Methwold is a village known for its traditional chalk and flint cottages and houses, situated on the outskirts of Thetford Forest. The village boasts a well-maintained infrastructure including a church, schools, a public house, sports facilities, shops and various amenities. It enjoys convenient access to the road network linking it to Ely and Cambridge in the South, Kings Lynn in the North, and Downham Market, Swaffham and Thetford in the East and West. Additionally, the Suffolk market town of Brandon is about 7 miles away from Methwold.
The property, believed to date back to the 1700s, is of chalk lump construction, boasting an attractive façade in line with similar period properties in the village. Deceptively spacious, it offers over 1800 sqft of versatile accommodation. Following a significant renovation, the house has been modernised to a high specification and now impeccably presented. The ground floor features well-proportioned rooms, including two reception rooms and standout brand new kitchen offering open plan living with dining area. The utility room matches the kitchen's high finish. A large cellar, also modernised, provides ample storage below. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously sized, with the principal bedroom featuring luxurious en-suite facilities. Full renovations have encompassed a full re-wire, new heating system and having building control certification.
The gardens to the front feature an attractive stone wall boundary, lawn area, and a paved pathway leading to the front door adorned with a wooden-framed porch. In the rear, the gardens have been landscaped with easy maintenance in mind, offering excellent space for alfresco dining due to a westerly aspect. The area includes Indian sandstone paving and a raised decking section, with gate to rear.
