This compact brick-and-flint end-terrace cottage offers an affordable town-centre start in Thetford. Two bedrooms, a comfortable reception room and a fully enclosed rear garden suit a first-time buyer or landlord seeking a straightforward, low-footprint property. Chain-free sale and close walking distance to the bus interchange make moving in or letting simple.
Practical upgrades already in place include mains gas central heating and double glazing, helping with year-round comfort and running costs. The house is small (approximately 606 sq ft) and arranged over two floors, so it suits buyers comfortable with modest room sizes and a compact layout. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
Buyers should note material local and property considerations. The area has above-average crime and is classed as deprived, with a local demographic profile including constrained renters and a lower higher-education rate. The original granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated and an EPC is not provided, so energy performance and insulation improvements may be desirable. Overall this is a budget-friendly, characterful cottage with practical basics in place, best for buyers prioritising location and price over space and turn-key finish.
