A charming single-storey cottage with a wealth of original features and expansive gardens has just become available, presenting an exceptional opportunity for property investors or someone searching for their dream countryside retreat. Tucked away in a picturesque setting in North Norfolk, the property which is approached via a long private driveway, is surrounded by an incredible garden – the result of decades of professional landscaping.
Meadow Farm cottage is adorned with original features that exude character and warmth. Brick fireplaces, wooden beams, and solid wood doors enhance the property's historic charm, while hardwood floors run throughout the home, adding to its timeless appeal.
The cottage offers ample living space, including an entrance porch, inner hall, cloakroom, sitting room, conservatory, kitchen, three bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room, and a bathroom. The generously sized kitchen leads out to the breathtaking gardens, providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Pending the appropriate planning consents, this modest property could be redeveloped into a magnificent family home.
Step outside and be captivated by the meticulously landscaped gardens, approximately 2.3 acres, and nothing short of a horticultural masterpiece. The garden features an array of mature shrubs, specialist roses and ornamental trees, creating a vibrant tapestry of colours in bloom. Polytunnels and abundant flower beds provide ample space for avid gardeners to indulge their passion for growing.
As Bryan Baxter, Director and Auctioneer, explains, "The enchanting grounds of this property are something that words and pictures can only begin to capture. I urge you to come and explore the grounds to truly appreciate this property's investment potential and beauty."
Adjoining the gardens there is an additional 1.3 acre paddock with a large outbuilding/studio, which is available to purchase independently from the main property.
Situated in the quaint parish village of Suffield, the location is the definition of quiet village living. Approximately 13 miles north of Norwich, the area would work well for commuters. Residents can also enjoy the market towns of Aylsham and North Walsham for amenities and transport links, just five miles away.
This property presents a compelling investment opportunity with a guide price of £450,000 - £500,000. While it does require some modernisation and refurbishment, the cottage's unique features, combined with the extensive grounds and potential for customisation, make it a desirable prospect for investors.
