Description

Nestled in a peaceful setting within the sought-after village of Bressingham, this Grade II listed cottage, steeped in history since the 1800s, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Constructed primarily from clay lump, this attached residence offers a generous and private plot adorned with multiple outbuildings, including a versatile studio featuring a shower, WC, sauna, and kitchenette—ideal for remote work or potential holiday letting (subject to planning permissions). The internal layout boasts two to three bedrooms spread over two levels, complemented by a cozy sitting room showcasing a woodburner for warmth during colder seasons. While the cottage radiates character and charm typical of its era, it awaits modernisation to fully realise its potential. Entering the home via a side entrance leads into an inviting hallway that connects to the kitchen and shower room. The kitchen is equipped with essential base units and offers ample space for additional appliances alongside an oil-fired boiler. Flowing through to the main living area reveals original features including brick fireplaces and strategic layout options that can transform existing spaces into desirable dining or entertainment areas. The first-floor landing accesses two character-rich bedrooms, perfect for comfortable living. The large garden sprawling approximately 0.16 acres enhances this property’s appeal further with broad lawns lining the shingle driveway, leading to diverse vegetation including fruit trees and mature shrubs. A spacious garage complements the site along with various areas for outdoor leisure activities like hot tubs or patios. Notably, due to the size of the plot, there is also considerable scope for extension (subject to planning). This property represents an exciting canvas for those looking to invest in a charming home while creating value through thoughtful enhancements.
