Spacious period home on a large private plot near local amenities and Walton Backwaters.
Grade II listed 17th‑century cottage with period features
A rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed 17th‑century cottage in the heart of Kirby‑le‑Soken. The house sits on a generous quarter‑acre plot with mature trees, off‑road parking for several cars and a large garage — ideal for someone wanting private outdoor space and secure storage.
Internally the property retains strong period character: a large lounge with an impressive brick inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, sash windows, Tudor wooden floors and a Victorian roll‑top bath in a generous bathroom. The versatile layout includes a dining room that can double as a ground‑floor bedroom, useful for flexible living or guests.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, a fitted kitchen and all services connected (as stated by the vendor). Council Tax Band C and a Freehold tenure make the running costs comparatively predictable for the area.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing will limit alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. The house’s age and original fabric mean ongoing maintenance and sensitive conservation work are likely; prospective purchasers should arrange a thorough inspection and check listed‑building consent requirements before committing. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the space and condition.
