This Grade II listed thatched cottage, known as Forge Cottage, represents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with extensive renovation potential. Set on approximately 0.4 acres (STMS), this home features not only a three/four bedroom main house but also two substantial outbuildings—the former Victorian schoolhouse and the village forge—both ripe for transformation into charming additional living spaces or rental units, pending necessary permissions. The main house boasts characterful elements such as traditional fireplaces, wooden beams, and latch doors across its three reception areas, with one bedroom conveniently located on the ground floor for versatile living arrangements. While the property has been under the same ownership for over four decades and is in need of modernisation, its distinctive historical features offer a solid foundation for a thoughtful refurbishment that could further highlight its unique charm.
Surrounded by well-established gardens dotted with mature shrubs and trees, Forge Cottage provides ample off-road parking and an inviting outdoor space. Located in the sought-after village of Mulbarton, residents enjoy access to local amenities including schools, shops, dining options, and easy connectivity to Norwich about six miles away, making it an appealing choice for families and investors alike.
