Welcome to Norman Cottage. This exquisite property, steeped in history and nestled between the picturesque Lincolnshire Wolds and the East Coast Beaches. Believed to date back to the late 19th century, this Grade II listed residence was originally constructed as a Curate's cottage, offering a unique glimpse into the past.

As you step inside, you are greeted by an abundance of character that permeates every room. From the elegant arched windows and doors to the intricate rope twist brickwork, every detail tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition. The distinctive lancet style windows add to the property's undeniable charm, while the beautiful pantile roof adds a touch of timeless elegance.

The current owners have meticulously renovated Norman Cottage in recent years, making alterations to modernise and improve the layout, yet retaining all of the original charm and character. With four reception rooms, a wonderful kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a utility room to the main house. There is even a secondary entrance to the sitting room which could provide annexed living.

If further space is required, there is also planning consent for an orangery which has been beautifully detailed to have parapet walls and a vaulted roof light and would surely make a wonderful addition to the property.

Norman Cottage sits on a plot measuring a little over half an acre (sts) and in addition to the main cottage there are beautifully landscaped gardens, a wonderful bar and outdoor area which offer the amenities for the most wonderful garden parties. A further, more relaxed entertaining area, as well as a double office space with separate access to the lane, ideal for a home business. Nestled within the grounds you will also find a summer house and child's Wendy house, as well as a smaller more private wild garden area. Both the main house and office outbuilding have independent lpg fired central heating systems.
