Charming semi-detached Grade II listed cottage requiring full restoration, situated in the desirable and well-served village of East Harling

Pear Tree Cottage is a semi-detached Grade II listed thatched cottage, with unusually spacious rooms for a cottage of its type, set on a substantial plot in the heart of the well-served and desirable Norfolk village of East Harling. The cottage is derelict and structurally unsound. Prior to being listed, it had planning approval for demolition and rebuilding. However, now listed, any redevelopment would require the necessary listed building and planning consents. The local Historic Buildings Officer has been working proactively with the owners regarding future plans. There is potential to extend the property to create a substantial home, subject to the necessary consents. Previous planning discussions have also contemplated the possibility of separate living space in the garden, either as a separate dwelling or as an annexe. Any such proposal would be subject to the necessary consents. The property also benefits from a double garage to the rear, accessed via a shared driveway to the side of the cottage. This is a rare opportunity for a complete restoration project with huge scope. PLEASE NOTE CASH BUYERS ONLY NB; Viewings strictly by appointment only. No one to access site without permission.
