This 1827 Georgian cottage blends authentic period character with practical family living across about 1,076 sq ft. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace with a cast‑iron wood burner and original timberwork give the reception rooms a warm, rustic feel. The layout includes a separate dining room and a generous fitted kitchen, useful for everyday family life and entertaining.
There are three well‑proportioned bedrooms (two on the ground floor, one large first‑floor double) plus a ground‑floor shower room and an upstairs family bathroom. The landing is bright with skylights and offers space for a small study or reading nook. Double glazing is fitted throughout, but the property currently relies on oil‑fired central heating and has an EPC rating of E.
Outside, enclosed gardens include a lawned rear garden and a front patio on a large plot, and off‑road parking is available on a shared driveway. The cottage sits in a peaceful hamlet setting close to countryside footpaths and the Brisley Bell gastropub, with Dereham’s amenities within a short drive.
Important practical points: the property shares a septic tank with a neighbouring dwelling (periodic emptying charges apply), broadband speeds are reported as slow, and an oil boiler means running costs and future fuel arrangements should be considered. As a listed‑age property, routine maintenance and sympathetic updating may be needed to preserve character features.
