A three-bedroom period cottage in west Norfolk is up for sale via online auction at a guide price of £425,000.
Dating back 250 years, The Reading Room in Northwold was once a community venue adjacent to the “caretaker’s” cottage.
Selling agents Purplebricks say the semi-detached property has been “tastefully combined to create a characterful and spacious home, full of history and original features along with all the comforts of home”.
The main living area, originally the community venue, has a four-metre high ceiling, an impressive brick-built fireplace containing a woodburner, patio doors leading out to the rear garden and stairs leading to a mezzanine landing and master bedroom with ensuite.

Traditionally constructed from brick, chalk lump stone and flint, the property has been well-maintained by the current owners, who have also added a conservatory with a triple-glazed tinted roof.
Ground-floor accommodation comprises a reception hall, drawing room, utility room, shower room, dining room and kitchen, plus the conservatory.
The first floor is divided into two, with both areas accessed separately via a staircase in the main living space and dining room.
There are two further double bedrooms and a shower room within the original cottage section of the property.

The cottage has UPVC double glazing and oil central heating throughout, with the conservatory and master en suite having electric underfloor heating.
Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden is beautifully presented with lawn areas, a patio area, fruit trees and a timber-built summer house with power and light.
To the front, a gravel driveway accessed through double wooden gates leads to a single garage with power and lighting.
The Reading Room is being sold via online auction with a minimum opening bid of £425,000 and a scheduled end date of November 6 at 12pm. It is available with no onward chain.
