Description

This traditional two-storey cottage, set on a generous plot of approximately 10.6 acres (STS), presents an intriguing renovation opportunity for those looking to invest in a property steeped in charm. The exterior showcases a distinctive pink façade with black detailing and a classic tiled pitched roof, enhanced by modern solar panels for energy efficiency. Inside, character is abundant with exposed beams and a feature fireplace that create an inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The layout includes four bedrooms, with flexible living spaces comprising a kitchen/diner, lounge, sitting room, pantry, and bathroom on the ground floor. While all windows are double-glazed for ample natural light, the interiors would benefit from modernisation to fully realise their potential. Notably, the property's extensive grounds feature arable fields and equestrian areas along with various outbuildings such as pig sheds and a workshop—ideal for conversion or redevelopment (subject to planning consent). Located in the picturesque village of Hopton on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, this property offers not just a family home but also significant investment prospects given its versatile land use. With local amenities nearby and excellent transport links to larger towns and cities, it’s well-positioned for those seeking both rural serenity and community engagement.
