Three bedrooms, principal with en-suite and underfloor heating
A charming three-bedroom chocolate-box cottage set in the peaceful village of Wood Dalling, ideal for families seeking a rural retreat within reach of Norwich. The house combines period features—exposed beams, brick fireplaces and an oak staircase—with high-quality modern finishes including a quartz-topped kitchen, Karndean flooring and underfloor heating in the bathrooms.
Living is versatile: two reception rooms linked by a double-sided woodburner create cosy, sociable space, while the large kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom support day-to-day family life. Outside, a south-facing front garden, private rear courtyard with raised beds and a substantial plot give plenty of outdoor options. A detached insulated studio/hobby room, wood store, workshop and double carport add practical space for hobbies and storage.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler and sits in a solid-brick pre-1900 construction where wall insulation is assumed absent, so running costs and potential insulation upgrades are worth budgeting for. The property occupies a remote hamlet location; broadband is fast but mobile signal is average, and access to wider services requires short drives to nearby villages and Aylsham.
Overall this cottage offers characterful rural living, strong versatility for home-working or creative uses, and substantial outdoor space. It will suit buyers who prioritise village tranquillity, period charm and a ready-to-enjoy interior, but who are comfortable managing oil heating and planning any insulation improvements.
