The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this attractive character cottage in the idyllic rural setting of Weasenham All Saints, with miles of countryside walks from the doorstep and being only a short drive from the highly popular and well-served village of Great Massingham. The cottage provides generous ground floor living accommodation, with two first floor double bedrooms, a private walled garden, a brick-built garage and off-road parking for three further vehicles.

The cottage has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment and modernisation by the current owners in recent years, transforming the cottage into a warm and stylish home, where modern luxuries complement the original character features. The most notable improvement is the addition of a superb rear extension, which has more than doubled the size of the original kitchen, creating a spacious open-plan family area with doors opening directly out to the garden. Other features include a new kitchen and bathroom, the addition of an LPG-fired central heating system and UPVC double glazing, which has been installed throughout.

The cottage has served as a much-loved main home for the current owners, although given the peaceful and rural setting, and the convenient proximity to both the coast and other local attractions, it would also make the ideal weekend or holiday bolthole.

It is also of note that the planning application granted for the rear extension also included consent to extend above the sitting room to create another bedroom with an en-suite and a separate family bathroom. For more information, please visit the Breckland Council planning website, using the reference number: 3PL/2019/0545/HOU.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the entrance porch, where there is space for coats and shoes, and a door leading into the cosy snug. The snug is a versatile room, which has also been used as the dining room in the past, with Pamment tile flooring, an original open fireplace and double doors into the elegantly presented and well-proportioned sitting room. A central lobby has stairs rising to the first floor and a door leading into the extended kitchen/dining room. The kitchen comprises a range of navy blue fronted units under fitted work surfaces which extend into a peninsular, with a free-standing range cooker, an integrated fridge and freezer, and plumbing/space for a washing machine and a dishwasher. There is also a useful pantry built under the stairs. The kitchen is open-plan to the recently added dining area, with vaulted ceilings, views of the garden and double doors opening out to the entertaining area at the side of the cottage. To the side of the kitchen, a door leads into the rear boot room, which is ideal for families with pets, with a door opening out to the rear garden. The refurbished bathroom includes a bath with a tiled surround and shower over, hand basin with a vanity unit and WC.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms arranged either side of the landing. The master bedroom is a spacious double room with an original feature fireplace and a large cupboard, which also houses the central heating boiler. Bedroom 2 is also a double room, with exposed timber floorboards and a view over the rear garden.

OUTSIDE

The property is set back behind a row of wrought iron railings, with a gated path leading to the front door. The rear garden is a generous size, with an original brick wall extending along the eastern boundary. The garden includes a paved barbecue area with a fitted bench seat, a shingle seating area, a lawn and timber shed. At the bottom of the garden there is a detached brick-built garage, alongside which there is off-road parking space for a further three vehicles.

LOCATION

The cottage is situated in the quiet and rural village of Weasenham, where there is a pretty village green and pond, and an active community which is focussed around the village hall and primary school, which feeds into the highly regarded Litcham High School. The cottage is easily accessible for the A1065, which leads directly to the nearby market towns of Fakenham to the north and Swaffham to the south. The neighbouring villages of Great Massingham, Castle Acre and Litcham all offer a wide variety of shops, pubs and other attractions; whilst the beaches of the famous North Norfolk coast can be reached in under half an hour.
