Description
SUMMARY
Overlooking Mulbarton Common and coming to the market for the first time in many years, this distinctive detached cottage has been a much-loved family home, exceptionally well cared for by its current owners. Offered with no onward chain, it provides approx. 2,195 sq/ft of accommodation, with an annexe offering scope for multigenerational living or business use (STP).
The entrance porch leads into the heart of the cottage, where 2 substantial reception rooms sit either side. In the lounge, a feature fireplace draws the eye, while glazed doors set into the bay bring the garden into view and open directly outside. Across the hall, an exposed beam and a second fireplace lend the dining room a warmth that suits everything from Sunday lunch to evenings with friends.
Soft-toned cabinetry, a butler sink and tiled splashbacks give the updated kitchen a country feel that sits naturally within the cottage. 2 separate utility rooms, one particularly large, provide an exceptional amount of storage and plenty of space to keep laundry and household essentials out of the main living areas. The conservatory offers a bright spot to sit and enjoy the garden, while a ground floor bedroom, currently used as a study, gives guests or anyone working from home a room of their own.
Upstairs, 3 bedrooms include a main bedroom with wardrobe storage and an en-suite, with a family bathroom serving the other 2. Beyond the cottage, the annexe offers scope to create a dedicated workspace for a business or separate accommodation for extended family.
OUTSIDE
The outlook over Mulbarton Common is a defining part of the setting, while the grounds offer room to spread out and enjoy the seasons. Gates open onto a substantial shingle driveway with parking for several vehicles, and a second set of vehicular gates provides added flexibility.
Extending to approx. 0.32 acres (STMS), the plot offers space to enjoy different aspects of outdoor life. A broad sweep of lawn is framed by mature trees, shrubs and established planting, with plenty of room for children to play, keen gardeners to make their mark or friends to gather. Terraces beside the cottage are well placed for meals outdoors, while a courtyard-style area between the cottage and annexe offers a more tucked-away spot to sit. It’s a garden with room for a family to grow into, in a setting that gives the cottage much of its character.
