Historic Grade II Listed Cottage in the Heart of Harrold

Positioned at the edge of Harrold’s picturesque village green, Caleb’s Cottage is a charming and spacious Grade II listed home, dating back to the 1600s, that blends period charm with stylish decor. Constructed from local stone and topped with a traditional thatched roof, the property is steeped in character, with exposed wooden beams, open fireplaces, and original stone walls throughout.

Ground Floor – Bright & Characterful

A cosy entrance hallway provides a warm welcome into the property, leading conveniently into the main living areas and downstairs cloakroom. The spacious sitting room offers a light-filled space that’s perfect for relaxing, with French doors leading to the rear garden and west-facing windows to the front that overlook the green. An original stone fireplace completes the homely atmosphere. The dining room features an impressive inglenook fireplace with ample space for a large dining table, creating the perfect space for family dining and year-round entertaining. Completing the ground floor is the charming kitchen - a cottage-style space featuring shaker cabinets, solid oak worktops, tiled flooring, and exposed beams. Two pantry/utility spaces provide ample additional storage space, while garden access adds to the bright, airy feel.

First Floor – Cosy Rooms & Village Views

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is impressively sized for a cottage of this era, featuring an en-suite shower room and windows to both the front and back. This bedroom is accessed through a separate study with speedy internet connection - perfect for remote working or as a dedicated dressing room. The second bedroom is also a generous size, providing flexible accommodation for family or guests. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outdoor Living – A Tranquil Courtyard Setting

The courtyard garden has been carefully transformed into a sun-filled retreat, ideal for relaxed summer evenings or growing herbs and vegetables. Though compact, it functions as an outdoor room, perfect for both play and entertaining. A generous outbuilding can be accessed through the courtyard, which offers a versatile additional space for storage and the opportunity to be converted into a home office or studio. While the property doesn’t include allocated parking, residents benefit from unrestricted parking across the green or near local businesses.
