Home and business for sale in picturesque Congham

Understood to have previously been part of the former High House Estate, it is thought that this home has been part of the landscape and history of the local area for around a century.

The current owner has occupied High Cottages for the past decade and is now looking to relocate for their own next adventure.

The house has been extended and a bed and breakfast business established – albeit more as a hobby in recent years but still welcoming the occasional guest to enjoy the fabulous and picturesque surroundings on offer at Congham.

On the ground floor, the day-to-day accommodation features an open plan kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room and conservatory, each room providing substantial space for entertaining guests and family. Some idyllic views are particularly noteworthy from the kitchen window, as they stretch out into the woodland beyond.

Exposed brickwork and timber beams offer a warmth and timeless comfort as the fabric of the property tells its own story, complemented by the addition of two log burners and an AGA cooker which is perfectly in-keeping with the country cottage appeal.

Two double bedrooms, with en-suite shower rooms, are ideal for business or family use and, being situated to one side of the home, they also benefit from a little extra privacy.

Upstairs are three further bedrooms each with elevated vistas over the rural setting.

Impressively, one has the use of a roof terrace which, being largely south facing, is a superb space from dawn to dusk.

All the bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with an over-bath shower.

Outside, the garden enjoys sun throughout the day and there are a number of different areas which lend themselves to open lawn or fruit and vegetable patches.

Extensive off-road parking is great for business operations but, equally, with five bedrooms, there is plenty of space for the comings and goings of family and friends.

A number of timber framed stores lend themselves to numerous potential functions and a place to keep bikes, beach gear or even a snooker table.

The property is on the market for £650,000. For more details, or to fix a viewing, contact Sowerbys on 01553 603607.
