4 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Introduction
*Freehold cattery with four bedroom detached bungalow for sale* Brown & Co offers a spacious four bedroom, refurbished single storey dwelling in Hilgay, Norfolk with licensed cattery. The property was updated and extended by the current owners who also run a cattery from the property. The property is located in a quiet position in an historic and well-appointed village with river, and has easy access via road and rail to Downham Market, Ely and Cambridge.

Location
Hilgay is a thriving village located in Norfolk, England, offering a mix of historic buildings, picturesque waterway, and easy access to essential amenities and transport links. The village is situated just a few miles southwest of the bustling market town of Downham Market, which is home to the nearest mainline station to London, Ely & Cambridge. The village is situated on the River Wissey and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Reserve is located nearby, covering over 50 hectares of marshland and woodland and offering a range of trails and birdwatching hides.

The property
The property comprises an entrance porch, dining room, large sitting room with storage, kitchen breakfast room and wc. A hallway gives access to four bedrooms, the master bedroom having fitted storage and en-suite. There is also a family bathroom, two further bedrooms having fitted storage and there is also a wc to the second bedroom. Extensive work was carried out to the property as well as an extension which added further bedrooms. Works included: new boilers and radiators, partial rewire, replastering and new bathrooms.

Outside, the property has a gravel driveway with parking for the house. There is also a second driveway which is used for visitors to the cattery and here there is also access to the garage, which is currently used as a workshop by the owners. At the rear of the property is a large patio terrace with decorative low walls which overlooks the rear garden. The garden is laid to lawn with various mature shrubs and some trees at the rear. The cattery, which is also in the rear garden is very well screened from the house and patio.

Cattery
The owners operate a successful cattery from the property. There are a total of 29 pens, with the owners currently having a licence for up to 50 cats onsite. There is possibility to add more pens if a new owner should desire. The current owners bought the property with the business already established and have since entirely refurbished all the pens, which are individually heated and all in excellent condition. There is also a detached office for the business where the animals can check in and also a new cat 'kitchen' where the business stores food and necessary items. The entire set up is superb and inspection is recommended for those seeking to acquire such a business. The sellers are willing to transfer the entire business to the new owner, such as existing bookings and ownership of their popular Facebook and Instagram accounts. We understand a new owner will need to apply to the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk for a licence. Please contact the agent with further questions relating to the cattery.
