Set on Market Street in the heart of Shipdham, this substantial detached home blends period character with a modern farmhouse aesthetic. The flexible layout offers four bedrooms plus a versatile fifth room ideal as a home office or studio, making it suitable for growing families or those working from home. The open-plan living and kitchen area is light-filled and social — designed for everyday family life and entertaining.
Outside, a large, private mature rear garden and generous gravel driveway provide practical outdoor space and off-street parking for several vehicles. The property is move‑in ready yet offers clear scope to personalise and improve, especially for buyers who want to add their own finish or energy upgrades.
Practical points to note: the house is a late‑19th‑century build with solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) and an Energy Performance Certificate indicating lower efficiency, so targeted insulation or energy improvements could be beneficial. Broadband speeds in the village are reported as slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council Tax is low (Band B) and local facilities — primary school, shops, pub and countryside walks — are within easy reach, supporting a relaxed rural lifestyle.
This home will suit buyers seeking space, village living and a flexible layout with outdoor privacy. It balances immediate comfort with potential for energy upgrades and cosmetic personalisation; a viewing will help assess where to focus improvements.
