Mill Cottage, Lynn Road, Sculthorpe

Brief Description

A stunning detached residence in large mature grounds offering spacious family accommodation together with income producing annexe and home office/studio in a lovely setting.

Main Description

Mill Cottage is set in mature grounds extending to 0.53 of an acre (subject to survey) close to the river Wensum at the end of a lane leading to Sculthorpe Mill in an enviable semi-rural location, yet within easy striking distance of Fakenham and other amenities.

This outstanding residence combines the main house offering spacious family accommodation in an interesting fusion of character features and contemporary convenience, together with income producing barn annexe and another versatile vintage caravan home office/studio. The accommodation offers potential for various family requirements, including a ground floor bedroom suite in the main house and, the annexe, plus, of course, those wishing to have the option of working from home or requiring space for therapy practices, hobbies or crafts. The annexe is currently an income producing holiday let but offers scope for housing a dependent relative or nanny/care staff if required.

Mill Cottage offers a rarely available opportunity to acquire spacious and flexible accommodation of character, style and quality in a prime setting with the added benefit of large mature grounds and Belton Duffey invite your personal inspection to truly appreciate all that this property has to offer.
