A Grade II listed semi-detached cottage set in the sought-after village of Shouldham, this two-double-bedroom home delivers genuine period character and a private garden. The living room features an open fire and timber floorboards, while the kitchen/diner includes a built-in pantry and direct access to utility and outbuildings — useful for storage or conversion subject to listed restrictions.
The property sits on a decent plot with a gravel drive providing generous parking and a detached single garage. Oil-fired central heating serves the house; double glazing is present though installation date is unknown. The village location offers very low crime, excellent mobile signal and access to highly rated primary and good secondary schools, making the setting appealing for quieter village living or downsizers seeking character.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs. The stone/flint walls are uninsulated (assumed) and the cottage shows dated kitchen décor and flooring that will likely need modernisation. Broadband speeds are slow and the property uses oil central heating, factors to consider for running costs and modern living requirements.
Overall, this is a charming historic cottage with authentic features and outdoor space, best suited to someone who values character and village life and is prepared for listed-property ownership and modest updating where needed.
