Set in the picturesque village of Brisley, Rose Cottage is a Grade II thatched home combining 17th‑century charm with generous modern living space. The property offers three well‑proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large main reception hall, arranged over substantial accommodation (2,131 sq ft) that sits within about 0.5 acres of mature gardens and grounds. A double garage, storeroom and ample driveway parking add practical convenience for family life.
Internally the cottage retains striking period features — exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a wood‑burning stove — creating characterful, cosy living spaces. The kitchen overlooks the garden and is accompanied by a separate utility room; there is one family bathroom and a ground‑floor WC. Planning permission has been granted for further additions, offering clear scope to increase living space or reconfigure rooms to suit contemporary family needs.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status will restrict some alterations and can add cost and lead time to works, and thatched roofs require specialist maintenance and insurance. Council tax is above average and there is only one bathroom serving three bedrooms, which may influence families seeking multiple en‑suite options. No EPC is required for this listed property.
For purchasers seeking a historic rural home with large gardens and further development potential, Rose Cottage presents an attractive balance of period character and amenity. Its remoter hamlet setting, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make it suitable for people wanting countryside privacy while staying connected to nearby market towns and the North Norfolk coast.
