Description

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this uniquely situated 3-bedroom semi-detached cottage, occupying a generous plot in a delightfully rural setting. The property is surrounded by open fields and parkland, with miles of countryside walks available from the doorstep and exceptional views in every direction.

The plot extends to around 0.2 acres (stms), with lawned gardens to the north and west of the house, and a private driveway at the front. The space around the property would allow for an extension to be added, without imposing on the garden (subject to the usual planning consent). There is also a garage of timber construction at the side of the property.
This private and peaceful haven in the heart of the Norfolk countryside is only a 5-minute drive away from the popular villages of Castle Acre, Great Massingham and West Acre, and less than half an hour from the beautiful sandy beaches of the North Norfolk coast.

It should be noted that the cottage requires modernisation and improvement in most areas, and is available with no onward chain.

ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed in at the front of the property to an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors into the two equally sized ground floor reception rooms, the sitting room and dining room. The kitchen is located at the rear of the ground floor, with a door out to the side entrance porch. From the kitchen there also doors to the shower room and separate cloakroom.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms arranged around the landing. Bedroom 1 is a spacious double room with far-reaching field views to the front, whilst bedrooms 2 (double) and 3 (single) overlook the rear garden and adjoining parkland.

LOCATION
Nearby Castle Acre is less than a 5-minute car journey away; renowned for its rich history, beautiful countryside surroundings and strong sense of community. Residents enjoy a range of local amenities including a village shop, public house, tea rooms and scenic walks, all set amongst the village's remarkable historic landmarks, including the ruins of the Norman Castle and Priory. Around 4 miles to the north is Great Massingham, widely considered to be one of West Norfolk's most popular villages, with a village shop, doctor's surgery, primary school and the highly regarded pub, The Dabbling Duck, which overlooks the village green and duck pond.
Nestled within the beautiful Nar Valley, West Acre offers scenic countryside walks and a welcoming community atmosphere, as well as being home to the popular West Acre Theatre, along with an art gallery, brewery and pub.
The property is approximately equidistant (13 miles) between the busy towns of Kings Lynn and Fakenham, whilst Norwich city centre (30 miles) and the north Norfolk coast (15 miles) are only a short drive away. Other nearby attractions include the Royal Sandringham Estate and Houghton Hall.

SERVICES: The property is connected to mains electricity and water supply. Private drainage. Electric room heaters. Timber framed single glazing.
