Description
A rare opportunity to acquire an immaculate and recently extended detached family home situated on a large corner plot in a prime part of the town, with the benefits of off road parking for two cars, garage and a south facing garden.
Elm Cottage is a truly exceptional double fronted Edwardian house, one of the very few detached properties in the heart of the town with parking for two cars, in addition to a garage and a delightful South facing garden.
The 4-bedroom house has been the subject of a major upgrade in recent years which included extensions of the south and east elevations. It offers excellent family accommodation with well-proportioned rooms with an abundance of character and period features. There are currently two large reception rooms with the large bedroom 4 offering further potential as another sitting room/study, games room or separate accommodation if you wished to do holiday lets.
It is important to emphasise there are only a handful of properties within this picturesque and historic harbour town which can offer parking facilities and these rarely come on to the market. Elm Cottage has been in the same family ownership for decades and was professionally upgraded by local builder of high repute which has delivered an impressive house presented as a turn-key offering, with no works required. The house is positioned on the corner of sought after, Ommanney Road & Baskets Lane, that are fashionable parts of this historic harbour town.
The shops and ferry terminal are within five minutes flat walking distance, making this an ideal family, retirement or holiday home. Yarmouth is an unspoilt gem, that is increasing in popularity because of its excellent and varied sailing facilities, surrounding countryside of Outstanding Natural Beauty nearby, unspoilt beaches and easy access to London via the Yarmouth to Lymington ferry crossing and onward train connections to Waterloo.
