Full Details for 3 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Dereham, NR20 :

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this charming semi-detached cottage, quietly positioned in the pretty village of Whissonsett. Built in the early 1900's, the cottage originally formed part of the village Reading Rooms before being adapted into residential dwellings. Much of the charm and character remains in place throughout the pleasantly proportioned interior. The accommodation briefly comprises bay-fronted sitting room, dining room with wood burner, kitchen/breakfast room and utility/boot room on the ground floor; with three bedrooms and family bathroom arranged around the first floor landing. Outside, there is generous off-road car parking alongside an elevated lawn with gated access to a shingle seating area, which in turn leads through to an enclosed section of lawn with planted boarders. 

WHISSONSETT Whissonsett is a small village that prides itself on its sense of community. It has a long history of fundraising and has also won competitions for best-kept village in 1996 and Anglia in Bloom award in 1994. The village has a bowling green, village hall, a horticultural society, keep fit group and Women's Institute, amongst other things. Whissonsett is in the catchment area for both the sought after and high performing Litcham School as well as Brisley Primary School with its Outstanding rated Ofsted report. St Mary's Church dates in part to the 14th and 15th centuries. The church features a particularly wide nave, a tower with buttresses and battlements with gargoyles. The village sign, designed by a villager features an apple (referring to the orchards run by the Stangroom family), stocks (no longer in the village), a well (no longer the source of water but still in existence) and a windmill (the village used to have two windmills). The market town of Fakenham is approximately four miles away whilst Dereham is a little further, approximately seven miles away.
