"Peewit Cottage is an incredibly unique and special period home, tucked away within one of Bayfield’s most private and desirable locations."
The Property
Surrounded by mature trees and open aspects, the setting is truly idyllic, offering a rare sense of peace and seclusion. Approached via a private track, the cottage gradually emerges through the trees, revealing a quintessential Norfolk flint cottage – originally two cottages, now thoughtfully combined into one charming residence.
Set within a mature and beautifully established plot, the property is rich in character and perfectly suited for those seeking an authentic country cottage lifestyle. The main house offers two welcoming reception rooms, one centred around an open fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A traditional country-style kitchen with pantry further enhances the cottage’s charm and practicality.
On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, both served by the family bathroom, while the second floor reveals an unexpected and delightful surprise – an attic conversion providing a third bedroom alongside a useful storage room, ideal for hobbies, home working or additional accommodation needs. The vendors lovingly refer to this space as the ‘grandchildren’s room’, creating a charming bolt-hole away from their parents.
Throughout the cottage there is an abundance of original character and period features, making this a truly special home. Outside, the gardens are simply delightful – the epitome of a classic cottage garden. Enclosed by mature trees and hedging for privacy, the grounds are filled with established borders, patio seating areas and a variety of useful outbuildings.
Particularly noteworthy is the detached studio, offering the perfect creative retreat for an artist or potter, whilst also presenting exciting potential for ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. To the rear of the courtyard is a further useful outbuilding, currently utilised as a utility area.
An amazing opportunity to acquire a charming and highly individual home, surrounded by private estates on all sides and positioned within an exceptionally desirable setting.
