Farm Cottage is a Grade II Listed 17th-century thatched cottage combining genuine period charm with practical outbuildings, set in a peaceful hamlet on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Exposed timbers, mullioned windows, a historic bread oven and original fireplaces give strong character while the layout remains useable for modern living.
The main house provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms with flexible reception rooms, and a separate self-contained studio/annexe above the double garage ideal for guests, home working, or rental income. A south-facing slate terrace and established gardens of about 0.3 acres offer privacy, outdoor dining and productive fruit trees.
There are important practical considerations: the property is listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and insurance; heating is oil-fired with an LPG range, and double glazing was installed before 2002. Ceilings are characterfully low in places and the council tax band is noted as expensive.
For buyers seeking a peaceful countryside home with heritage and scope to adapt responsibly, Farm Cottage delivers period atmosphere, useful ancillary accommodation and a generous plot. Those requiring immediate modernisation or large-scale remodelling should factor in listed-building constraints and servicing costs.
