Pretty as A picture, this delightful character cottage, with a self-contained annexe, is located on the fringe of the picturesque catfield common and the ranging Hickling Broad. Situated just north of the riverside village of potter heigham - sometimes referred to as the gateway to the wildest and quietest part of the norfolk broads and only twenty miles to the north east of the historic city of norwich.
Catfield Common sits between the river ant and hickling broad and benefits from the navigational access along the River Ant to the wider Norfolk Broads waters. Life off the water also has an abundance of recreational attractions with two national nature reserves, the long-distance weaver way walk and the sandy shores of the nearby coastline.
Handsomely set back from the passing road and largely screened by natural high hedging, Bluebell Cottage is approached over a broad shingle expanse that provides ample off-road parking for both the cottage and the annexe. Bordering the driveway to one side, a well-tended lawn garden stretches across the front of the cottage and leads to a side pathway that grants access to the rear gardens. Retaining its beauty and enjoying its outlook, generous covered and open sun terraces extends away from the property to a lawn garden with a largely hedged backdrop.
This period family cottage enters into a practical porch which opens into a bright and spacious reception room with a separate door leading into a family sitting room with a warming fire place. A further door from the reception room leads into a hallway and the family bathroom and onto the bright kitchen, dining room and conservatory with access to the rear garden. To the first floor, separate doors off the landing lead to two bedrooms, the master with an en-suite bathroom. A further third bedroom is accessed from a separate staircase located in the kitchen.
With dual access the annexe independently enters into a delightful open space with a kitchen diner, a lounge with double doors opening to the rear terrace and a shower room. To the first floor a spacious bedroom with a balcony providing views over the distant fields completes the accommodation.
Life at Bluebell Cottage is further complemented in its setting; a short distance to either of the waterside villages of potter heigham or catfield and beyond to the popular market town of stalham with its schooling and amenities.
