A beautifully-presented four-bedroom cottage that perfectly blends character with modern comforts, featuring light and airy living spaces, a south-facing garden, and off-road parking, ideally located in the heart of Wymondham.
The central hall features a traditional Victorian-style tiled floor and provides access to the ground floor accommodation, with stairs leading to the first floor. The ground floor comprises a dining kitchen, two generous reception rooms, a downstairs cloakroom, and a cellar utility room. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units, timber flooring, an integrated dishwasher, space for a Range-style cooker, and a useful storeroom for a fridge-freezer and additional storage. There are two windows with shutters and a window space fill the space with natural light and character. Both reception rooms overlook the garden through deep bay windows, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The living room is centred around a charming brick fireplace with a log-burning stove, while the other serves as a dining room. A hallway from the kitchen leads to the side of the house and the cloakroom, while the cellar has been fully fitted as a utility room with extra storage, a secondary sink, and plumbing for white goods.
Upstairs, impressively high ceilings enhance four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite with a bath, separate shower, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

These bedrooms share a modern shower room with a large walk-in shower, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.
Externally, the property occupies a generous south-facing plot that wraps around two sides of the house. A gravelled driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and leads directly into the garden. The garden is divided into two distinct areas: a hard-landscaped section with planting, a greenhouse, and a shed, and a main lawn featuring a large patio ideal for entertaining and a summer house. With its southerly orientation and mature boundaries, the garden enjoys sunlight for much of the day and provides a bright and private outdoor space.
