This Grade II listed Tudor cottage dates from the late 1400s and offers a rare slice of history with genuine period features: an inglenook fireplace with bread oven, exposed Bessemer beam and timber framing. Set on about 0.22 acres (sts), the mature garden, outbuildings and an electrified treehouse provide an attractive, private setting overlooking neighbouring paddocks.
Internally the house is compact (approx. 785 sq ft) with flexible three- or four-bedroom accommodation across multiple levels and a single bathroom. The layout and low ceilings in places reflect its age; rooms are cosy rather than large. Practical benefits include full fibre broadband and double glazing installed before 2002.
Important practical considerations: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. Construction appears to have no insulated cavity and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler to radiators, so thermal upgrading will be needed to improve comfort and running costs. There is one bathroom only and the property will suit buyers happy to work within listing constraints rather than those seeking a turn-key modern home.
For the right buyer this is a distinctive character home in a sought-after village location with easy access to Norwich, major roads and local schools. It will particularly appeal to those seeking historic charm, garden space and a project to sympathetically maintain or update, rather than buyers requiring large contemporary living spaces immediately.
