Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer Lilac Cottage, a charming three-bedroom brick and flint home, situated in the pretty village of Whissonsett; a peaceful and rural haven in the heart of mid-Norfolk, just a 30-minute drive from the coast and with miles of walks through the surrounding countryside from the doorstep. Beautifully presented throughout, this delightful character property effortlessly combines period charm with stylish modern enhancements. The ground floor accommodation includes a wonderful dual-aspect living room, complete with an attractive feature fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space in which to relax. The stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room has been thoughtfully designed to provide the ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Externally, Lilac Cottage enjoys ample off-road parking to the front, while the generous south-facing rear garden has been attractively landscaped to create a wonderful outdoor sanctuary. Perfectly suited to entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the garden also features a shed, greenhouse and productive vegetable patch. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a truly delightful home in a popular rural setting, offering character, comfort and countryside living at its finest.

ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into the property via a small entrance porch, providing a practical space for shoes before entering the main living accommodation. The heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen/dining room, offering an excellent setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of cabinetry, complemented by a range-style cooker and a selection of integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A rear lobby provides access to the garden and also benefits from a sliding door concealing a useful pantry cupboard. Adjacent to the kitchen/dining room is the beautiful living room, enjoying a double aspect that fills the space with natural light. This elegant room is centred around a striking exposed brick fireplace with Clearview log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point, along with a glazed door opening directly onto the outdoor patio area.

Upstairs, a central landing provides access to all rooms, along with a useful storage cupboard. Bedroom one is a well-proportioned double enjoying views over the garden. Bedroom two is another good-sized double, benefitting from a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom three is a more compact double, currently arranged as a home office, offering an ideal space for remote working. The accommodation is served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom comprising a bath with overhead shower, pedestal wash basin and WC.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via 5-bar timber gates opening onto a generous gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, together with an electric car charging point positioned to the front of the property. To the rear of the home lies a beautifully landscaped garden, enjoying a desirable south-facing aspect. A spacious patio and decked seating area extends from the property, creating an ideal space for outdoor entertaining or relaxed enjoyment of the surroundings. Beyond this is a neatly maintained lawn, complemented by an attractive flowerbed running along one side, adding colour and interest throughout the seasons. At the far end of the garden is a further shingled seating area, along with a large shed benefitting from power and an outside tap. The garden is further enhanced by a wonderful vegetable patch, log store and a Rhino greenhouse, making this a truly well-equipped and versatile outdoor space.
