Description

* COSY COTTAGE WITH SUPERB SOCIAL EXTENSION * Step inside and smile with what "The Little House" has to offer. Full of character and charm, what was a small two up two down house has now been lovingly extended to offer a stunning kitchen / dining room with bi-folding doors, incorporating a cleverly designed enclosed courtyard with gazebo - perfect for those who like to entertain.
Complete with an abundance of parking, a double garage and a beautiful lawned front garden, the main accommodation to the ground floor comprises a sitting room with inglenook fireplace and fuel burning stove, inner lobby / office space, downstairs shower room and the superb kitchen / dining room with enclosed courtyard. Upstairs are two bedrooms (one off the other), with the owners currently utilising one as a sizeable dressing area.
LocationHaddiscoe is a small village with a population of around 500. It is situated some 6.5 miles North East of the market town of Beccles. The village has a strong sense of Community with a local Pub and Community centre. St Mary's Church at Haddiscoe is one of the 124 round-tower churches of Norfolk, believed - despite its round tower - to be of early Norman origin.

Beccles town is made up of small market squares and winding streets nestled by the River Waveney with fantastic views of the Southern Broads. The town centre provides a blend of quirky, independent shops, restaurants, cafes and other services that make it a highly desirable place to live. There are a host of community events, festivals and entertainment held throughout the year. Beccles offers a wealth of diversity, combining history with modern-day culture.
Open Plan Kitchen / Dining Room
Situated at the rear of the property with bi-folding doors opening out into the enclosed courtyard, the kitchen / dining room is the real social hub of the house, with plenty of space to both dine and entertain. Fetching light from a sizable skylight and double glazed window to the side aspect, the kitchen comprises a modern range of wall and base units with roll top work surfaces and under-cabinet lighting, integral sink and drainer with mixer tap along with an integral fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine as well as space for a range cooker with overhead extractor hood. Finished with hard-wearing tiled flooring, USB sockets and inset spotlighting, an opening leads into the inner lobby.
Lobby / Potential Office Space
With hard-wearing tiled flooring, double glazed window to the side aspect and exposed beams, this handy space provides both space for coats along with providing access to the shower room and sitting room.
