2 bedroom cottage

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present this attractive character cottage, overlooking the famous duck pond in the centre of Great Massingham. The cottage is ideally located for the local amenities, just a minutes' walk from the village shop and the popular pub, The Dabbling Duck. The property has been used as the current owner's main home, but it would also make the ideal weekend or holiday home, given the popularity of the village and its proximity to the coast and other local attractions.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the recently added dining room, with pleasant views of the rear garden, open plan to the kitchen with access to a useful utility room. The kitchen is fitted with modern base and wall units, incorporating 1.5 sink with drainer, integrated dishwasher, space for a range cooker, and fridge freezer. Off the kitchen, is a hallway with stairs leading to the first floor, and access to all remaining rooms on the ground floor. To the right, is a well-proportioned sitting room, boasting an open fire, whilst to the left is a twin aspect study. Completing the accommodation on the ground floor is a bathroom, comprising shower over bath, hand basin and WC. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms arranged around a landing area. The main bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, with the second bedrooms housing an original fireplace. The en suite comprises shower cubicle with base units incorporating WC and hand basin.

OUTSIDE

Outside, to the rear of the property parking is approached over a shared driveway, with a spacious off road parking area to the left, leading to a garage. The garage has been recently built, and measures 6.22m x 3.52m, with double door to the front, window to the rear and side inspection door. A picket fence opens to a generously sized garden, which is laid to lawn with a pathway to the property. There is a further brick built outbuilding, measuring 2.45m x 1.87m, currently used as a home office.

PLANNING PERMISSION

Planning permission has been approved to extend the property, whilst also amending the current layout. The current owners have begun this procedure by demolishing a conservatory and replacing it with a single storey dining room and utility to the rear. The remaining permission involves demolishing the study and replacing it with a double storey extension. The proposed layout on the ground floor briefly comprises an entrance hall with cloakroom, snug, sitting room kitchen diner and utility room. The first floor would then comprise of 4 bedrooms, master with ensuite and family bathroom. This would create a superb spacious family home, whilst also offering the potential to be a very successful holiday let.
