Description

Once part of the historic Felbrigg Hall Estate and dating back to around 1750, this exquisite Brick & Flint cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored slice of Norfolk’s heritage — just a walk away via footpaths from Felbrigg Hall itself. Lovingly renovated over the last decade, the property blends period character with modern comfort. Key structural upgrades include a completely new roof in 2012 with new trusses, battens, felt and handmade heritage tiles — all signed off — as well as full rewiring (with certificate), replumbing, and a serviced LPG boiler that’s barely been used due to the home being a holiday let. A full gas radiator system has been installed with new piping and radiators in all rooms, plus an electric towel rail in the bathroom. Inside, the charm is endless: handmade Norfolk pamment tiles laid over an insulated limecrete floor (with foamed glass beneath) in the sitting room, reclaimed schoolhouse flooring in the kitchen, and hand-built kitchen units with solid wood worktops. The kitchen also boasts an exposed original flint wall, vintage stable door, and integrated appliances including an electric cooker, washing machine and fridge. The lounge/diner is a cosy haven with original oak beams, a grand Inglenook fireplace, and a powerful 9kW wood burner that can heat the entire house when the doors are open. Witch marks etched into the oak bressumer beam nod to the home's intriguing past. Upstairs features new floor supports and wood flooring, two double bedrooms, and a stylish Jack & Jill bathroom with a full suite, vintage sink, and mixer shower over bath. Throughout the home you’ll find lime-rich plaster, original doors, and timeless attention to detail. Outside, enjoy two distinct garden areas with lawns and colourful flower borders — perfect for peaceful mornings or al fresco dining. A truly enchanting period home, modernised with care and craftsmanship rarely found.
