Old Fakenham Road, Coxford, PE31

Crome Cottage is a 4 double bedroom, 3 reception room, plus study, period property dating back, in parts, to the 17th century, having been built of brick and flint walls under a clay pantiled roof. The cottage retains much of its period detail including wattle and daub walls, exposed ceiling timbers, pamment tiled and timber floors with original fireplaces and has been sympathetically extended and improved in more recent years to provide spacious contemporary accommodation in a charming village setting.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming hallway, sitting room and dining room, both with fireplaces, garden room with lovely views over the grounds, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility/boot room, cloakroom and study, while, on the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom and a family shower room. The grounds, amounting to 0.87 acre (subject to survey), are a particular feature of the property and include mature, well stocked formal gardens with river frontage, a mainly grassed paddock and extensive parking area.  Outbuildings include a large detached barn/garage, summerhouse and brick storage sheds.

Crome Cottage represents a rarely available combination of character, spacious accommodation, large grounds and village location and we warmly recommend a personal inspection at your earliest convenience.
