Plummers Cottage is a traditional unspoilt detached period cottage built circa 1832, that has retained many of its original features, including beams, stone work and fireplaces. Located in a rural setting on the Fringe of the north Norfolk village of Hickling, on the edge of the Hickling Broad, the largest of the Norfolk Broads famous for its wildlife, fishing, sailing and natures reserves. The property enjoys easy access to the local amenities that include a primary school, The Greyhound public house, the Pleasure Boat Inn, owned by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, a community centre and church. Additional amenities can be found in the nearby larger town of Stalham, where there is a supermarket, petrol station and doctors’ surgery.

Set on a generous plot of just over one acre, the cottage is approached at the rear through a five-bar timber gate onto a gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to a mature shrub garden and a storage shed. To the front, a paved and gravel terrace, bordered by pretty raised flower beds and ideal for socialising with friends and family, extends away to a beautifully landscaped, south west facing, lawn garden with additional gated entry, mature trees and storage outbuildings.

Well-presented throughout the main entrance to the property leads into a porch and through to a breakfast room with an adjoining kitchen. From the kitchen a passageway leads into a bathroom with a roll top bath and a lounge dining room with feature log burning fireplace and access to a sitting room, with a second wood burning stove, beyond this there is a study. To the first floor, there is a family bathroom and four bedrooms.

The property is further complimented in its location, only four miles to the dog friendly sandy coastline at Sea Palling or Waxham where you can purchase a traditional fish supper and traditional seaside donuts. The capital city of Norwich is located approximately twenty miles to the north west, providing access to the main train station, excellent retail therapy, numerous restaurants and cafes, great night life and extensive historical interest.
