Cottage for sale in Old Street, Newton Flotman NR15

Dating from the 1800's, what was once the village butcher's shop was converted into a residence 1998/1999, and has been the much-treasured home for the current owners ever since, and clearly no expense has been spared (inside and out) in creating the wonderful home that Waterside Cottage is today,

You will have heard this many a time, but you really do need to view this beautiful cottage to fully appreciate not only the character, which extends throughout but also the spacious rooms and practical living to be enjoyed by couples or families alike.

From the attractive entrance hall, you find the generous living room to your left, complete with a multi-fuel stove. Opposite is the dining room, with plenty of space for an 8-seat table & chairs, and, being adjacent to the downstairs cloakroom/W.C. It could be used as an additional bedroom if that better suited your requirements. They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and this is no exception, in fact, you might say it is exceptional! Beautifully fitted with a bespoke range of cabinets, and space for your free-standing appliances as well as a table & chairs. Of note is the striking "Everhot" triple oven, which could also be yours by way of separate negotiation.

Upstairs, and all off the landing, you will find three bedrooms; two of which are good doubles, and the third smaller room could is a generous single, but you could fit a double bed if required. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, beautifully appointed with a slipper bath.

Stepping out into the garden, from the kitchen, you are greeted by a lovely terrace, the perfect vantage point to take in the stunning garden, and also to dine or enjoy a drink in the westerly evening sun. Words are not going to do justice to the garden haven our sellers have lovingly created, you need to take it in in person but do not worry if you do not consider yourself to be green-fingered; the hard work has been done for you and is surprisingly easy to maintain. There is even a small stream that meanders through the bottom of the garden, and tucked around the corner is an additional area of garden, ideal for growing your vegetables, and keeping your shed and greenhouse out of sight. A pedestrian gate opens onto a shingled area behind the terrace of three cottages, where you have an allocated space to park.

Additional points of note:

Since the EPC was commissioned in 2020, the roof has been removed and re-lined, and the living room and dining room windows have been replaced with hardwood double-glazed units, to complement those fitted in 2017.
