Summary - EMPIRE COTTAGE HIGH STREET HILGAY DOWNHAM MARKET PE38 0HX
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Village-living family home with private south-facing garden and study.
Detached four-bedroom cottage with period features and open fireplace
A charming four-bedroom detached cottage set on High Street in Hilgay, offering traditional character and a private south-facing garden. Period features include a bay-windowed lounge with brick fireplace and open fire, exposed brickwork in the study, and a welcoming entrance lobby. The layout suits family living with a kitchen/diner, separate lounge, office/study and four bedrooms arranged over two floors.
Practical details are clear: freehold tenure, council tax band C and an EPC rating of E. The property has uPVC double glazing and a stable door to the rear garden, but the EPC indicates potential for energy improvements. There is a single bathroom serving four bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger families or those seeking en-suite facilities.
Positioned around five miles from Downham Market with a rail link to King’s Lynn and Cambridge, the village location gives easy access to local shops, a village hall, church and small primary schools with good Ofsted ratings. The plot is small but the mature, private garden is south-facing and well-suited to low-maintenance outdoor living. Overall this is a characterful home with scope for modest updating and energy upgrades.
