About this property

DESCRIPTION Flint Cottage dates to the 17th century with later additions and is Listed Grade II as a property of architectural and historic interest. The house and grounds are wonderfully positioned in the sought after village of Bawburgh. The property itself is of solid brick and flint construction, colour washed, under a pantile roof with varying elevations. It has had two extensive refurbishments in 1974 and 2010, and the addition of garden room in 2014. The roof to the rear of the property was completed in 2010 and the front roof is to be re-roofed in April 2026.

Today, Flint Cottage stands as a remarkable family home in which the current vendors have been caring custodians during their 15 years of occupation. The accommodation is well arranged across two floors accessed at the side into the reception hall which leads off to the sitting room and to the east lies an attractive principal reception room. The dual aspect sitting room is a delightful space with its inglenook fireplace with log burner and there are lovely views here over the associated gardens. The garden room is positioned off this room and via bi-folding doors across two aspects provides access into the gardens. The beamed kitchen breakfast room occupies the northeast wing of the house and benefits from extensive wall and base units together with an Aga; off the kitchen lies a dining room and in addition, there is a cloakroom, utility room and useful storage throughout.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, and two bathrooms positioned off a spacious landing area. Stairs lead up from the landing into the attic where there are two further potential bedrooms with attractive exposed beams.

Flint Cottage is approached from the east via a driveway on the west side of the house with an established wisteria. Across Church Street, immediately opposite the house, is a brick built double garage with twin up and over doors and parking for two further cars at the front which acts as a vital component of the whole.

A pathway leads between the carport and the house to the rear gardens which are predominantly lawned with a variety of mature shrubs, plants and trees and includes a part-caged kitchen garden, greenhouse and shed. At the far north side of the garden a pedestrian bridge leads over the dyke to the grazing meadow and stable block. There is a separate vehicular right of way over Bawburgh Mill driveway bridge to access this area.

The fields at the rear are currently included within the sale but can be excluded if a buyer wished to proceed with just the house and associated garden.

The gardens and grounds in all extend to 4.1 acres (STMS) including approximately 150 yards of river frontage.
