Dating back to 1881, this semi detached flint cottage sits confidently within the heart of Martham, offering a home that feels rooted in the village’s heritage while remaining entirely suited to modern living. Its layout unfolds over three floors and provides more than enough space for families seeking a property that can evolve with changing needs, supported by recent upgrades including a brand new boiler and oil tank.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading into a cosy living room where a wood burner creates an immediate focal point. It is a comfortable, everyday space that lends itself naturally to quiet evenings or relaxed gatherings. Beyond this, the formal dining room brings a more social dimension, with French doors opening directly onto the patio and a seamless connection through to the kitchen. Together, these rooms form a practical arrangement that supports both family life and entertaining.

The kitchen combines modern cabinetry with a freestanding oven and fridge/freezer, alongside under counter space for additional appliances. A useful utility room with WC sits adjacent, adding convenience without interrupting the flow of the main living areas.

The first floor hosts two well proportioned bedrooms and a family shower room, while the top floor is dedicated to a generous principal bedroom with eaves storage. This upper level feels quietly removed from the rest of the house, offering a private retreat with a characterful outlook.

Outside, the garden is a notable feature: extensive, private and designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A patio provides an easy spot for outdoor seating, leading onto a sweeping lawn bordered by mature planting. Three timber sheds are ideal for storage or workshop use.

Altogether, this is a charming village home that combines period appeal with everyday practicality. Its adaptable layout, thoughtful upgrades and sizeable garden make it an appealing choice for buyers looking for a property with both personality and long term potential.
