A “gingerbread cottage” recognised as a place of local historic interest has gone on the market.

Gingerbread Cottage in Dereham was constructed using local Carrstone in the 1830s and features a brick extension.

The semi-detached property includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, making it suitable for guests, or even as a home office.
