This charming semi-detached character cottage occupies generous grounds within a uniquely peaceful location on the outskirts of the mid-Norfolk village of Garvestone. The cottage itself has been substantially extended and remodelled by the current owners and is abound with character and charming features yet enjoys an excellent degree of flexibility throughout the accommodation, having been extended and improved.

It could almost be said that the home itself is not the main attraction here, with the most delightful gardens providing a serene backdrop – a true haven for keen gardeners and wildlife alike! The grounds extend to approximately 0.6 acres (stms) and include formal gardens, planted beds, a wildlife garden with pond, a woodland, vegetable garden, fruit enclosures, a delightful summer house, sheds, glass houses, a raised platform to enjoy views over the surrounding countryside, and even a choice of two tucked away home office options.

The striking façade of the property is exposed Norfolk red-brick and has been extended both to the side and rear elevations with a garden room and a ground floor bedroom furthering the versatility of the home. In brief, the accommodation comprises sitting room, garden room, dining room, kitchen, utility, and bathroom, as well as the ground floor bedroom with adjoining shower room on the ground floor. Whilst the first floor enjoys two double bedrooms accessed from the landing.

The property has been beautifully maintained and is found in excellent decorative order throughout, whilst the main home has even benefited from a replacement roof in the most recent of times.
