For Sale
"A sensational renovation of an extraordinary thatched cottage standing proud in a superb plot garden plot amongst rolling Norfolk countryside."
The Property
Standing proud in a mature plot amongst rolling Norfolk countryside, Poachers Cottage has undergone an inspired schedule of renovation and now sits firmly as one of the finest period cottages to be found in the area. The deceptively spacious accommodation has been masterfully restored with a wealth of period features preserved and woven into a home boasting magazine-worthy interiors and a subtle modernity. Open-plan spaces are well balanced by traditional receptions to provide a home that offers the flexibility required to accompany a modern way of living without for a moment compromising on the unmistakable embrace of a quintessential period cottage.
The central snug provides the anchor point to the ground floor accommodation whilst the exposed original wall timbers serve as a gentle threshold to the kitchen/dining room giving a subtle definition amongst the sociable layout. A bespoke kitchen graces this end of the home with an expansive solid oak worktop bathing in natural light from the double doors leading to the garden. Ample space for a large breakfast bar island makes this a real hub for entertaining and family life whilst a further area for dining comfortably houses a six seater dining table. The formal sitting room brings perfect balance to the open-plan nature of the kitchen/dining room with the embracing proportions one would hope for from a true period home; exposed ceiling timbers, stripped wooden floorboards, of course a showpiece inglenook fireplace and even the original bread oven.
A handy utility area provides space for white goods whilst the adjoining bath/shower enjoys masterfully curated interiors and injects all important practicality.
The first floor is home to three attractive bedrooms, including the impressive principal bedroom boasting all the drama of a vaulted ceiling and, of course, far reaching countryside views. The two further bedrooms are comfortable doubles and are well served by the central family shower room to the first floor.
Externally
As with any timeless home, the property itself is only half the story. The grounds of Poachers Cottage are a fine addition to such an established home and their mature nature sets a timeless environment for the property to enjoy.
The gardens have been lovingly curated to offer an abundance of features, sure to please all the family and provide all ages with a sanctuary to enjoy. Sheltered corners offer picturesque hideaways to grab a quiet moment whilst a manicured lawn pulls together all the terraces, interspersed with many a thriving flower bed. The large workshop is an excellent addition adding yet more versatility to a home that already offers far more than meets the eye.
