Former Toll House set in around 1.27 acres in idyllic rural location with River Wensum frontage

A rare opportunity to acquire an old two bedroom single storey detached former toll house in need of complete renovation set in around 1.27 acres. Also known as Bridge Cottage the property which is not listed, is located down a long third of a mile drive going under Marriotts Way before reaching a tranquil spot with around 300 ft of River Wensum frontage to the north and east boundary. The drive is being retained with a right of way over it.

A single storey extension was built to the stage of first fix.

It has been in the same family for around 30 years and is located around five miles west of the city centre.



History The cottage was built around 1817, and was thatched in the late 1800's. It was the old Toll house for the bridge that used to cross the River Wensum in the days when there was no public crossing at Costessey Mill. The bridge was broken by a traction engine carrying paper from the mill at Taverham in the late 19th century. It was further damaged in 1924 by a fire engine crossing responding to a fire at Costessey Mill. By 1927 the old toll bridge had collapsed
and was demolished in the 1950's. The cottage was last lived in the early 1980's.
