5 Pearsons Road, Holt, NR25

Tucked away down a quiet private loke just a short walk from Holt’s charming town centre, Rock Rose is a very pretty and beautifully presented cottage that offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience.

Steeped in history, Rock Rose was once Holt’s original workhouse—thoughtfully transformed over time into the warm and welcoming home it is today. With its roots deep in the town’s heritage, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history, while enjoying all the benefits of modern living.

Currently run as a highly successful holiday let, the property is offered chain free, with the option to be sold furnished by negotiation—making it an ideal turnkey investment, second home, or permanent residence.

Inside, the cottage boasts a sociable open-plan kitchen and dining area with all the charm of a traditional country kitchen. The cosy lounge, complete with a log burner, is the perfect place to unwind. A large, contemporary shower room on the ground floor adds a touch of modern luxury.

Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for families or guests.

Outside, there’s parking just outside the cottage, a courtyard garden to the front, and—across the lane—a ‘secret garden’: a wonderfully private outdoor space with a versatile studio, ideal as a home office, creative space, or garden retreat.

Homes with such rich heritage, a central yet peaceful location, and proven holiday let potential are incredibly rare. Rock Rose is a true Norfolk treasure, beautifully reimagined for modern life.
