A rare Grade II listed Gothic Revival cottage tucked away in sought-after Horstead, moments from the River Bure and village pubs. The fairytale façade, arched windows and blue shutters give exceptional kerb appeal, while mature cottage gardens and a traditional flint wall provide privacy and seasonal colour.
Sympathetically extended in the 1990s, the house offers flexible, family-friendly accommodation: four bedrooms, five reception rooms, two kitchens and three bathrooms. Thick original 18th-century walls give natural thermal comfort year-round, and two inglenook fireplaces add genuine period character. A working well and pump is an unusual, eye-catching historic feature.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate upgrades; some exterior paintwork appears worn and will need maintenance. Broadband speeds are reported slow and there is no current EPC rating. The large plot, garage and driveway are strengths for families or multigenerational buyers seeking flexible space in a peaceful village setting.
