This charmingly improved period cottage certainly delivers the slice of Norfolk life that you have been looking for. A delightful home for many years, and a reputable interiors shop - The Old Stores is the perfect blend of character and style offering a work-life balance within a popular village setting. The shop and main home cohabit comfortably and are not intrusive with one another. Although the shop and home are connected, various staircases lead to the first floor, allowing them to be used independently, overall the property is approx. 3000sqft.
The most natural entrance to the main home is through a delightful rear garden, where a part glazed covered porch adorned with mature grapevines, welcomes you to the kitchen. The kitchen and dining area is spacious and stylish, conjuring up images of leisurely breakfasts with natural sunlight flooding this well designed and tastefully decorated space. This dining area with restored period fireplace, is the perfect zone to dine with friends and then retire to the cosy snug located next door. A separate and re-modelled sitting room with a vaulted ceiling is also a bright a relaxing sanctuary, and French doors allows access to the main garden. Completing the ground floor of the cottage is a utility room and WC.
Upstairs offers a truly special retreat, ascended by quirky staircases. There are two luxurious bedrooms to the rear, that share a well-appointed shower room. A further generous principal bedroom has an enviable dressing room with freestanding bath. The two rooms to the front are currently configured as part of the shop but offer many possibilities, having been used as bedrooms in the past.
Divided into three spaces, the shop is immersed in character and charm, with a traditional shop front window flooding the main store area with natural light.
Outside the vendors have created their own oasis, a garden of considerable size running along the rear of the property following a brook on the boundary. A truly magical garden space, which was in fact the perfect setting for the vendors wedding. In addition to an idyllic outdoor dining area, the garden also features a vegetable plot, separate outbuilding, lawned areas and an array of well-established plants. There is off road parking space for the shop to the front, as well as space for two/three cars to the rear.
Offered for sale with no upward chain, it is time for The Old Stores to begin a new chapter.
