Charming Pink Cottage with Historical Significance Hits the Market
In the picturesque town of Southburgh, Norfolk, a unique property known as Willow Farm is now up for sale, offering a blend of history and modernity. With its distinct pink exterior and thatched roof, this four-bedroom detached home is sure to catch the eye of any potential buyer.
The property, which dates back to the 16th century, boasts a rich history, with a rare 'Cheese Room' tax sign dating back to 1696. This sign is a testament to the property's connection to the dairy industry, a tradition that was once common in the north of England.
The Cheese Room, a historical storage space for cheese, is a cellar-like room that reflects the property's original use in the dairy economy. These rooms were essential for the storage and aging of cheese, highlighting the economic and cultural significance of cheese production and trade in the area.
While the property has seen modern additions in the 19th and 20th centuries, its interiors have been tastefully updated to be bright, welcoming, and modern, while respecting the property's character. The property offers two acres of gardens and grounds, consisting of a mix of lawned areas and wild meadow, providing privacy thanks to the trees that border the gardens.
Located on the outskirts of Southburgh, the property is conveniently situated 15 miles from the city of Norwich. For those with a passion for motoring or travel, the property's location offers easy access to various destinations, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.
