Charming village home with private gardens and upgrade potential.
Victorian brick-and-flint cottage with period features and wood-burning stove
Separate annex with shower room — recent decoration, flexible use
Private courtyard garden plus detached larger garden across the road
Small overall size: approx. 585 sq ft — compact accommodation
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — consider insulation work
Electric storage heaters — potentially higher running costs
Double glazing installed post-2002 throughout main house
No flood risk; village location with local amenities and coastal access
This brick-and-flint Victorian cottage blends period character with compact, practical living. The main house provides three bedrooms and a traditional lounge with a wood-burning stove, while a separately accessed annex offers flexible space for guests, home working, or rental income. Two bathrooms and a private courtyard add convenience for everyday life in the village.
The plot is a standout: a secluded courtyard garden directly off the house plus a further detached garden across the road with space for outbuildings or a vegetable plot. The property sits in a popular rural village with easy access to local amenities and a 25-minute drive to the North Norfolk coast at Wells-next-the-Sea.
Buyers should note the cottage is small (approximately 585 sq ft) and built with solid brick walls likely without insulation. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be costly to run and may prompt buyers to consider modern heating or insulation improvements. Double glazing was installed after 2002, and the annex has been recently redecorated, but a full survey is recommended to identify any further maintenance needs.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful village cottage with garden space and potential to upgrade energy performance. It is an appealing option for downsizers wanting a manageable property with additional annex flexibility, or couples and small families looking for a charming base near the Norfolk coast.
