Property description
Dating back to the 1750's this semi-detached cottage occupies a secluded corner plot within the highly desirable Broadland village of South Walsham. Located only a short walk from the village pond, and communal woodland, the property has been extended and modernised, whilst retaining many character features. This deceptively spacious family home boasts private lawned gardens and high specification finish. Approached via a shingle driveway, a detached double garage can be found to the rear, with accommodation comprising entrance hall, dining room with cast iron wood burner, sitting room with feature fire place, conservatory, extended oak wood kitchen/breakfast room with attractive vaulted ceiling and velux windows, and shower room to the ground floor. The first floor offers three double bedrooms including the master with en suite potential, and further family bathroom. To the outside, lawned gardens wrap around the property, with private and well landscaped borders.
Situated on the edge of the village of South Walsham, standing midway between Norwich and Great Yarmouth there is a local shop and post office in the village together with primary school, two churches and public house. The market town of Acle offers extensive shopping facilities and the house is well situated for easy reach to the City of Norwich. Nearby are the Fairhaven Woodland and Water Gardens which are open to the public and the Norfolk Broads offer extensive boating, fishing and walking facilities with South Walsham Broad situated nearby. There are rail links at both Acle and Norwich with trains to London Liverpool Street.
