- 2 Reception rooms

- 8.2 Acres of potential paddocks
- 9.23 Acres in total (stms)
Situated in a semi rural location near the centre of this popular village on the Norfolk, Cambridge border, this detached property comes to the market for the first time in over 50 years. The property is in need of modernisation but is perfectly habitable having majority double glazing and oil fired central heating. The property sits nicely on its own and has potential to extend, subject to planning approval. The land is currently set to crops which will be removed around September, ready for the new owner to set the fields to grass should they desire. In the agent’s opinion, this could make an ideal equestrian property with off road hacking off the access lane.
Accommodation
The front door opens to the hallway having stairs rising to the first floor and doors off to the two reception rooms. The sitting room to the left has a feature fireplace with provision for an open fire, as does the dining room to the right of the hallway which has a door leading to the kitchen with base units, sink and electric cooker point. To the rear of the kitchen is the bathroom and WC. To the side of the kitchen is a large conservatory or garden room with understairs pantry. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, however the access to bedroom three is via bedroom two. In the agent’s opinion, there is sufficient space to make a small landing which would allow separate access to the bedroom. There is evidence of damp in bedrooms two and three.
Externally
The property is approached over a lane from ‘Cottons Head’ which serves this and one other property beyond. A long private driveway off this lane sweeps past the front gardens to the house where there is parking and turning space for several vehicles plus access to the outbuilding. The front garden has an area of lawn and mature planted borders with a further area set aside as meadow (ideal for grazing). Attached to the house is a coal store and at the entrance to the drive are some disused buildings.
Outbuildings
To the rear of the house are a collection of five outbuildings, on concrete bases and all in need of repair with the land around these buildings requiring clearing.
Land
The land extends to the side of the property and is currently farmed by a neighbour who has crops on it, which are due to be lifted around September 2018. Should this land be sown to grass and fenced, it would make ideal paddocks. The land is around 8.2 acres, subject to a measured survey. The owner’s also rent an additional 6 acres which adjoins their land and this may be available to rent or purchase separately (more details with the owners).
