House For Sale £395,000
The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this beautifully presented character cottage, situated on a quiet lane in the pretty village of Flitcham. The property provides stylish living accommodation, along with private gardens and off-road parking, as well as access to miles of countryside walks from the doorstep.
The cottage is currently used as the owner's main home; however, given the popularity of the area and the proximity to the coast and the Royal Sandringham Estate, it would also make the perfect weekend or holiday retreat. It should also be noted that planning permission has been granted for two separate schemes (please refer to the agents notes for further information).
ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into the entrance lobby at the side of the cottage, where there is space for boots, coats and shoes, and doors opening into the dining area and main bathroom. The entrance area is open to the stylishly appointed kitchen, which comprises a range of storage units under solid oak work surfaces along the two outside walls, with exposed brickwork providing an eye-catching feature. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob with extractor, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine/tumble dryer.
The dining room is one of two well-proportioned and delightfully presented reception rooms, with an oak staircase rising to the first-floor and a door into the elegant sitting room, which has an attractive feature fireplace and window to the front aspect.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, all of which can accommodate a double bed if required, with bedroom one also offering a useful range of built-in storage, as well as an original feature fireplace. Bedroom two also features a fireplace and double wardrobes, whilst the third bedroom is currently arranged as a home office and occasional bedroom. All three bedrooms are served by the ground floor family bathroom, which has been refurbished to comprise P-shaped bath with shower over, hand basin with vanity unit and a heated towel rail.
OUTSIDE
Neatly maintained gardens extend to three sides of the cottage, with a neatly maintained front lawn with a path leading to the front door behind an original red-brick garden wall. The side garden provides the perfect entertaining space, with newly installed fences adding to the feeling of privacy. There is an additional area of garden at the rear of the house, alongside the driveway which provides off-road parking for several cars.
LOCATION
Flitcham is a pretty village, situated 7 miles north east of King's Lynn along the A148. Like many of the the surrounding villages, Flitcham has strong ties to the Sandringham Estate, with much of the land and many of the properties around the village still being under the ownership of the royal estate. The village has a primary school, a social club and an active community centre, whilst the neighbouring village of Hillington has a petrol station with a convenience shop and the highly popular Ffolkes Arms hotel and pub. The village is easily accessible for the North Norfolk coast, as well as being only a short drive away from Kings Lynn and the market town of Fakenham.
SERVICES
The property is connected to mains water and electricity supply. Oil-fired central heating to radiators. Private drainage.
