Set on a quiet lane in Northwold, this semi-detached former pair of cottages offers genuine space and period character for a growing family. The house retains exposed beams, original features and generous room proportions across two reception rooms and five bedrooms — including a principal bedroom with a dressing area. A large rear garden with greenhouses, shed (with power) and garage gives practical outdoor space and strong scope for landscaping or extension (subject to consents).
The property requires modernisation throughout. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the solid granite/whinstone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy performance and running costs are likely higher than modern homes. There is only one family bathroom downstairs and the current fittings and services have not been tested, so buyers should expect further investment and to commission a full survey.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, a peaceful village community and reasonable commuting links: Brandon and Downham Market are a short drive away with shops and mainline rail to larger centres. Offered freehold with moderate council tax, this is a character-filled family home with substantial potential for renovation, extension or a sensitive refurbishment to create a comfortable long-term home.
