Property description
Guide Price £300,000 - £350,000
Dairy Farm is a semi-detached brick and flint cottage situated within the very heart of the popular north-Norfolk village of Trunch.
Owned by the same family since the 1970s, the cottage provides up to four bedroom accommodation, including two reception rooms, a small kitchen, separate utility room, store room, a ground floor bathroom and a first floor WC. The cottage is in need of modernisation throughout, but has huge potential for improvement.
Within the generous fifth of an acre plot (subject to measured survey) there is also a large 42' brick barn, with an adjoining former office and a 26'2 stable. Subject to relevant planning permission, these could be adapted or converted to suit the new owner.
Heating within the main property is via electric night storage heaters, and many of the windows have been replaced with uPvc double glazed units. There are gardens which run behind the barns, and a generous driveway area which provides off road parking space for several vehicles.
The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
Location The village of Trunch is located about three miles north of the market town of North Walsham. The village itself has a church, public house and Social Club. More extensive facilities are available within North Walsham including schools and train services to Norwich. The coast is also within easy reach at Mundesley (3 miles) which also offers a nine hole golf course, school, post office and a variety of shops.
The city of Norwich is about twenty miles to the south and the region is accessible by road and rail with the A11/M11 to London and main line rail connection to London/Liverpool Street Station taking approximately 100 minutes from Norwich Station. The rapidly expanding Norwich Airport offers domestic and European flights. The North Norfolk coastline, much of which is classified as an area of outstanding natural beauty, is to the north and includes bird sanctuaries, beaches and sailing.
