This country property in North Norfolk presents a unique opportunity to purchase a charming cottage nestled within 0.45 acres of grounds, with planning permission already in place.
Aptly named Flint Cottage, the period home is a showcase of classic heritage architecture. Built in 1853, much of the property’s original features remain, with intricate brick and flint work adorning the exterior.
On entering the property, the interior is humble in comparison. Comprising of an entrance hall, open plan sitting room and dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, in addition to a cloakroom and two bedrooms at first-floor level.
However, it’s this property’s tranquil setting and planning permission that makes this lot so unique.
Sitting on just under half an acre, Flint Cottage benefits from an idyllic location, with a tributary of the River Bure flowing along the northern and western boundaries of the plot.
The current planning consent grants permission for a two-storey detached replacement dwelling with a detached garage, following the demolition of the existing building (NNDC Ref: PF/21/3413).
In addition, the plot has already undergone recent investment from the current owners, with a new treatment plant system installed and the outdoor spaces cleared and ready for landscaping.
You’ll find Flint Cottage in the picturesque North Norfolk hamlet of Alby Hill, nestled in a picturesque rural setting, while also benefiting from easy access to the village of Aldborough.
The nearby village features a range of conveniences, including a small shop and post office, a traditional pub, an active local community centre, a quaint village green and a well-regarded primary school, making it an attractive location for families looking to buy in the area.
This property is also well-placed to explore the wider area, with it being just an eight-mile drive to the North Norfolk coast and twenty miles into the city of Norwich with its impressive cathedral, vibrant restaurant scene and bustling markets.
