An 18th-century chalk-lump cottage, comprehensively renovated in 2024, offering more than 1,800 sq ft of flexible living in a desirable Methwold village location. High-spec open-plan kitchen, two generous reception rooms and a large principal bedroom with a luxury en-suite provide comfortable family living while retaining period character such as exposed stonework and an open fireplace with fitted stove.
Practical upgrades include a complete electrical rewire, new heating installation and building-control certification for the works completed. The property also benefits from a large, renovated cellar for storage, a low-maintenance westerly rear garden with Indian sandstone paving and raised decking, plus enclosed front garden and pleasant views over the village green.
Buyers should note a few material points to verify: the listing contains conflicting heating information (electric storage heaters stated in the specification but services note refers to oil heating) and the original chalk lump walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. The EPC is currently E. The plot is small and the property is end-terrace, so outside space is modest compared with detached rural homes.
Well-placed for commuting, Methwold offers easy road links to Ely, Cambridge, King’s Lynn and Thetford Forest nearby for recreation. This cottage suits families or buyers seeking a character home already renovated to modern standards, but those wanting the highest energy efficiency should budget for possible additional insulation or heating changes.
