Nightingale Cottage, Mill Road, Stalham, Norfolk

Nightingale Cottage is a detached property dating back to the eighteenth century, that has retained many of its original features including fireplaces, brick work and beams. It is set on a generous plot measuring approximately quarter of an acre, and is located on the edge of the popular north Norfolk market town of Stalham. It enjoys a private, tranquil setting opposite the Broads Edge Marina, home to a number of private moorings, and the ideal starting point from which to embark on a boating adventure through some of the most picturesque Norfolk Broads scenery, along the banks of the wending River Ant, which flows downstream from the town and on through reed lined waterways.

Set back and screened from the road, the cottage is approached at the side where a shingle driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to a double cart lodge. A gated entrance to the front leads to a pretty garden planted with established shrubs and trees. To the rear there is a generous and neatly maintained enclosed lawn garden with distant field views and bordered by mature hedging, a timber storage shed, greenhouse and a summerhouse with paved terrace ideal as a home office, games room or for cocktails with friends and family.

Arranged over two floors, Nightingale Cottage provides spacious and versatile accommodation. To the ground floor there are two receptions as well as a bedroom with en-suite, a lobby with a cloakroom and a kitchen with a separate breakfast room and utility. To the first floor, a family bathroom and three additional bedrooms, the main with a dressing room and an en-suite, complete the accommodation.

The property further benefits from easy access to the nearby local amenities that include a Tesco Superstore and petrol station, The Swan Inn public House, Broadland fish and chips, Stalham high school, doctors’ surgery and Boots pharmacy. The stunning sandy shoreline at Sea Palling is just four miles to the north east and for keen walkers and cyclists, the Weaver‘s Way is a well-established long-distance path, which connects the town to Cromer and Great Yarmouth, passing through Stalham on its way.
