This semi-detached Cottage is dated 1896 and was built by the foundry owner in Corpusty whose descendant still owns it to this day. The simple brick and pantiled building has been fully refurbished over the summer to provide comfortable accommodation comprising newly fitted kitchen and a new bathroom all with the benefit of double glazing and modern electric heating. There are gardens to front and rear with a further area immediately opposite with a shed and providing potential for off-road parking.
Little London is an attractive hamlet on the river Bure immediately upstream from the village of Corpusty. The latter has a shop, pub and primary school around the well-known common. There are public footpaths through the meadows and a disused railwayline provides a wildlife corridor along the valley.
Outside This property is being let by the same landlord who owns the other half (No. 2) of this semi-detached pair of cottages. The lawned gardens to front and rear are divided down the centre line but not fenced. There is pedestrian access via a wrought-iron handgate to the back (north) door whereas No. 2 has vehicular access at the far end. There is a triangular parcel on the opposite side of the road with a timber and felt shed for the exclusive use of No. 1. This could be used for off street parking and the landlord is prepared to co-operate over any removal of the roadside hedge that may be required.
