Holly Cottage is a detached, characterful two-bedroom property set in a large private plot on the edge of West Somerton. The living room showcases high ceilings, exposed beams and a brick-accented fireplace with a log burner, while a second reception room works well as a dining area or home office. The kitchen, separate utility and ground-floor WC add practical daily convenience.
Outside, extensive landscaped gardens with mature shrubs, a large lawn, patio, two summerhouses and woodland-backdrop provide peaceful outdoor living and scope for gardening or entertaining. A carport and ample off-street parking are practical assets for countryside life. The cottage lies within The Broads Authority area and is a short drive from coastal attractions such as Horsey Gap.
Important practical points: the property has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, oil-fired heating, an EPC rating of F and very slow broadband. These factors mean running costs and retrofit work should be expected. The sale is chain-free and freehold, which simplifies purchase but buyers should verify services and connections as some details are unknown.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking rural character and generous outdoor space who are prepared to manage energy performance and connectivity limitations. It presents immediate charm and comfort alongside realistic scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic updating to improve efficiency and modern convenience.
