Lemon Cottage is located in Suton, near Wymondham, and is described by selling agent Warners as a “charming property”, constructed of clay lump and brick skin and offering approximately 2,500 sq ft of accommodation in a plot of 0.83 of an acre (subject to measured survey).

Warners added: “Rich in character and featuring many original elements such as pantile roofing and pamment tiled flooring, this property has a unique historical appeal.”

The property previously comprised two separate cottages, but renovations and extensions to one side of the building have created the potential to convert into “an impressive four to five-bedroom family home”, an Airbnb or a rental, according to Warners.
