Set in the quiet hamlet of Short Green, this Grade II thatched cottage offers classic Norfolk character across a generous plot backing onto open fields. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace with an oil-fired burner and dormer windows create a cosy, period interior while a conservatory brings light and garden views. A self-contained annex with kitchenette, shower and double bedroom adds practical flexibility for guests or potential rental income.
Practical features include driveway parking for several cars, a garage and fast broadband in a rural setting. The property is offered freehold with approximately 1,730 sq ft of accommodation and around ten rooms across multiple storeys. The large rear garden and countryside outlook are clear selling points for buyers seeking privacy and outdoor space.
Important practical notes: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs; the thatched roof and period fabric require ongoing maintenance and appropriate specialist work. Heating is oil-fired, which can mean higher running costs and periodic oil deliveries. The living room has characterful low ceilings in parts, which may not suit all buyers.
This home will suit purchasers seeking a characterful period property and rural lifestyle—families who value outdoor space, or buyers wanting an income stream from the annex. It is less suitable for those wanting a low-maintenance, modern finish or buyers planning major remodelling due to listed-status constraints.
