This red-brick semi-detached cottage sits in peaceful South Walsham and offers versatile accommodation across two floors, well suited to a family seeking village life close to the Broads. The ground floor includes a fitted country-style kitchen, a cosy sitting room with an impressive fireplace and wood-burning stove, a study that can serve as a third bedroom, one bathroom and a separate utility room. A gravelled driveway provides off-street parking and the grounds include an established rear garden, terrace and an additional side lawn with rural views.
Upstairs, a vaulted open-plan sitting room delivers strong character and excellent entertaining space; it also offers clear potential to be reconfigured into two bedrooms and a bathroom if more sleeping accommodation is required. The plot is large for the area and the home’s period features — exposed beams, timber windows and a prominent chimney — give it cottage charm while remaining practical for everyday living.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: the property has an F energy rating, oil-fired heating and assumed solid brick walls with no built-in insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements will be needed and running costs may be higher. Drainage is private (not mains), broadband speeds are very slow, and there is a single bathroom which could limit larger households without reconfiguration.
Overall, this property suits purchasers who value character and countryside living and are willing to invest in insulation and energy upgrades. The vaulted first-floor room and flexible ground-floor layout present clear renovation potential to tailor the property for growing families or more profitable holiday-let use.
