Owl Cottage is a thoughtfully converted two-bedroom barn offering generous, characterful living across two floors. Exposed brickwork, visible beams and a double-height hallway give the interior strong personality while the open-plan sitting/dining room and fitted kitchen provide comfortable daily living. The property totals about 1,021 sq ft and sits on a small, hard-landscaped plot with a sunny westerly garden and paved seating/BBQ areas.
Practical features include underfloor heating in parts of the house alongside oil-fired radiators, sealed-unit double glazing, allocated parking for two vehicles and visitor spaces. The location at the Thursford crossroads places the cottage equidistant between Holt and Fakenham with easy access to the A148; local amenities include a pub, petrol station and the Thursford Collection, while larger facilities and shops are a short drive away.
Buyers should note some material points: the heating relies on oil (running costs and future maintenance considerations), drainage is private (non-mains), and the EPC is band D. The plot is modest in size and there is a single well-fitted shower room rather than multiple bathrooms. These factors make the cottage particularly suited to couples, those seeking a rural base or holiday let investors rather than large families seeking extensive outdoor space.
Overall, Owl Cottage combines rural charm, off-street parking and contemporary touches in a quiet hamlet setting. It will appeal to purchasers wanting characterful accommodation with low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and to investors looking for a holiday or assured shorthold let in North Norfolk.
