Spacious four-bed cottage on a huge plot with garage studio and countryside views.
Greatly extended period cottage, approx. 1,753 sq ft
Set on a substantial plot in the small hamlet of Pockthorpe, this greatly extended four-bedroom cottage balances period charm with practical updates. The house has been improved in recent years — new roof (2013) and replacement windows and doors (2018) — and offers well-proportioned living across about 1,753 sq ft, including a generous kitchen/dining room, sitting room with open fire and a separate snug.
Outside, a gated driveway leads to a detached single garage with a powered studio above, currently accessed by an external stair. That garage/studio presents clear potential for conversion into an independent dwelling subject to planning consent, which will interest buyers seeking extra income or flexible accommodation. The rear garden is large and laid mainly to lawn with mature borders and a terrace overlooking adjoining farmland — excellent for family outdoor life and hobby gardening.
Practical details to note: services include mains water and electricity but drainage is to a septic tank, the cooker hob uses LPG cylinders, and heating information supplied includes an air-source heat pump with radiators (electric) — purchasers should verify service arrangements. Part of the first floor oversails a shared passageway with the neighbour. The property is sold freehold and chain-free, with fast broadband and generally good mobile signal, making remote working feasible despite the rural setting.
This home will suit families wanting generous indoor space and a large private plot with countryside views, or buyers looking for a project to add value via the garage/studio conversion. Its hamlet location gives peace and privacy but limited local services, so access to nearby villages and King’s Lynn will be important for everyday facilities.
