3 bed detached house for sale

The Croft, Old Costessey NR8

Situated on The Croft, a lane in the sought-after village of Old Costessey, this beautiful cottage has been thoughtfully reconfigured and updated throughout, creating a wonderful home for families, couples, and individuals alike with the added potential of converting the double garage into a small annexe if desired (planning permission granted under South Norfolk Council ref 2022/1593)

Entering beneath the oak frame porch, you step into an attractive lobby, complete with a window seat and cloak cupboard. Off this entrance is a well-appointed contemporary shower room, and another latch & brace door takes you through to a stunning and generous dual aspect kitchen/dining room; comprehensively fitted with a range of cabinets, complete with integrated appliances, a butler sink, and range-style cooker. To one end, this great space is open plan to a snug/family room with glazed double doors opening out onto a terrace. Opposite, you will find a door to the sitting room, which overlooks the pretty cottage garden, and no cottage would be complete without a wonderful wood-burning stove, which in this case is inset into the exposed brick chimney breast. From here you have access to a lovely, bright room, which would make an ideal study, playroom or even a fourth bedroom as required.

Upstairs you will find three generous bedrooms, the main bedroom benefitting from a modern en-suite shower room, and bedrooms two and three have fitted wardrobes. Completing the accommodation is a fabulous bathroom, fitted with a modern Victorian style suite with a claw foot bath.

Your outside space wraps around the cottage. As you approach the driveway, electric double gates open to the shingles parking and turning space, and give you access to the double garage (behind which is a small garden space)

A few steps down, and you are on the terrace, bounded to one side by a picket fence, and from where you can walk either side of the cottage to reach the main garden. Enclosed by natural hedging, and planted in a cottage style, it is a wonderful spot to sit out and enjoy your coffee or lunch at any time of year, but really coming into its own through the spring and summer months.

But don't take our word for it...this is a home that really should be viewed to appreciate not only the wonderful accommodation, but the great location within the local conservation area - somewhat of a hidden gem; quiet roads with lots of greenery and mature woodland. You ́re also close to the River Wensum and there ́s abundant wildlife, a walkers paradise! But you ́re also just a short drive from the centre of Norwich, the retail facilities at Longwater, local golf courses and much much more.
