3-Bedroom Semi-Detached Cottage
The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this charming semi-detached cottage situated on a quiet lane on the edge of Wimbotsham, occupying private and mature grounds of around 1.75 acres (stms) which includes a paddock, formal gardens and an orchard, as well as a range of storage and outbuildings. The cottage requires modernisation in most areas; however, this property is perfect for any purchaser looking for a home with enough land to keep animals or to keep a self-sufficient lifestyle. Please note that viewings are strictly available by appointment only.
Accommodation
The cottage is accessed through a front hall, with a door leading through to the kitchen, which in turn leads through to the dining room. The kitchen comprises a range of fitted storage units under work surfaces, with an integrated oven, hob and sink unit. An opening from the dining room leads into the characterful and well-proportioned sitting room, with a beamed ceiling and original inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove. There is also a spacious 4-piece bathroom and a rear utility/boot room, which houses the oil-fired central heating boiler.
Stairs from the sitting room lead up to the first-floor landing, where there are doors to all three bedrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double room with fitted wardrobes and a window overlooking the garden. The second bedroom extends the full width of the first floor, with a pair of dormer windows looking out to the front, whilst the third bedroom is a single room with views of the garden.
In addition to the main accommodation there are also a pair of attached brick-built outbuildings, used as a workshop and storage shed.
The garden & grounds
The property is approached over Millers Lane, which is an unmade road on the edge of the village. The driveway at the side of the property leads into the mature gardens which extend to approximately 0.3 acres. To the south of the garden is the former nursery and orchard which includes several rows of established fruit trees. To the west of the cottage there is a 0.6 acre paddock with gated access onto Millers Lane, which would be suitable for a horse or other animals. In the south-east corner of the paddock (between the paddock and orchard) there are a cluster of outbuildings requiring renovation. In all, the grounds extend to around 1.75 acres (stms).
Location
The property is situated on a quiet unmade road on the edge of the village, with easy access on to the A10; just a mile and a half from Downham Market and around 10 miles south of Kings Lynn. Wimbotsham is a well-served village with a range of character properties and amenities centred around the pretty village green. As well as a popular village pub, The Chequers, there is also a thriving primary school and a convenience store with post office. Downham Market is the nearest town, offering a wider range of shops and services, as well as a direct train route into London Kings Cross via Cambridge.
Services
The property is connected to mains water and electricity supply; oil-fired central heating and private drainage.
Agents notes
Any future intentions of development on part or all of the land designed for the creation of new dwellings is restricted by a legal covenant.
