This detached bungalow sits on a generous plot in the peaceful village of Thursford, an easy drive from Holt and the North Norfolk coast. The single-storey layout, conservatory and separate dining room create comfortable, adaptable living on one level — appealing for downsizers wanting garden space without stairs. The property measures about 776 sqft, so rooms are well-proportioned but the overall footprint is modest.
The house’s strengths are straightforward: three bedrooms, a light-filled lounge with dual-aspect windows, a kitchen with adjoining utility and conservatory, and an integral garage with internal access. The garden is substantial and offers clear potential for landscaping, whether you prefer a low-maintenance layout or a more planted retreat. The village location benefits from very low crime, excellent mobile signal and local amenities including a pub, shop and seasonal attractions.
There are some practical issues to be aware of. The property was constructed before 1900 with assumed solid brick walls and no cavity insulation, and heating is by electric storage heaters — both suggesting energy efficiency and insulation upgrades would be needed. Broadband is average and there is only one bathroom plus a separate toilet, which may be limiting for some households. Some modernization and possible repair works should be expected to bring the house up to contemporary standards.
This home suits a buyer seeking a quiet rural base with immediate single-level living and scope to improve energy performance and interior finishes. It’s equally relevant for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing private outdoor space, or as a renovation project for adding long-term value given the large plot and convenient coastal access.
