This late-Victorian mid-terrace cottage combines period charm with manageable running costs in a popular village setting. Three bedrooms, a cosy lounge with fireplace and a bright garden room give flexible living across a compact footprint ideal for a first home or starter family.
The rear garden is low-maintenance, mainly paved with a covered seating area and pond — attractive for buyers wanting outdoor space without intensive upkeep. The property has double glazing and oil-fired central heating; council tax is very low, helping monthly affordability.
Buyers should note the house is modest in size and will suit those prepared for cosmetic updating rather than a full modernisation. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the kitchen and some finishes are dated, so improvement works could add value. There is a flying freehold and an existing Right of Way at the property; these are material legal points to investigate before purchase.
Hilgay offers village amenities, a good primary school and riverside walks, with Downham Market and its mainline station a short drive away — convenient for commuting or links to larger towns. Overall, this is a characterful, affordable cottage for buyers looking to personalise a period home close to transport and local services.
