Common View, Bury Road
This charming semi-detached cottage, believed to date back to 1800, seamlessly blends period character with modern comforts. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of history is evident in the exposed beams and stunning inglenook fireplace with an inset cast iron stove, which serves as the centrepiece of the spacious reception room.
The kitchen and bathroom provide contemporary convenience without compromising the home’s traditional appeal. Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys breathtaking views across the beautifully kept gardens and the rolling Waveney Valley beyond.
The exterior of the property offers just as much charm and practicality as the interior. A large shingled driveway provides ample off-road parking, while a hardstanding area leads to the substantial timber-clad garage/workshop, measuring 19'7" x 10'4" (5.97m x 3.15m). This versatile space benefits from power, lighting, and a concrete floor, making it ideal for a variety of uses.
Attached to the garage is a timber and felt-roofed garden room, perfect for use as a potting shed or additional storage. The rear of the property opens onto a generous patio area, leading to an extensive lawn surrounded by beautifully maintained borders, mature hedging, and a selection of sheds and outbuildings.
The rear garden is particularly impressive, offering an abundance of space in comparison to the cottage itself. Its generous proportions allow plenty of room for relaxation and entertaining, as well as potential for extension (subject to planning permission).
A paved pathway leads to the far end of the garden, where the mature landscaping creates a private and tranquil setting. Convenient access to the garage is also available from the garden, further enhancing the property’s practicality.
