A fantastic opportunity to purchase a truly unique property. Brookview was formally known as the Carpenters arms in the1880s. It was situated on what was at one stage the main route for drovers bringing their livestock up from Norwich to sell at Swaffham and King's Lynn markets. The drovers would stop in for an 'Ale and a Mardle' and rest their livestock in the paddock next door, which is still attached to the property. The property was originally two cottages, the left was where the publican lived and the right was the ale house. The property was then changed to residential in 1953.

The ground floor accommodation comprises of a boot room, entrance hall, shower room and fitted kitchen with quartz worktops. There are two reception rooms which are being used as the living room & dining room both with wonderful exposed beams, gorgeous wooden flooring, and stunning brick built fireplaces with inset wood-burners, it's a cosy space to relax by the crackling fire. A recent addition to the property is the outdoor canopy providing a social and seating area which can be used all year round.

The wooden staircase takes you to the charming first floor which offers four bedrooms all with period features with a separate wc.

Outside there is a large garden stretching to just over half an acre (stms), which has been cleverly divided to include a paddock area, perfect for chickens or geese. There is a wild garden with the remaining rear garden stocked with an oasis of flowers, shrubs and mature trees. The garden has been fitted with a modern timber built pod, a perfect addition to the outdoor space, suitable for many uses.

Solar panels have been fitted, which feeds into a battery storage for the house and any excess feeds back into the grid. New windows provide extra insulation, and a very energy efficient air source heat pump heats the home.
