A rare opportunity to acquire three fully refurbished Grade 2 listed cottages via the modern method of auction has come up in East Bilney, near Dereham.
The Almshouses are available for a starting bid of £430,000 with The Norfolk Agents, and are available fully furnished by negotiation. The online auction of the property will end at 1pm on February 28, at which point the winning bidder will be able to exchange on the properties and complete the purchase.
Each cottage has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment in recent years and now boasts a uniquely designed interior reflecting a different period in British history, an allocated car parking space and further parking for another vehicle, plus LPG-fired central heating.

The Norfolk Agents said that these properties would make an ideal turnkey investment for long-term letting or holiday rental, but could also have the potential to become one home, with an annexe alongside.
Each of the cosy cottages has been designed and furnished to an individual theme, and encompasses an open-plan living area and dining space, one bathroom, two bedrooms in two of the cottages and one in the third.
Character features are found throughout, such as exposed beams, ledged doors, open fireplaces and ornate brick porches to the front of each property.
The kitchens all include an oven and electric hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and Belfast sink, while the bathrooms in two of the properties feature underfloor heating, a rainfall walk-in shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail. The one-bedroom middle cottage has a bath, underfloor heating, WC and wash basin in its bathroom.

The bedrooms, accessed from the living areas are all doubles and some have doors to a rear courtyard. All three cottages also enjoy shared use of the neatly maintained private gardens and a row of outbuildings including a sauna, laundry room, shed and shower room.
East Bilney is located in the heart of the Norfolk countryside with good access to a variety of walks, activities and attractions such as Sandringham House. The village is five miles away from Dereham and seven miles from Fakenham, both of which offer plenty of amenities.
