A rare renovation opportunity in a popular north Norfolk village, this two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers scope to create a comfortable coastal home. The property is chain free and comes with planning permission to extend into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with a relocated staircase and a new downstairs WC — a valuable head-start for buyers wanting extra space.
The cottage retains period character such as exposed beams and a beamed 23ft sitting/dining room, plus a conservatory that opens onto a private, west-facing courtyard garden with a brick-built storage outbuilding. Off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a decent plot provide practical benefits seldom found in village centre locations. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are low.
Standards are dated and most rooms need modernising: the property requires refurbishment throughout, has solid brick walls likely without insulation, oil-fired central heating, slow broadband and an EPC rating of E. Buyers should budget for upgrades to heating, insulation and finishes; the home is sold freehold and with no onward chain, which helps simplify a refurbishment programme.
This will suit buyers seeking a project close to the coast — downsizers wanting a single-level living option after alterations, first-time buyers prepared to renovate, or investors looking to add value. Practical details such as mains drainage and good mobile signal are in place, but professional surveys are recommended to confirm services and structural condition before purchase.
