Delightful Edwardian Cottage in Brancaster, PE31 8AZ

Built in 1905, this semi-detached cottage retains plenty of period charm while offering excellent potential for its next owners.

Located on the western edge of the village and originally built for the families of farm workers at nearby Manor Farm, this charming home is exceptionally well balanced.

On the ground floor are two separate living rooms - the sitting room to the front and the family dining room to the rear.

Both feature their original fireplaces, adding a real sense of character and grandeur to each space. Beyond the family room is the galley kitchen, and at the very rear sits the family bathroom.

Upstairs, you’ll find three double bedrooms. The generously sized front bedroom enjoys coastal views and retains its original fireplace, as does the bedroom behind it.

The third bedroom is accessed through bedroom two. A convenient WC serves the first floor, adding to the overall practicality of the property.

There is a small enclosed front garden, ideal for letting the dogs out before bed, while the main garden lies to the rear and stretches out to the farmland beyond.

South-facing and open to both the east and west, it enjoys sunshine throughout the day. With side access in place, the garden area can also be used as overflow parking for several cars if required.

Having been in the same family for over twenty years, the time has come for a new chapter.

The cottage offers superb potential, including the opportunity to extend into the generous rear space - something neighbouring homes have already taken advantage of.

The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club is at Brancaster with its fine links course which overlooks the stunning, sandy beach.

Brancaster Beach is home to the shipwreck of the SS Vina, visible from the coast.

On the outskirts of the village is the site of a Roman fort, Branodunum, one of 11 forts built along the south and east coasts to control shipping and trade in the 3rd century.

Nearby Barrow Common is also wonderful to explore, with superb walks, a diverse range of plants and wildlife, and fantastic elevated views of the coast.
