Set behind Upton Fen in quiet South Walsham, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends period charm with a large, private garden. The house retains character features, a welcoming sitting room with wood burner and an extended kitchen/dining area that opens toward the garden and summer house — ideal for family life or countryside retreat. The detached garage and driveway provide practical parking and storage in this otherwise secluded hamlet setting.
Built circa 1904 in solid brick, the property is traditional in fabric and layout: porch, sitting room, kitchen/dining, utility, cloakroom and three bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. It benefits from oil-fired central heating, double glazing (installed pre-2002) and mains water, but drainage is by private septic tank. The plot is a standout asset, backing onto fenland and offering space, mature planting and good privacy.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the oil boiler/fuel storage will need ongoing fuel sourcing and servicing. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — relevant if you work from home. The property has one bathroom for three bedrooms and some updating may be needed to modernise services and improve efficiency.
This home will suit a family or countryside buyer seeking character and outside space, or someone looking for a sympathetic renovation project with excellent garden and fen-side location. Its low flood risk, very low local crime and proximity to local schools and the Broads make it a sensible purchase for village living with Norwich within easy reach.
