Set on a generous, mature plot in the peaceful village of Stow Bridge, Norfolk Cottage is a three-bedroom detached family home with clear scope to modernise and personalise. The layout includes a large lounge, separate dining room, kitchen/diner, utility and ground-floor WC, plus a garage and driveway for two cars. Mature hedging and trees give the rear garden a private feel ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. Presented with no onward chain, the house would suit a buyer ready to undertake renovation to add contemporary comfort and value.
The property is solidly built (mid-20th century cavity walls) and benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002) and oil-fired central heating via boiler and radiators. Practical features such as the generous rooms, sizeable plot and separate utility provide a good base for reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning). Local life is village-centred — a pub, farm shop and riverside walks are all within easy reach, with Downham Market and its station close by for wider links.
Buyers should be aware this house requires updating throughout. Insulation is likely absent in the cavity walls and the glazing and heating are dated; an EPC rating of F has been noted, and upgrading to modern standards will be needed to improve comfort and running costs. There is a single family bathroom and the layout reflects its era, so some modern buyers will want to rework spaces or add an en-suite.
This is a practical opportunity for a family or a buyer seeking a country home with a large garden and renovation potential. With good broadband, low local crime and nearby schools rated Good, the setting is attractive — but allow budget for energy upgrades, refurbishment and any planned alterations.
