Summary - Flint Cottage, Alby Hill, Alby NR11 7PJ
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Private woodland-edge plot with planning consent for a three-bedroom replacement.
South-facing garden, almost 0.44 acre with brook and woodland edge
Flint Cottage is a compact, characterful two-bedroom home set on the edge of broadleaf woodland. The house has been recently refreshed and benefits from generous natural light, vaulted ceilings to the open-plan sitting/dining area and two woodburners that add warmth and atmosphere throughout the year.
A major value driver is the existing planning consent to replace the cottage with a contemporary three-bedroom dwelling (North Norfolk District Council ref: PF/21/3413), offering buyers a clear route to a larger, modern home on the same plot. The south-facing garden of almost half an acre gently slopes to a brook and provides a private, wildlife-rich setting with parking, carport, garage and potential for landscaping or garden redesign.
Important practical points are set out plainly. The property currently has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation and an EPC rating of F; heating is by room heaters and solid fuel with provisions for an oil boiler. One bedroom is accessed via the other and the house uses private drainage. These factors affect running costs and may require improvement if retained as the long-term dwelling.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a tranquil countryside base within reach of Holt, Cromer and Norwich, this plot combines immediate, comfortable accommodation with clear redevelopment potential. It is offered freehold and chain free, making it straightforward for someone who wants a quiet home now or a planned rebuild later.
