Charming red‑brick end‑terrace cottage in the heart of North Elmham, offered chain free and ready for a new owner to personalise. Period features include exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a quaint street frontage that will appeal to first‑time buyers or those downsizing. The property is compact (approx. 644 sq ft) with a sitting room, separate dining room and fitted kitchen on the ground floor, and two bedrooms plus a bathroom upstairs.
There are practical points to note: the staircase is extremely steep and bedroom 2 is accessed via bedroom 1, which may limit layout flexibility. The wood burner is decorative only and cannot be used. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, so running costs and insulation improvements should be expected.
Externally the garden is a good-size plot for the area but is remote from the house, reached via a rear courtyard that includes a small pond; the neighbour has a right of way across that courtyard. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, though mobile signal is excellent. The cottage’s period character and village location offer genuine appeal, but some refurbishment and updating will be required to modernise comfort and energy efficiency.
This property suits a buyer seeking character and potential rather than a turnkey home: ideal for a first home or downsizer who wants a manageable project in a quiet village setting with easy access to local amenities and low local crime.
