A unique opportunity to purchase this charming period house enjoying rural views on the outskirts of this popular village. Formerly a row of cottages, the property has been extensively remodelled, adapted and refurbished to proved a five bedroom home plus two cottage annexes, ideal for multi generational living, holiday lets or guest houses. Occupying a large garden plot, early viewings are recommended.
SITUATION&LOCATION 'Willow Holt' is a delightful period home enjoying a rural location to the West of the popular Norfolk village of Hockwold. Dating back to the early to mid 1800's, the property once formed a terrace of farm cottages, which were subsequently combined, converted and adapted to create a single entity. The property now boasts generous and versatile accommodation including two annexe cottages, a two bedroom and a one bedroom, fondly named as Bluebell Cottage and Apple Tree Cottage by the current owners. These cottages have been let as Airbnb by the current owners but offer many other possibilities such as long term lets (subject to planning) or for those purchasers seeking a multi generational home, this really is the perfect choice.
The main house offers generous accommodation over two floors, with three reception room, a kitchen/dining area and utility to the ground floor and five bedrooms and two bathrooms off the two staircases that lead to the first floor. The property also has Upvc Double glazing throughout and oil fired central heating from two boilers. There is a wood burning stove in the main living room of Willow Holt.
As mentioned, the property occupies a large plot with established gardens, vehicular access into the rear garden at the side as well as a useful double garage adjacent the cottage Annexe with additional driveway and parking.
In recent years the current owners have considerably improved and updated the property with recent improvements to the annexe cottages. In addition, within the last ten years the main roof of the whole property including the attached double garage has been re felted and re tiled.
The sale of Willow Holt represents a glorious opportunity for those purchasers seeking a country home offering countless opportunities. So whether you are seeking ample space for guests, an investment opportunity or a home for you and your wider family this is a home to add to your short list. Early viewings are highly recommended.
