The Property
Stepping into the kitchen it is immediately apparent that the level of work gone into this property is second to none. Impressive beams and timbers flow throughout the entire cottage, the vast majority of which are original. A beautiful country kitchen lays before you, with solid oak worktops, range cooker and space for table and chairs. One of two flights of stairs leads up to the master suite, where a dressing area with storage and WC opens into a fantastic double bedroom. From the kitchen, the stunning rebuilt inglenook fireplace of the sitting room grabs the eye, creating a lovely, cosy atmosphere. A spacious family bathroom boasts its own unique character features, along with a walk-in shower and claw-footed bathtub taking centre stage. A second set of stairs takes you up to a spacious study area which in-turn, leads to the second double bedroom and third single room. Ceiling heights throughout are generous for a property of this age and character (the current owner is 6'4").
Outside
A wide shingle driveway runs beside the house, providing off-road parking up to the five-bar gate. Beyond the gate is further secure parking and a path leading up to both front doors. Moving down the south-facing garden, the plot widens nicely where a paved patio area offers an ideal spot to catch the sun. The rest of the sizable garden space is laid to lawn with mature hedges and plant beds to the boundaries. Immediately to the rear of the property is a wood store and a lean to shed which houses the boiler and hot water cylinder and provides useful storage space and at the very bottom a timber shed can be found.
Location
The property is located in the heart of Saxlingham Nethergate, a highly sought after South Norfolk village, which provides a primary school, church, social and cricket club and has an active community. In the nearby village of Hempnall there is a butchers and village shop. The attractive market town of Long Stratton is approximately 5 miles away and provides numerous shops, schools and all other essential amenities which may be needed. The beautiful Cathedral City of Norwich lies approximately 8 miles to the north and can be reached by car within approximately 20 minutes, with a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street and Norwich Airport located on the north side of the city with international flights. Diss train station is an approximate 25 minute drive to the south and is on the mainline route between Norwich and London Liverpool Street. Southwold and the unspoilt Suffolk coastline are within a driving distance of 27 miles.
