Brisley Road, Horningtoft, NR20

Travellers Cottage is a charming surprisingly large semi-detached period cottage situated on the edge of the popular rural village of Horningtoft.  The property would now benefit from a programme of refurbishment but many period features remain including an open fireplace in the sitting room, latch doors, picture rails, timber windows and exposed pine floorboards.

The spacious ground floor accommodation comprises a kitchen/breakfast room which is open plan to the dining room, sitting room, cloakroom and study with a garden room overlooking the gardens to the rear.  Upstairs, the landing leads to 4 bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, the property is set back from the road behind a small lawned garden with driveway parking to the side and a range of useful outbuildings.  The mains gardens are south facing and are of a good size and include a timber garden studio building, ideal for a home office, with a delightful area of woodland to the rear.  In all, the gardens and grounds amount to approximately 0.3 acre (subject to survey).

Offered for sale with no onward chain, Travellers Cottage would make an ideal characterful permanent residence in a convenient location with good access to local market towns and the north Norfolk coastline or, perhaps, as a second home with holiday lettings potential.

The village is surrounded by undulating and well-wooded countryside and is approximately 12 miles from the beautiful North Norfolk Coast with the Cathedral City of Norwich within easy motoring distance with a rail link to London Liverpool Street and Norwich International Airport.
