Description

Georgian gem in sought-after village

Description

Nestled in the charming and sought-after village of Somerleyton, The Rosery is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian family home, epitomizing elegance and historic charm. With its mellow red brick façade and impeccable proportions, this property is a lovely example of classic Georgian architecture.

Dating back to the early 1800s, The Rosery is believed to have been originally constructed for the brick fields manager of the esteemed Somerleyton Estate. As befitting his status at the time, impressive formal reception rooms and bedrooms were created to the front of the property offset by more informal cottage-style areas to the rear. The Rosery therefore reflects the grandeur and character befitting its heritage whilst offering modern comforts. It was sold away from the Estate in 1986 and has remained in the same private ownership since.

Upon entering the central hallway, The Rosery welcomes you with light-filled rooms and versatile living spaces. The formal sitting room boasts an attractive feature fireplace, high ceilings and sash windows with working shutters. It also provides access to a lovely garden room beyond which enjoys a double aspect. Across the hallway lies the elegant dining room with woodburner and French doors that lead seamlessly into the kitchen—a perfect setting for entertaining guests. The kitchen blends handcrafted wooden units with modern aluminium finishes, offering character and practicality, and features a delightful breakfast area overlooking the walled garden. The ground floor is completed by the essential utility room, cloakroom, and access to a well-organized cellar for storage. Ascending the charming staircase to the first floor, two spacious bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the lawned garden and pleached lime trees to the front of the house. Two further bedrooms and a sizeable four-piece family bathroom featuring a striking cast-iron bath with a perfect view of the rear garden completes the main house.

Outside
The Rosery is approached by a long gravel drive which sweeps past the lawn and house to provide parking for multiple cars with covered spaces and additional hard standing. Beyond the home lies a wonderful walled garden, designed to create distinct spaces for relaxation and entertaining. It features a sizeable terrace, bespoke pizza oven, pergola and raised beds that are filled with established shrubs and trees including a medlar, weeping pear and walnut. This area leads on to a useful store, a further courtyard and Coachman's Cottage—a fantastic two storey art studio that has significant potential for additional accommodation if required, subject to the usual consents.

During the current owner's custodianship, the grounds have taken many different forms including at one time having stunning topiary demarked walkways. The relatively recent creation of the walled garden has allowed the area beyond this to be utilised as a smallholding for livestock including goats and sheep. This area has a selection of temporary and permanent outbuildings specific to this use but could be removed and gardens reinstated if the next owner so desired. In all The Rosery has gardens and grounds of about 0.5 acres.

Location

Somerleyton is a picturesque village steeped in history and charm, located on the Norfolk/ Suffolk border. Renowned for its timeless appeal and tranquil setting, the village offers a quintessentially English countryside experience. The Somerleyton Estate sensitively farms surrounding countryside and at its heart lies Somerleyton Hall, a Victorian stately home in landscaped grounds. The village itself is characterized by a blend of historic homes around the attractive village green, and it enjoys a public house, scenic walking paths and access to the nearby Broads National Park. There is a popular primary school and a train station with services to Norwich.

The Cathedral city of Norwich, the regional centre of East Anglia, lies about 21 miles to the north. There are good sporting facilities available in the locality, in particular sailing and boating on the River Waveney which connects with the nearby River Yare, allowing access to the whole of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads network.
