Berties Cottage is a charming mid terrace period home set in a delightful rural location within the peaceful and conveniently situated hamlet of Pockthorpe.  Enjoying fine views over open countryside to the rear, the property offers spacious accommodation with plenty of character and potential.  The cottage would benefit from a programme of light refurbishment, but already provides generous living space comprising a kitchen/breakfast room with a large pantry, a separate dining room and a cosy sitting room featuring a fireplace with a wood burning stove.

Upstairs, the landing leads to 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.  Additional features include UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout, night storage heating and exposed floorboards in the bedrooms.  Outside, there is driveway parking at the front for several vehicles, while to the rear, a west facing lawned garden backs onto open countryside - perfect for enjoying peaceful rural views and evening sunsets.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, Berties Cottage is a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in a picturesque and tranquil setting that perfectly combines rural serenity with convenient access to the many amenities and attractions that north Norfolk has to offer.
