Nestled within a charming coastal hamlet, this semi-detached period cottage presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Located just a short stroll from Brancaster and situated on the northern side of the road, this property backs onto open farmland, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. The substantial north-facing garden not only enhances outdoor living but also adds to the overall appeal of the home.
Entering through the rear courtyard, you’ll find a traditional layout featuring a kitchen/dining room at the back, complemented by a cozy living room at the front. A more recent addition includes a downstairs bathroom, expanding usability on the ground floor. The upper level accommodates three bedrooms—two spacious doubles and a single—where captivating views of RSPB nature reserves and coastal landscapes can be enjoyed, setting this cottage apart from many others in North Norfolk.
An additional outbuilding at the rear, originally used as a wash house and coal store, holds potential for conversion into extra living space by connecting it to the main dwelling. The generous dimensions of the plot also suggest possibilities for a substantial side extension, pending necessary planning approvals. While the property has been rented for several years and is in need of comprehensive refurbishment throughout, its inherent character and prime location offer remarkable potential for those with vision to transform it into a stunning residence.
The surrounding area adds significant value to this property. Situated between Brancaster and Thornham along the A149 coastal road, Titchwell is known for its superb RSPB bird reserve which boasts diverse habitats including reedbeds and saltmarshes. With access to extensive sandy beaches that permit sweeping views across The Wash, nature enthusiasts will find themselves in an ideal location to observe various bird species such as dunlins and ringed plovers.
This cottage is served by mains electricity, water, drainage systems, and oil-fired central heating. Currently classified under Band B for council tax purposes and holding an energy efficiency rating of E (reference number available), it represents not just a home but an investment in lifestyle possibilities. Offering both charm and untapped potential in one of Norfolk's sought-after regions makes this property an intriguing prospect for renovators or investors alike.
