The Lifestyle
------------------
If you are looking for a forever home that you won’t outgrow, look no further than this tardis in Honningham village. Whether you are a growing family or downsizers, who need guest rooms for family & friends to stay, we don’t think you will be disappointed; viewing is essential to appreciate how much space this cottage has to offer!

Don’t be fooled by the end terraced exterior, inside you will find high ceilings and natural sunlight in spades. Not to mention the exposed oak beams and an inglenook fireplace to the stunning sitting room, one of four separate entertaining areas. On top of this, the garden is totally private and screened from neighbour’s eyes.

The existing vendors are downsizing which has created a unique opportunity for a new owner to enjoy the benefits of such a refined and cherished character home. Cottages here do not come up often. For the right offer, the owners will consider vacating and selling chain-free.

The Home
---------------
This cottage dates back over 250 years and was extended the 1930s to more than double its original size, creating a ‘tardis’ like home with lots of large rooms for the whole family to enjoy whilst maintaining an traditional and functional layout. A solid home, it’s easy to forget you’re attached once you step inside the front door.

A central hallway leads to all main reception rooms; a formal dining room links to a cottage style kitchen and then into an exceptional 18’ x 12’ garden room. Picture entertaining family & friends in this beautifully light space with French doors out onto the elevated patio area, with views over the landscaped rear garden.

The 17’ x 9’10’’ sitting room is a cosy space to retire too in the evening; warm up in front of the inglenook fireplace this winter. For a charming cottage full of character, you will be impressed with the high levels of natural sunlight all year round. Well-presented throughout, you can move straight in and just unpack.

Upstairs a galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, all serviced by a 4pc family bathroom suite. A hidden staircase leads to the loft room which the current owners have used as a double bedroom, office and a store room in the years they have been there.

Outside
-----------
A fully enclosed front garden with well stocked flower, shrub and hedge boarders. A gravel driveway has off-road parking for 4-5 cars or for anyone with a caravan/motorhome, you will find enough space to park here. There is also an EV charging point and a double garage/workshop.

The landscaped rear garden is laid to lawn on one side, with a mature hedge down the centre creating a nature path through flower boarders and past a vegetable patch on the other. There is an Old Oak tree at the bottom of the garden, providing plenty of shade in the warmer months and a patio area to the top with very well stocked raised flower beds.
