Charming Three-Bedroom Woodland Cottage

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer Farm Cottage, a charming three-bedroom home, ideally situated within an attractive woodland setting in Bawsey, on the outskirts of King’s Lynn. With Bawsey Country Park directly opposite, the property is perfectly positioned for those who enjoy the outdoors, with an abundance of walks and countryside on the doorstep, including a footpath leading through to the beautiful Roydon Common. The cottage is full of character, with attractive period features complemented by a number of carefully considered updates, including a recently refitted family bathroom. The ground floor comprises a welcoming open-plan living/dining room which forms the heart of the home, alongside a separate kitchen and the stunning bathroom. Upstairs, there are three comfortable double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living, guests or home working. Outside, the property occupies a generous plot nestled within the woodland, with an attractive approach and off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The large, fully enclosed garden offers plenty of space to enjoy the surroundings, with a patio area providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Adding further potential, the property has previously benefited from planning permission for a substantial two-storey extension, which would enhance the existing ground-floor living space while creating an additional master bedroom with ensuite facilities on the first floor. This is truly a charming woodland cottage offering well-proportioned accommodation, a generous garden and exciting potential for future enhancement, all within easy reach of King’s Lynn and surrounded by picturesque countryside.
Accommodation

Visitors are welcomed into the property via the entrance hall, providing a useful space for coats and shoes before continuing into the main living areas. The heart of the home is the wonderful open-plan living/dining room, providing a versatile space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The living area overlooks the front of the property, while the dining area sits centrally and benefits from a useful built-in storage cupboard beneath the stairs, together with a charming feature fireplace housing a log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Located just off the dining area is the separate kitchen, which overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with a range of storage units, an integrated electric oven, hob with extractor and space for additional appliances. Completing the ground floor is the recently fitted family bathroom, finished with attractive contemporary fittings and comprising a p-shaped bath with overhead shower, wash basin with vanity unit and WC.

Upstairs, the central landing leads to three comfortable bedrooms. Bedroom one enjoys views across the woodland to the front of the property, while bedrooms two and three overlook the rear garden.
