With a keen guide price of £225,000 - £250,000 (plus fees) this secluded cottage close to Marsham Heath, Norfolk could offer the perfect rural escape.
Boasting nearly 30 acres of ancient woodland, Quakers Cottage is a rare property with exceptional potential. It enjoys a remote location, only accessible via a restricted byway, ideal for those wanting to live in peaceful seclusion with no close neighbours and surrounded by wildlife.
Arranged across two floors and offering approximately 1094 square feet of space, this property is in need of modernisation but already benefits from generous and well-proportioned accommodation. The ground floor includes two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and large conservatory. Upstairs, two double bedrooms complete the cottage’s current layout.
Thanks to the generous size of its plot, Quakers Cottage presents ample opportunity for further development (subject to planning permission) and has the potential to be an excellent family home, a profitable holiday rental or a rewarding redevelopment project.
Externally, the cottage is surrounded by an impressive plot of 29.59 acres of ancient woodland (stms). Although there are public footpaths traversing the land, the cottage garden remains enclosed and is only accessible through two large five bar gates.
The property boasts a large number of outbuildings, including two timber sheds, a timber workshop, open cart shed and thatched yurt. Previously owned by a dog breeder, the property also features several kennels with hard standings on the grounds. Additionally, a hot tub can be found at the rear of the property.
Despite its remote position, the house is well-equipped with mains electric, while the water supply is sourced from a borehole and supported by a filtration system situated on the grounds. The drainage system, we believe, is provided by a septic tank.
Offering the chance to develop your own idyllic retreat, Quakers Cottage is situated on the edge of the village of Marsham, 5 miles south of Aylsham and almost equidistant between Norwich and the North Norfolk coast.
Marsham is an area celebrated for its natural beauty, and as well as owning your own private woodland brimming with wildlife, the property is just a stone’s throw from Marsham Heath - a 116.7-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Please note that the heath both sides of the property byway is protected, with proposed plans to restrict traffic to the cottage and the local gun club. A detailed inspection of the property is highly recommended, alongside a viewing to appreciate the opportunity on offer.
