House For Sale £425,000
We’re delighted to present this detached three-bedroom cottage in the centre of Coltishall, currently operating as a successful holiday let within easy walking distance of the ample amenities in this sought-after Norfolk Broads village.
Recently renovated, and with potential for further development subject to planning consent, this property represents an exceptional opportunity.
If you’re searching for the perfect holiday home in the Norfolk Broads, either as an escape to the country or as a commercial investment, Chestnut Cottage could be the property for you.
This delightful three-bedroom detached cottage occupies a prominent position in the centre of the sought-after village of Coltishall – a village with a thriving community and well-served by local amenities, and popular with visitors all year round.
When the current owners acquired the property in 2020, they immediately set about a programme of renovation to create a comfortable and well-equipped cottage with broad appeal. They reconfigured the ground floor space, opening up the living area to create a wonderful sense of flow throughout the property and improving interconnection between the living, cooking and dining areas of the cottage.
In addition to the changes to the layout, the current owners have also updated key elements of the building. The heating system has been renewed, with a new gas boiler and radiators, the property has been completely rewired, new UPVC windows have improved the thermal and acoustic insulation of the property, and the owners have also installed a full damp proof course to this historic property and improved surface water drainage.
Inside the property, the refitted kitchen and dining room is a delightful space – well equipped with contemporary fitted units, integrated appliances and plenty of storage space, and seats six diners in comfort.
The living room is bright and airy, with a newly-installed wood burner ensuring a warm welcome all year round, and it opens onto a generous rear lobby which is the perfect place to kick off muddy boots after a walk along one of the many quiet lanes and field paths which surround the village.
On the first floor, the property will comfortably sleep six in three good-sized bedrooms with two double bedrooms at the front of the property and a single bedroom to the rear. The master bedroom benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room, whilst the refitted family bathroom at the rear of the first floor completes the accommodation in the cottage.
Outside the cottage is a private rear garden, with a sheltered patio area and separate lawn to the rear, offering a neatly enclosed space for alfresco entertainment in the summer. This is a turnkey holiday cottage which is ready to welcome visitors, but the property has more to offer its new owners.
To the rear of the cottage is a small brick built barn, which is currently used as storage and is in need of refurbishment. Subject to planning consent being obtained, this would make a delightful studio or office space, or could even be converted into additional self-contained accommodation with a private garden providing a further income stream to this already attractive investment property.
Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate this delightful property, and is exclusively available through Pendefords – the individual property specialists.
Location
Coltishall is where we started our business, and this vibrant riverside village with its welcoming community feel has experienced a recent surge in demand for properties of all types and sizes. Once a centre for local brewing and boatbuilding, Coltishall boasts a wealth of amenities unusual in a Norfolk village of this size, and whilst the breweries and boatyards may be long gone, Coltishall still has three popular local pubs and plenty of scope for water-borne recreation.
This individual property is within easy walking distance of the amenities of Coltishall, and benefits from a superb location within the village, and is about a 15-minute walk from the iconic Coltishall Lower Common, a popular riverside recreational area in the summertime, which boasts moorings and two well-regarded public houses.
The wider amenities of the village include another popular pub, art gallery, two churches, hotel and spa, butchers, greengrocer, cafés, takeaways, convenience stores and fuel station – and these are all within easy reach, as is the ofsted Excellent primary school, medical centre, pharmacy, and village hall with recreation grounds.
Situated alongside the River Bure at the gateway to the Norfolk Broads National Park, and just 30 minutes from the wide skies and open beaches of the Norfolk Coast, Coltishall is seven miles from the centre of cosmopolitan Norwich, with its international airport and direct rail service to London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes.
