Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer Meadow Cottage, a charming 4-bedroom character property occupying beautifully maintained grounds of around 2.8 acres (stms); peacefully nestled away on a country lane in the heart of rural mid-Norfolk. The property offers a fantastic opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts, with stables, a variety of other useful outbuildings and a turn-out area on site, along with around 1.5 acres of enclosed grazing paddocks.

The property is privately situated on the outskirts of Fransham, set back from the lane at the end of a long private driveway, with mature trees and boundary hedges adding to the feeling of privacy and seclusion. The location is easily accessible to the A47, as well as being only a short drive from the nearby market towns of Swaffham, Dereham and Fakenham, with the beautiful beaches of the North Norfolk coast less than 45 minutes away.

ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall, which also serves as a pleasant seating area with southerly views to the front. The hall leads into a cosy snug, which is part of the original cottage, with beamed ceilings and a woodburning stove within a brick built fireplace. A secondary staircase from the snug rises to the master bedroom suite.
Beyond the snug is the extended kitchen/breakfast room, which provides an extensive selection of fitted storage units under granite work surfaces and incorporates a Belfast sink, range cooker and an integrated double oven. The room also provides plenty of space for a breakfast table with chairs and has a stable door leading out to the garden.
The principal reception space is the well proportioned family sitting room, which measures 20ft in length, with dual aspect views and double doors opening out to the side terrace. The sitting room leads into an inner hallway, with two large built-in storage cupboards, which leads into a useful utility/boot room. From the hall there are also doors into the study, the ground floor shower room and the highly adaptable ground floor guest bedroom, which currently serves as the owner’s hobby room.
The first floor bedroom accommodation is split around two staircases. The master bedroom is a generous double room above the snug, with an ensuite bathroom and separate dressing room. The main staircase rises from the entrance hall to the main landing, from where there are doors to two further double bedrooms and a shower room.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from the quiet lane over a long private driveway, which extends to over 350ft from the roadside to the front door. The driveway bisects the plot, with the outbuildings and equestrian facilities to the west and fenced paddocks to the east. The equestrian facilities include a large barn with stables and a tractor store, another stable block with tack room, an open-fronted cart shed and a large timber framed workshop. Around 0.8 acres of formal gardens surround the house, including a variety of specimen trees, a small orchard, numerous seating areas and a Shepherds Hut.

Being conveniently located in the centre of the county and with easy access onto the A47, the market towns of Swaffham and Dereham can be reached within a 10-15 minute car journey, whilst Norwich city centre can be reached by car in around 30 minutes.
