Delightful edge of village home of charming brick and flint.

Description

Appleby Cottage is a charming and unspoilt Grade II listed rural house, of attractive brick and flint under pantile roof, and enjoying a peaceful position set amongst North Norfolk countryside on the edge of the village.

Set back from a small country lane, with parking, the cottage is a lovely example of the traditional Norfolk brick and flint architecture that the north of the county is famous for. The house is currently configured for two families, with two kitchens, a lovely open plan dining/sitting room with wood burner, a further dining room with inglenook fireplace and a large sitting room with wood burner.

There are two staircases up to bedroom accommodation, currently configured as five bedrooms although one bedroom is accessed from another and may be best suited as a large bathroom or dressing room to compliment the principal bedroom. The bedrooms enjoy fine views of the gardens and surrounding countryside.

The house enjoys period detail throughout, and is in good decorative order in places, but It would be fair to say the house would benefit from updating in parts. The house has potential for a possible loft conversation.

Outside
Appleby Cottage is approached from the north, with two entrances to a parking area adjoining the house. To the west is a useful outbuildings and sheds.

The gardens are delightful, of just under half an acre, mainly to the west, south and east of the house. There are grass paths meandering through well stocked herbaceous flower beds, leading through an orchard and sweeping round to an expanse of lawn, with flower beds and green house. The gardens are well arranged and provide a good foundation for further landscaping.
