Set on a large plot in a peaceful hamlet, this extended thatched bungalow offers spacious single-storey living for families wanting country calm with easy access to Norwich. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite while two further double bedrooms and a modern family shower room give flexible space for guests or a home office. The sitting room is the heart of the home with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a cast-iron wood burner; French doors open onto a south-facing paved terrace and an expansive lawn with panoramic field views.
Practical features include a detached garage, separate workshop and a wide hardstanding driveway providing generous parking. The kitchen and adjoining utility provide everyday functionality; many character features have been retained, including a traditional thatch roof and solid brick walls that contribute to the cottage’s charm and authenticity.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired (not on a community supply) and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect working from home. The property’s solid brick construction is assumed to lack cavity insulation and the thatched roof will require specialist maintenance and periodic renewal. These are normal for a period cottage and present both maintenance responsibilities and opportunities for targeted improvement.
Located in an established farming community close to Little Plumstead and within commuting distance of Norwich, the house suits families or downsizers seeking rural character with nearby schools and countryside walking routes. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and potential of this unique detached home.
