A former Norfolk butcher shop makes a triumphant return to auction, having undergone an impressive refurbishment that has breathed new life into the space.

The property, situated in a prime location on The Street in Old Costessey, was once home to the nationally renowned Pickering Butchers.

With over fifty years of history as a family business and a coveted title of UK's best butcher, Pickering Butchers was considered a pillar of the Costessey community. Despite its significance, the business relocated, leaving behind a vacant premises until it was sold under the hammer by auction.

Enjoying a prominent position in Old Costessey, the current owners saw the potential of the building and sort permission for change of use to residential. Following consent being granted, the property underwent a full programme of renovation which included raising the floor in the main shop, a full rewire of the electric and heating systems, and the addition of a large side extension to house a new kitchen/diner and additional bedroom.

The result is a stylishly decorated, single-storey home ready for immediate occupation. Internally the property comprises of an open-plan kitchen complete with island and eat-in dining area, a spacious lounge which has retained its original vaulted beamed ceiling, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern four-piece family bathroom.

Externally, the versatile property benefits from a large shingle driveway, providing ample space for parking multiple vehicles off the road. Additionally, a secluded private courtyard is the perfect place for entertaining during the warmer months.
