The Property
Apple Tree Cottage is a charming traditional brick and flint semi detached
cottage in the middle of the picturesque village of Aylmerton.
The cottage offers well proportioned accommodation throughout with the
downstairs comprising a kitchen / dining room, two snugs, sitting room, a
music room with a full height ceiling and two downstairs loos. Upstairs there
are two double bedrooms; the principal bedroom has an ensuite with a bath and
walk in shower and there is also a family bathroom and two rooms in the eaves,
which are currently used for clothes storage and a children's playroom.
Outside there is a workshop/garage, parking for two cars and garden laid to
lawn at the front with fruit trees and borders and a generously sized paved
garden to the side.
The interior of Apple Tree Cottage has plenty of character features such as
beams throughout, exposed brickwork, two inglenook fireplaces, wood burning
stoves in the sitting room and both snugs and two staircases, one leading from
the kitchen and the other leading from the sitting room. The kitchen has
direct access to the garden and is cosy, bright and spacious with top and
bottom fitted wooden units, integrated dishwasher and wooden worktop. There is
also a traditional woodburning cooker within an inglenook fireplace with a
magnificent beam over and plenty of room for a large dining table. The kitchen
leads through to the snug, with access to the downstairs loo and a door out to
the front garden. This snug has a woodburning stove in the corner and leads to
a cosy room, which could be used as a study and straight through to the
sitting room, with a door leading out to the garden at the side. The sitting
room oozes character with the beams, exposed brickwork and an inglenook
fireplace with a woodburning stove. The fabulous music room leads off the
sitting room and has a full height ceiling and fireplace. A utility room and
loo off the music room lead out to the lovely garden.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is access from the staircase leading from the
kitchen. It is a pretty bedroom, flooded with light and two windows
overlooking the side garden and with an ensuite bathroom with loo, hand wash
basin, bath and walk in shower. The bedroom leads through to a room, which the
current owner uses as clothes storage and through to another room, which is
set up as a playroom. The second bedroom is also a double with a staircase
leading down to the kitchen. There is a family bathroom with handwash basin,
loo and bath.
**Outside**
Apple Tree Cottage is approached via a gate off the lane, in the heart of
Aylmerton village. It is a quiet residential area with a real sense of
community amongst the neighbours.
There is a parking area to the side of the house in front of a wooden cladded
work shop and garage. This is accessible from the garden and front of the
property. The garage is divided into two sections, with room for a car in the
back at one level and at the front, a downstairs utility and loo and a
staircase up to a mezzanine.
The house has a very pretty good sized garden part laid to lawn with fruit
trees and well stocked borders and leads through to the paved area, with
further planted borders and trees. The paved part of the garden is directly
outside the sitting room, kitchen and music room and is perfect for the warmer
months, with plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as outdoor low
seating if you wish. It is the perfect cottage garden to relax with a book in
the sunshine.
Holiday Let Opportunity
Apple Tree Cottage is currently a main residence although could easily lend
itself to being a second home with potential to generate a second income as a
holiday let.
The unique character and layout of the property, village location and close
proximity to the coast and Felbrigg Estate make it the perfect base to explore
North Norfolk.

The Location
There are wonderful countryside walks from the doorstep, with the National
Trust property Felbrigg Hall and Park within walking distance, with glorious
woodlands.
Aylmerton is perfectly located and a short drive to Cromer and Sheringham,
both popular seaside towns, offering all the amenities you need. A variety of
supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, doctor surgeries (Cromer has a
small hospital providing outpatient and some A&E services) and train services
to Norwich are available in both towns. The popular Georgian market town of
Holt is a few miles away, with plenty of independent shops and galleries and
