Description

This charming Grade II listed four-bedroom detached cottage, nestled on the outskirts of the peaceful village of South Pickenham, offers a wonderful blend of character, space, and tranquillity. Retaining much of its original charm, the property provides flexible living accommodation with multiple reception rooms and a ground floor shower room. Available unfurnished for a long-term tenancy.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hallway leading to the main living areas. The shaker-style kitchen offers ample cupboard and worktop space, with room for an electric cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. The open-plan kitchen/diner comfortably accommodates a dining table, making it ideal for both everyday use and entertaining.

The cosy sitting room, centred around a wood-burning stove, offers a relaxing retreat. A second reception room, also featuring a wood burner, provides flexible use as an additional lounge or formal dining area. A dedicated home office is perfect for remote working. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with walk-in shower, washbasin, and WC.

Stairs from the living room lead to the first floor, where you'll find four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master, second, and third bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, adaptable to various furniture layouts. The fourth bedroom lends itself well as a dressing room or additional office. The family bathroom includes a bath, washbasin, and WC.

Externally, the property features a gated shingle and block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking. The front and rear gardens are bordered by mature trees and shrubs, with generous lawned areas ideal for outdoor living. A timber storage shed and greenhouse are also included—perfect for gardening enthusiasts.

Further benefits include oil-fired underfloor heating to the ground floor, radiator heating upstairs, and a private water supply and septic tank—with water included in the rent.
