We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Willow Cottage represents a rarely available opportunity to acquire an extended detached property offering flexible and spacious family accommodation that would benefit from general improvement according to personal taste and specification while having the added attraction of a large mature plot, which extends to approximately 1/3 acre (subject to survey) and a pleasant village setting.
The accommodation includes entrance porch/boot room, utility room, kitchen/breakfast room, inner hall, cloakroom, conservatory, sitting/dining room and study on the ground floor and on the first floor a dual aspect bedroom ripe for sub-division to provide an en suite or fourth bedroom, 2 further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Worthy of particular note is the large mature garden with sweeping lawns and inset mature trees to the side and rear and private driveway with turning area, providing off road parking for numerous vehicles to the front and an attached garage.
This property is offered for sale with no onward chain on behalf of the executors of an estate. Sculthorpe is a village blessed with amenities that many other villages of its size no longer have.
As well as the thriving community village hall and the primary school, there is an outdoor play area, bowling green and allotments.
It also boasts the much celebrated Sculthorpe Mill country pub having been awarded as one of The Times top 100 hotels in the country.
Close by nestled in the Wensum Valley, is the 45 acre Sculthorpe Nature Reserve home to and run by the Hawk and Owl Trust.
The village is 2.5 miles north west of Fakenham and 3.1 south east of South Creake.
The north Norfolk coast is some 20 minutes' drive away with the nearest mainline station to London located in King's Lynn, approximately 20 miles to the west.

The inner hallway, with cloakroom off, leads to the principal reception rooms which include the conservatory with lovely garden views, sitting/dining room, again with garden aspect and study.
First Floor The first floor, currently 3 bedrooms, offers tremendous scope for improvement and reconfiguration as the dual aspect principal bedroom would easily sub-divide to provide a fourth bedroom or an en-suite, if preferred, and there is a family bathroom.
