Set on a substantial, mature plot in the quiet hamlet of Small Lode, this three-bedroom detached cottage offers classic character and practical family space. The large lounge with a feature fireplace links to a study, while a generous kitchen and separate boot/utility room add everyday functionality. A workshop and brick outbuilding provide useful storage and scope for conversion.
The house sits in an agricultural, semi‑remote setting with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — good for homeworking — and easy road access to Downham Market for rail links. Gardens are private and extensive, backing onto open farmland and offering significant outside space for children, pets or gardening projects.
Practical considerations: heating is oil‑fired to radiators and the property has solid brick walls thought to lack cavity insulation, so running costs and upgrading should be factored in. There is only one bathroom and the building dates from before 1900, so some maintenance and modernisation may be required. The site lies in a medium flood‑risk area and the wider neighbourhood shows higher deprivation indicators.
This detached cottage will suit buyers seeking a rural family home with scope to personalise and improve. It offers immediate occupation with no onward chain and a rare, large plot in a peaceful fenland location.
