This two-bed period cottage in mid-Norfolk is on the market with Sowerbys for £395,000.

Erwin Cottage, a Grade II listed home, is believed to date back to 1750 and possibly earlier. It is on the end of a set of three cottages that were once one house.

The current owners restored the house with a "no expense spared" approach, retaining period features and adding a rear extension.

The home is entered through the snug, which has an original inglenook fireplace with a log burner and flagstone flooring.
