Description
Clematis Cottage is a semi detached former railway worker's cottage built in the early 1900s in the popular and conveniently located north Norfolk village of Thursford. Since the demise of the railways, the property has been a private home and was purchased by the current owners 22 years ago as a holiday home but has been their much loved permanent home when they moved to Norfolk full time some 15 years ago
During their period of ownership, a programme of improvements and extension have been undertaken to now provide well proportioned accommodation comprising an entrance hall, recently fitted kitchen with a wide archway to a dining area, rear porch, large sitting room with a spacious landing/study space, 2 double bedrooms and a luxury shower room upstairs. The property is superbly presented and has the benefit of pine latch doors, UPVC double glazed windows and doors and wood burning stoves in the sitting room and dining room.
