Three double bedrooms with large landing used as extra family room.
22ft farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast with wood burner and dining space.
Two reception rooms; sitting room and dining/family areas, both with stoves.
Generous plot ~0.25 acres; garden approx. 70ft x 70ft backing onto fields.
Private gated driveway and brick-and-flint garage/workshop on site.
Solid brick construction likely without cavity insulation; energy upgrades needed.
Heated by LPG boiler; EPC rating E — expect higher running costs.
Single family shower room only; property requires some updating/refurbishment.
Set on a generous 0.25-acre plot on the edge of Shouldham Thorpe, this extended cottage offers rural living with practical family space. The house retains character features — dual wood burners, a farmhouse-style kitchen and a spacious landing used as an extra family room — while providing straightforward accommodation of three double bedrooms and a ground-floor cloakroom.
The large 22ft kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining dining and sitting rooms create flexible ground-floor living for cooking, dining and relaxed evenings by the stove. Outside, a gated private driveway leads to a brick-and-flint garage/workshop and a roughly 70ft x 70ft garden that backs onto open fields, giving privacy and wide countryside views.
Practical considerations are clear and honest: the house is solid brick (likely uninsulated as built), heated by an LPG boiler, and currently rated EPC E. There is one family shower room only, and parts of the property will benefit from updating or insulation improvements. These points mean the cottage is best suited to buyers who value location and space and are willing to invest modestly to improve energy efficiency and modern comforts.
This cottage will particularly suit families or purchasers seeking a rural village lifestyle close to good local schools and easy road links to King’s Lynn and Downham Market. For those wanting a characterful home with scope to enhance energy performance and add value, the plot and layout present clear potential.
