3 Bedroom Cottage

A charming and characterful detached unlisted cottage that perfectly fuses country and village living set in delightful established gardens. PROPERTY The property is a charming detached unlisted 'chocolate box' thatched cottage that perfect fuses country and village living. It has an abundance of character and a wealth of exposed timbers. Located along a 'no through' road in the heart of the village, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to the front of the property and the superb attached cart lodge and workshop which the vendors have added. The property has been updated further during the vendors' ownership having re-thatched the rear in 2025, plus installing solar panels and a battery back up. The front door opens to an entrance lobby and in turn a double aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove and stairs to the first floor. Off the sitting room is a bathroom with a door to a third bedroom that the vendors currently use as a study making the space very versatile. At the heart of the property is a dining room with inglenook fireplace (not working). The room opens at one end to the comprehensively fitted kitchen with a wide range of wall and base units. Off the kitchen is a spacious utility room. Across the back of the property is a superb garden room which opens to the garden and creates an excellent flow to the property. On the first floor are two double bedrooms with the principal bedroom having an ensuite shower room. The gardens are a real delight of the property and form a superb setting for the house. There are well-stocked meandering borders, areas of lawn and an array of mature shrubs and trees. To the rear of the property is a paved area for alfresco dining with views over the adjoining fields. There is a utility area with sheds providing excellent storage. LOCATION North Lopham is a hugely popular, but quiet location, with its own well-regarded Primary School and Public House.
