2 bedroom cottage for sale

Having just undergone complete refurbishment throughout, this is a property which feels and looks like it has just been built, stylish, well-balanced and a proper 'turn key' home.

On entering the house you are immediately struck by just how modern and new it all feels.

To the front is a large sitting room with its most eye catching feature being the Scandanavian and free-standing log burner set on a slate plinth. This is such a cosy and inviting room which is the perfect place for snuggling up and watching a good old-fashioned Sunday afternoon film after a wind swept walk or muddy bike ride around the Sandringham Estate bridleways.

The wide wood-look floorboards match through from the sitting room to the kitchen/dining room at the rear, wonderfully proportioned with plenty of space for a table as well as practical and abundant counter top space. This is more than enough for any budding chef and is encapsulated within a range of sleek fitted units.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, the principal being a large double room with a fitted wardrobe whilst the second would accommodate a double bed, but might be better suited as a large single or perhaps a bunk room. Both bedrooms share the upstairs shower room.

Outside and to the rear, the garden is completely enclosed so very safe for both two and four legged little ones. It is mostly paved with a patio area immediately off the kitchen/dining room but there is also a central garden bed, as well as a mature border. At the far end of the garden there is a door into the garage which is the perfect space for storing your bicycles, kayaks and garden equipment and furniture, or perhaps you may wish to park your car in it instead.

24 Windmill Hill has been a much-loved and cherished home-from-home for the current owners for the last 15 years. Before that they had lived in the village for 10 years and loved its community and proximity to the coast so much that when their work took them out of Norfolk they couldn't quite relinquish their affection for Great Bircham, so bought this home.

Since then it has been their one place of peace, tranquillity and stability as their careers took them all over the UK. However, as they have now retired, they would like new custodians to be afforded the opportunity to enjoy all that they have in this beautiful little cottage in this lovely North Norfolk village. 

GREAT BIRCHAM The village of Bircham lies on the border of the Sandringham Estate, about 7 miles from the North Norfolk coast and comprises of three parishes: Great Bircham, Bircham Tofts and Bircham Newton.

Great Bircham has a good farm shop with deli, a church, St Mary's and the Kings Head Hotel with award winning restaurant. There is also a fully restored windmill, considered to be the only working windmill in this part of the county, where visitors can climb five floors up to the fan stage and admire the view. The mill also has a bakery, tea room, gift shop, small children's farm and cycle hire centre.

Bircham Newton has a small, private trout fishing lake and the Church of All Saints, one of the smallest in the county, with no porch, few windows and Victorian box pews. Nelson's daughter Horatia married Philip Ward, who was the rector and brought up a large family at Church Farm.

Bircham Tofts is recorded in the Domesday book as Stoftstan, referring to its stony soil and merged with Bircham Newton in 1719.

The closest train station is at King's Lynn providing direct rail links to Cambridge and London King's Cross.
