Rhubarb Cottage is a freshly renovated two-bedroom period cottage backing onto open farmland, offering almost 800 sq.ft. of well-presented living space. The 2023 refurbishment has left neutral decor, laminate floors and a modernised kitchen and bathroom, making it ready to move into.
The property benefits from a front cottage garden, enclosed rear lawn with paved terrace and a useful outbuilding — ideal for hobby storage or a studio. A wood-burning stove adds character and warmth while the village location provides countryside views, quiet streets and easy access to local walking routes and nearby estates such as Houghton Hall and Sandringham.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters (supplemented by the stove), and the house has solid brick walls presumed to have no insulation. Broadband speeds are slow locally, and the wider area is classified as relatively deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand. Council tax is low (Band A) and there is no flood risk.
This cottage will suit families or couples seeking a characterful, low-maintenance village home with immediate move-in condition and scope to improve energy efficiency over time. Its rural position, handy outbuilding and generous plot make it appealing to those who value space, countryside access and period charm.
