- Two reception rooms with original fireplaces and character features
- Multiple outbuildings, detached garage, carport and garden room

Set on a generous 0.28-acre plot in private village surroundings, this traditional Norfolk cottage combines period character with clear potential. Two reception rooms, a kitchen and utility sit alongside three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom — a compact, workable layout that invites modernising. The grounds include multiple outbuildings, a garage, carport and a garden room with wide field views, offering scope for hobby use, storage or extension (subject to planning).
The property is offered chain-free and benefits from LPG/dual-fuel heating and double glazing, but it does require renovation to bring it up to contemporary standards. The walls are likely uninsulated and some external and internal updating will be needed; buyers should budget for works and commission a full survey. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, while mobile signal is excellent — worth noting if remote working is important.
For purchasers seeking a character project or a rural family home with substantial outdoor space, this cottage is a rare find. Its private drive provides extensive parking and the large, mature garden creates a peaceful backdrop with far-reaching field views. The house sits close to Dereham and local schools, making it practical as well as picturesque.
This property will suit buyers looking to add value through refurbishment, extend (subject to consents), or simply create a cosy country base with excellent outdoor space. Important practical points — renovation needs, potential insulation upgrades, and slow broadband — are straightforward to plan for and reflect the property’s solid bones and sizable plot.
