A three-bedroom character cottage situated in a popular suburb of Norwich has come up for sale for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century.

The property at Harvey Lane in Thorpe St Andrew is listed for sale with Brown&Co for £395,000 and comes to market for the first time in 24 years.

The current owners have carried out several major renovations but have still made sure the property retains much of its original character – including open fireplaces, exposed beams and Norfolk pamments.

In addition there is a lovely sitting room with a log burner, statement fireplace and set of French doors, leading into the garden, plus a modern family bathroom with a roll-top tub situated off the hall.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, including the master with an en suite shower room and a further double bedroom is located in the converted loft space above. This includes a beautiful vaulted ceiling and has an adjacent toilet and sink.

Much of the charm remains in the property’s gardens, which extend to around 0.11 acres and have been wonderfully maintained by the current owners to offer flowing lawns to the south which are flanked by flower borders.
