2 bedroom cottage for sale

Location The village of Baconsthorpe is set in the heart of the Norfolk Norfolk Countryside, just 4 miles South East of Holt and 5 Miles from the nearest beach and railway station at Sheringham. It boasts the ruins of a 15th century fortified manor house with moat, known as Baconsthorpe Castle which is an English Heritage site, and lovely for picnics.
There are primary schools at Holt and Sheringham and the nearby villages of Greshams and Aldborough. Baconsthorpe is in the catchment area for Sheringham High School and sixth form. Both towns play host to a wide range of excellent shopping and leisure facilities. The Bittern line train operates between Sheringham and Norwich. It is just a 15 minute drive from Cley and Salthouse. 

Description This charming, mid-terraced, period cottage is situated in the centre of the village, in the heart of North Norfolk's beautiful countryside; there is an extensive Public Footpath network in the area and lots of walks from the front door. The accommodation comprises a dual aspect sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, utility room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. It is wider on the first floor as it benefits from a flying freehold over the neighbouring property. Immediately to the rear of the cottage is a small, manageable garden with a shed and beyond the gate is a parking area for two cars. If desired, it would be possible to sacrifice a parking space to increase the size of the garden. The roof was re-felted and battened in November 2022 and houses a solar panel which is used to heat the water. There is an air source heat pump powering the heating making this a more cost-efficient home.

This property would be equally ideal as a first home, for those wishing to downsize or as a holiday home; it has previously been run as a successful holiday let. It has a charming ambience and an internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.
