Full Details for 3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Dereham, NR20 :
Sowerbys are delighted to offer this charming former farm workers cottage, idyllically positioned with stunning countryside views to the north within the hamlet of Gateley, in the very heart of rural mid-Norfolk. The cottage enjoys a calm and unfussy atmosphere, with a combination of tasteful decoration and high quality fittings, along with an abundance of natural light flooding in through the handsome elevations to the front and rear. The peaceful surroundings compound the sense of tranquillity within the cottage, which could be equally suitable for use as a full-time home for a couple/family or alternatively as a holiday retreat.
The vendors have undertaken an extensive programme of renovations. The bespoke, hand-made solid hardwood kitchen, modern bathroom, garden office/workshop and outside boiler are all recent additions.
The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, sitting room, a delightful 'eat-in' style bespoke, hardwood kitchen, utility room, conservatory and cloakroom on the ground floor; with three well-proportioned bedrooms and the recently improved bathroom reached from the first floor landing. The gardens are an exceptional feature, with a well sized rear lawn leading on to a shingle entertaining area.
At the very back of the garden, a gate opens out on to a neighbouring field from where the views, which include the sight of the 15th century church of St Helen, are truly breath-taking. To the front, there is a shingle parking area which has in the past accommodated up to three vehicles. Behind a wrought iron railing, there is a section of lawn which also incorporates three raised vegetable beds.
