Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this charming 3/4 bedroom traditional Norfolk cottage is a rare blend of character, space and smallholding potential. Built in classic carstone and brick, the home sits beautifully within its land and enjoys direct access to nearby bridleways — a dream for equestrian and countryside enthusiasts alike.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a wonderfully versatile layout. The ground floor offers multiple reception rooms, including a cosy lounge, a family/dining room, a light-filled conservatory, and a large kitchen/breakfast room ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A study or fourth bedroom provides flexibility for home working or multigenerational living, complemented by a WC and separate utility room.
Upstairs, the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, all continuing the home’s warm, traditional feel. Throughout the property you’ll find original features, log burners, and Victorian fireplaces, adding character and charm at every turn.
Outside, the lifestyle offering truly shines. The property includes two stable blocks, a small paddock, and a field shelter, all fully licensed with the local authority and benefiting from a smallholding number. Previous owners have successfully kept pigs, goats and chickens, making this an ideal setup for those seeking a self-sufficient or hobby-farming lifestyle.
At the bottom of the paddock sits a shepherd hut pitch, currently used as a small business opportunity (the hut itself available by separate negotiation). Whether continued as an income-generating venture or transformed into beautiful guest accommodation, it adds a unique and flexible dimension to the property.
The well-stocked country garden is a haven in its own right, featuring mature fruit trees, a large pond, and multiple decking areas perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply soaking up the tranquil surroundings. With off-road hacking directly accessible and Forest Edge Arena just 20 minutes away, the location is superb for equestrian pursuits while remaining conveniently connected.
If you’re searching for a characterful countryside home with land, income potential and genuine lifestyle appeal, this exceptional Norfolk cottage deserves your attention. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything on offer.
