Set in the peaceful Hickling Pastures hamlet, Lea Cottage is a substantial detached family home with generous living space and about 0.5 acre of private garden. The ground floor flows between a modern breakfast kitchen, three reception rooms and an oversized utility, while upstairs provides three large doubles plus a master suite with adjoining dressing room that can serve as a fourth bedroom.
The property has been well presented with contemporary kitchen fittings, good natural light and characterful solid-brick walls. Practical features include a double carport, gated access and ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Energy rating D and oil-fired boiler with radiator heating are in place.
Notable considerations: the external walls are solid brick with no known insulation (likely requiring improvement for modern efficiency), heating relies on oil, and previous planning consent for a rear extension and a single-storey dwelling in the garden has lapsed. Council Tax Band F reflects higher running costs. The site’s size and previous approvals offer clear potential for extension or redevelopment, subject to securing new planning permission.
This home will suit buyers seeking a quiet rural lifestyle with plenty of outdoor space and flexible accommodation, and those prepared to invest in energy upgrades or pursue planning to unlock further value.
