Introducing Lanes End, a wonderful example of a three bedroom thatched cottage nestled in the sought-after village of Thompson. With its quintessential charm and character, this property promises a cosy and welcoming home to its next owners.
Boasting traditional thatched roofing, and an abundance of charming period features, Lanes End is a delightful property which offers the perfect blend of country living and warm and cosy modern convenience, with a good degree of versatility.
The cottage has been lovingly updated and renovated in recent years to ensure that it offers comfortable and stylish living spaces throughout.
The ground floor of the property comprises of a welcoming entrance porch with a convenient utility/boot area to one side, a cosy living room complete with a stove inset into a stunning exposed brick fireplace, and a bright and airy classic country kitchen - befitting the style of the property.
There is also a well-sized dining room, perfect for hosting family meals and entertaining guests in front of a must-have open fire. The lovely garden room looks out towards the property's handsome facade, offering the perfect place to unwind - whether inside or outside of its patio doors, it feels incredibly inviting. Additionally, completing the ground floor, there is a bedroom and bathroom.
Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms, each accessed by their own private staircases. Overflowing with character, each has their own unique view of the surrounding countryside. and there is also en-suite facilities to the principal bedroom.
Moving to the extension, The Lodge, it is a convenient self-contained bungalow. The Lodge features its own private access, via it's own driveway and a lobby - with stairs leading from Lanes End.
Offering a spacious studio living space, it is perfectly set up with its own kitchen, conservatory, bedroom and shower room. It would make an ideal guest accommodation, a self-contained annexe/holiday let, or perfect for multi-generational living. The adjoining garage and carport are also highly useful additions to The Lodge.
Lanes End and The Lodge share a wonderfully landscaped garden that is both scenic and private, providing the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining. The property also benefits from two driveway entrances, one for each property.
THOMPSON A picturesque village with a fair selection of amenities, Thompson now benefits from optic fibre internet connectivity. There is a well-regarded primary school in addition to the village church, public house and restaurant – The Chequers Inn - a post office, Community Hall and a Millennium Green. Throughout the year, the Community Hall organises various events and is available for private hire. The church also holds fundraising events, including the ever-popular Lavender's Lunch. For those avid runners, Thompson hosts an annual 5km and 10km run
There are country walks nearby including Peddars Way and there is easy access to the A11/M11 where there are good links by rail and road to Cambridge and London and approximately 23 miles from Norwich.
Just three miles away is the market town of Watton, well-served by primary, junior and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery and chemist, along with a supermarket, Post Office and sports centre.
Watton is a strong rural community which comes together each year for the annual Wayland Show, one of England's oldest agricultural shows.
Just outside the town you'll find Loch Neaton and Wayland Wood, the site of the children's tale, Babes in the Wood, which are both lovely places to visit and the beauty of the area makes it an unmissable place to explore.
Nearby, enjoy the cycle trails at Thetford Forest, take a trip to Melsopp Farm Park, head over to Snetterton race circuit, or book a game at Richmond Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with driving range set in 100 acres of parkland.
Well-exercised, there are several good pubs serving real ales and good grub to recharge your energy – try The Willow House, The Waggon & Horses in nearby Griston or The Old Bell at Saham Toney, north of Watton.
