Lemon Cottage is located in Suton, near Wymondham, and is described by selling agent Warners as a “charming property”, constructed of clay lump and brick skin and offering approximately 2,500 sq ft of accommodation in a plot of 0.83 of an acre (subject to measured survey).

Warners added: “Rich in character and featuring many original elements such as pantile roofing and pamment tiled flooring, this property has a unique historical appeal.”

The property previously comprised two separate cottages, but renovations and extensions to one side of the building have created the potential to convert into “an impressive four to five-bedroom family home”, an Airbnb or a rental, according to Warners.

Outside, Lemon Cottage sits on a generous plot that includes various timber outbuildings for storage or use as workshops, a large area of lawn and mature planting. A lean-to greenhouse/conservatory adjoins the main house.

The cottage is approached by a gravel drive from Suton Street, with a second entrance available further along. Included in the sale is a garage and an outbuilding carport.
