Old Street, Newton Flotman, NR15

With 62 sqm of outbuildings, this character home offers a wealth of possibilities! The original period cottage was extended in the 1930’s to now provide four double bedrooms and two reception rooms. Viewing is essential to appreciate the opportunity here.

A much-loved family home for over 30 years, The Gables is now ready to welcome new owners; those ready to embrace it’s charm and character “as is”, and those looking to maximise the potential that a home of this size offers along with a vision to make best use of some wonderful outbuildings…Perhaps as annexed accommodation, Airbnb/holiday let/rental income opportunity, or working or running a business from home (all subject to gaining the necessary permissions of course).

The original cottage is believed to date from the 18th Century with a substantial extension in the 1930’s. The outbuildings have served a variety of purposes over the years, from housing animals, cars and motorbikes to workshops, storage and playrooms – check out the children’s murals on the walls.
The accommodation itself has been well-maintained and modernised where appropriate, without compromising the country cottage feel.
On the ground floor, you will find a generous living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, a separate dining room, and a kitchen/breakfast room. Upstairs you have four double bedrooms, the main one benefiting from the addition of an en-suite shower room. In addition, a smaller 5th bedroom is currently used as a dressing room, but with views over the garden towards the village church, it would also make a great little study. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Positioned adjacent to the A140, a deep laurel hedge protects your privacy and gives the country cottage garden a good degree of seclusion. The garden itself is mainly lawned with some mature shrubs around the borders. The paved and shingled terrace between the house and outbuildings, is perfect for your plants pots, injecting a burst of colour in the spring and summer. To the side is an off-road parking space.
