A compact brick-and-flint period cottage in Thetford town centre, this two-bedroom freehold home blends original charm with a contemporary finish. Solid wood floors, an exposed brick chimney breast and the principal bedroom’s ceiling timbers give genuine character, while mock-sash double glazing and inset LED lighting provide modern comfort.
The living space flows to a grey gloss kitchen with butcher-block worktops and direct access to a small rear garden with patio and shed. The property is neutrally decorated throughout and ready to move into, with a modern three-piece bathroom featuring a rain shower over the bath. At about 605 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers, downsizers or an occasional holiday let.
Buyers should note the house is small and the walls are likely uninsulated (as-built granite/whinstone construction); further insulation works may be needed to improve comfort and running costs. There is only one bathroom and limited internal storage. The surrounding area shows higher-than-average crime levels and local neighbourhood deprivation—important factors for some purchasers.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas heating to radiators, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The central location places shops, cafés, riverside and a range of amenities within easy walking distance, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for remote working or streaming.
