A Grade II-listed thatched cottage has come up for sale in a village near Wymondham.

Forge Cottage is tucked away in Bracon Ash and sits on a large, leafy plot surrounded by lawns and plenty of foliage. 

An old village forge and a Victorian schoolhouse share the land but will require extensive work to be returned to their original state.

Savills is marketing it with a guide price of £500,000 and there is no chain.

Tom Clayton, an associate in the residential sales team at Savills, said: “In the same ownership for more than 40 years and sitting on a generous plot with plenty of character, Forge Cottage is one of only two thatched properties in the village.

"Comprising a Grade II-listed main house alongside an old village forge and a former Victorian schoolhouse – both of which now require significant work – it offers incredible potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions.”
