A historic property in Cringleford, near Norwich, is on the market for £695,000.
The detached cottage on Newmarket Road is one of the earliest recorded properties in the village and once formed part of the old dairy.
Today the property offers a blend of modern living space and amenities with original features such as beams and inglenook fireplaces.
Witch marks, which are believed to have been created in days gone by to ward off evil, even feature on the bressummer beams above the fireplaces.
On the ground floor of the property, there’s an entrance hallway with doors to a utility room and WC on one side and a door to the new country cottage-style kitchen on the other.
The kitchen oversees the dining room, with its inglenook fireplace and double doors to the garden.
The dining room leads to the spacious lounge, which features an inglenook fireplace with woodburner.
A study/family room, which is an ideal space for working from home, completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, there’s a landing area, a master suite, two further bedrooms and a family shower room.
There’s plenty of character on this floor, with exposed beams and ledged doors with Suffolk latches.
In the dual-aspect master suite, the bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, while the modern en-suite bathroom includes a free-standing bath. In the corner of the bedroom, a ‘secret’ staircase behind a character door leads down to the corner of the dining room.
