Full Details for 2 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Fakenham, NR21 :
This charming flint property stands on its own between Holt and Fakenham with a 3 acre tree girt field to the rear. It was originally part of a Victorian inn called The Blue Bell as well as once being a butcher's shop.
Bell Cottage now provides comfortable accommodation with oil fired central heating and scope for improvement. It has a rustic feel with pine doors, solid floors and traditional materials. There is a garage alongside and a small garden to the rear beyond which lies the level three acre field.
The cottage is located close to the crossing of the road to Hindringham from The Crawfish restaurant on the A148 with the by road from Thursford Green to the service station at Bale further along the A148 towards Holt. This relatively open countryside is designated as Tributary Farmland with a variety of woodland and different types of farming as well as amenity uses close by. At about 80 metres (262 feet) above sea level Bell Cottage lies near the western end of the Cromer Ridge which rises to Norfolk's highest point some fifteen miles to the east. Thursford is now famous for its steam collection and Christmas Spectacular. Holt, Fakenham and the coast are all within approximately 6 miles of here with the A148 and B1354 providing ready access to other Norfolk towns.

The freehold of these three acres is included with vacant possession being available at Michaelmas (11th October, 2014) after the current corn crop has been harvested.
