Grade II listed Bawburgh cottage on sale at £475k-500k guide

This is the first time that Church Cottage has been up for sale since the 1930s. 

“The property has endless potential, including converting the large, detached outbuilding into further living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permission,” said selling agent Russen & Hill. 

The agent will be holding an open day at the property on Sunday, July 14, with appointments available between 11am and 1pm. This will be a chance to find out more about the property, which once housed a fish and chip shop in the detached outbuilding. 

The three-bedroom property is entered via a porch which leads to the spacious sitting room, with exposed beams and open, red brick fireplace.

In the grounds, there’s a detached brick-built building once used to smoke fish for the fish and chip shop, which was in the split-level detached workshop.  

Today you have to go a little further in Bawburgh for fish and chips – the dish is on the menu at award-winning gastropub the Kings Head. 

The village, which is seven miles from Norwich city centre, is also home to a church, village hall, school and golf club.
