Set within just over five acres of paddocks, orchard and an arena, this sympathetically restored thatched cottage blends period character with modern comfort. The main house provides five bedrooms, principal and guest en-suites, three reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room with an electric range and wood burner — all finished to a high standard with exposed beams, fireplaces and leaded windows.
The estate suits families or equestrian buyers seeking ready-to-use facilities: three stables, fenced paddocks and a riding arena, plus a large wooden cabin offering three-bedroom secondary accommodation. A substantial workshop with three storage rooms above presents genuine scope for conversion or hobby use, enhancing long-term potential.
Practical points are straightforward and important. The property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and may require Listed Building Consent. Heating is oil-fired to radiators, the thatch and listing mean specialist maintenance, and council tax is above average. Energy performance is a respectable C following the recent renovation.
In short, this is a character-rich family home and working smallholding in an affluent, low-crime village setting a few miles from Norwich. It will particularly suit buyers who value outdoor space, equestrian use and historic charm, and who accept the ongoing responsibilities of listed, thatched properties.
