" Sowerbys are delighted to offer a pretty, detached cottage in the conservation village of Northwold, Norfolk; a location desired for a relaxed village atmosphere alongside easy access to Thetford Forest, local town amenities and other towns such as Bury St Edmunds being only 25 miles away. Also the village has the significant benefit of being just 13 miles from a mainline train station to Ely, Cambridge and London at Downham Market.

The cottage itself is set on a corner plot in the heart of the village on Church Lane. There is a garden to the front offering a great deal of privacy set with lawn and BBQ patio alongside parking and access to a garage facility. Inside, the house has been largely updated by the current owner into a fine example of a period Norfolk cottage. The property comprises a reception area with original restored staircase to the first floor and doors to the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room benefits from an entirely new floor including the joists now set with attractive oak floorboards and open fireplace. The kitchen is new and has shaker style units with solid oak worktop, butler sink, plumbing for washing machine and space for a range cooker. In addition, there is a fitted shelved dresser style storage and pantry with fridge. From here one can access the front through another entrance, the garage and take a staircase down to a cellar.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, the master bedroom and second bedroom having painted exposed original flooring. The garage is used mostly as a store and may be restrictive for some vehicles, it would suit conversion to another reception room

(subject to any consents) and has access to the rear where there is a passage and oil tank.

The property is offered with no upward chain, oil fired central heating and mains drainage. 

NORTHWOLD Northwold is roughly equidistant between the market towns of Thetford, Swaffham and Downham Market.
