Summary - Tacolneston NR16 1BY
4 bed 1 bath Cottage
Extended historic home with large gardens and oak garden room.
Four bedrooms across 1,486 sq ft of characterful living space
Manor Cottage is a rare Grade II listed family home with origins in the 1500s, thoughtfully extended and renovated to marry period character with modern living. The house offers four bedrooms across 1,486 sq ft, generous landscaped gardens of about 0.2 acre, a double garage with utility/boot room, and a striking oak-framed garden room that brings the outside in. Original features — exposed beams, brick floors and impressive fireplaces — remain intact and are a dominant charm of the home.
The layout suits family life: two reception rooms plus the garden room provide flexible living and entertaining space, while the kitchen is central to daily use. The plot includes a large pond and bog garden with a mini bridge, mature shrubs, a herb garden and bushy borders, creating privacy and plenty of outdoor interest for gardeners and children.
Practical points are clear: there is one main family bathroom and a first-floor cloakroom only, so a growing family may wish to reconfigure or add facilities. As a Grade II listed property, any alterations will need listed-building consent and may limit some modernisation options. The property has been newly renovated throughout, but listed status means maintenance and repairs should be planned with specialist materials and permissions.
Set in a peaceful village environment with good local schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, this cottage will suit buyers seeking an established countryside lifestyle with character and outdoor space. The home is freehold, in Council Tax band D, and benefits from no flood risk.
