'Thatch Cottage' is a charming and characterful home, which is set within approximately 0.4 acres (STMS) of delightfully landscaped grounds in the heart of some of the most picturesque mid-Norfolk countryside.

This delightful cottage is situated on the periphery of the desirable village of Great Fransham, offering a perfect blend of rural tranquillity and convenient ease of access to all that Norfolk has to offer, with good links to the A47 and nearby historic market towns of Dereham and Swaffham.
Entering the property, you'll immediately be struck by its warmth and charm, the traditional thatched roof adding an unmistakably picturesque touch to this country home.

Stunning beams and timbers are a strong feature, but also an excellent light and airy feel is present throughout the cottage with dual aspects to most of the accommodation.

The ground floor provides ample living space for entertaining and relaxation, with a welcoming sitting room featuring a cosy fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, a separate dining room with a stand-out inglenook fireplace, and a study/snug, which could be used as a home office or even an additional bedroom.

The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home and has been designed with style and practicality in mind. It provides a bright and inviting space with a range of appliances, bespoke cabinetry with an expanse of granite work-surfaces, and a range cooker to facilitate the creation of delicious meals to enjoy with family and friends. Off the kitchen is a convenient utility room, which leads to the family bathroom. The bathroom is tastefully designed, has underfloor heating, and features a luxurious spa bath and separate shower.

On the first floor, three generous bedrooms offer ample space, light, and comfort. The principal bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling, creating an excellent feeling of space, as is the second bedroom, which provides picturesque views of the garden.

The stunning, landscaped gardens envelop the property and extend to approximately 0.4 acres (STMS), creating a peaceful haven in which to relax, unwind, and entertain whilst overlooking the paddocks to the rear.

The triple garage, finished with a bonded resin floor, provides ample parking and storage space, with the driveway providing additional parking for guests.

Surrounded by majestic gardens, 'Thatch Cottage' is a charming and characterful property, which combines traditional features with a modern living space, making it the perfect home.
