge/massive (verify boundaries and measurement at survey).
This home will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a centrally positioned period property requiring little exterior work but offering scope to personalise interiors. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and to appreciate the flexible layout created by the rear extension.
