Summary - NORTHCOTE THE STREET BUNWELL NORWICH NR16 1NA
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Grade II listed 3-bed cottage on 0.99-acre plot with stables and paddock — ideal for equestrian living.
Grade II listed cottage with strong period character
Set on almost one acre in the quiet village of Bunwell, this Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage offers rare equestrian facilities and abundant period character. Exposed beams, two wood burners and separate lounge and dining rooms create cosy living spaces; tall rooms and multiple receptions suit family life or home working. The site includes two stables, a tack room, store and a double open cart lodge with direct access to the fenced paddock.
The house is substantial (about 2,449 sq ft) with a practical layout: country kitchen, utility and ground-floor bathroom, separate study and two staircases giving access to bedrooms and the first-floor bathroom. Off-street parking from a shingle drive and quiet rural views complete the setting. Broadband speeds are recorded as fast and local crime levels are very low, making the plot appealing for families or equestrian buyers who need connectivity and security.
There are important constraints to note. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repair work or insulation improvements. The timber-frame construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the property uses an oil-fired boiler for heating — both factors to consider for running costs and retrofit work. Council tax is above average. Buyers should expect some maintenance and specialist listed-building repairs.
This is a strong opportunity for someone seeking a character home with usable land and stabling: ideal for a small horse-owning household or buyers who value rural privacy and period detail. With planning care and listed-building guidance, the plot and outbuildings offer scope to adapt equestrian facilities and improve energy performance where permitted.
