Secluded village home near Sheringham with gardens and garage.
Parts of the cottage date back around 300 years, strong historic character
A picture-postcard brick-and-flint cottage with parts reportedly dating back around 300 years, set in a secluded hamlet close to the Norfolk coast. The house is presented with many period features — exposed beams, a substantial inglenook fireplace with a woodburner, oak internal doors and well-tended cottage gardens — giving instant character and cottage comfort.
The accommodation is versatile: three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a fitted shaker-style kitchen with modern appliances, a breakfast room/study and a ground-floor bedroom with dressing area and ensuite. Practical benefits include an attached single garage with power and light, off-road parking and a summer house with power that extends the usable outside space.
Buyers should note the essentials: heating is provided by oil-fired central heating, drainage is to a septic tank and broadband speeds are very slow. The property sits in a remote village context with low local services and an ageing demographic; this makes it peaceful and rural but less convenient for day-to-day connectivity. There is a medium flood risk recorded for the area.
This home will suit someone seeking character and a quiet coastal-adjacent location — ideal as a comfortable primary residence for a family or a well-equipped second home. It is immaculately presented but retains the practical considerations typical of a historic rural cottage, so buyers should be prepared for oil servicing, septic maintenance and limited digital connectivity.
