Description

A quintessential Norfolk red brick village cottage, full of original charm and nestled in a quiet no-through lane in the heart of this highly favoured south city village.

Dating back to the 1890s, this immaculately presented period cottage is an exceptional example of classic country living. Thoughtfully maintained and sympathetically improved, the property offers a perfect blend of rustic character and tasteful modernisation.

Set back from the road with a gravelled driveway providing parking for two vehicles, the home opens via a charming porch entrance, complete with a traditional brass pull bell, welcoming you into a delightful interior rich in detail.

Step inside to discover a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, cottage-style latch doors, a striking inglenook fireplace with pamment tiled hearth and cast iron wood burner, and a beautiful hemp rope balustrade leading to the upper level. The cottage-style kitchen is brimming with charm and functionality, while the high-quality shower room boasts a contemporary edge, featuring a Japanese-style toilet for a touch of luxury.

Upstairs, the original first-floor feature fireplace serves as a focal point, adding warmth and character to a peaceful retreat.

The outside space is truly outstanding: a classic country cottage garden, extending to approximately 105ft STMS, invites you to meander through lavender borders, natural grasses, and under a wrought iron arch framing breathtaking views of open Norfolk arable fields. An elevated patio seating area provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining and evening sunsets. Additional features include an attractive red brick wood store and apple trees, adding to the tranquil country atmosphere.

Located on a peaceful no-through road in Rockland St Mary—still retaining a shop, pub, and primary school—the village also offers access to Rockland Staithe and Broad, making it an ideal gateway to the Broads National Park and the surrounding rolling Norfolk countryside.

Currently operating as a successful holiday let (Airbnb), the cottage offers versatile appeal, whether as a traditional escape to the country, a stylish first-time home, or an attractive downsize opportunity.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a picture-perfect cottage in one of Norfolk’s most sought-after village settings.

Rockland St Mary offers easy access to unspoilt countryside, the Norfolk Broads and to the city of Norwich. It’s perfect for dog walking, cycling and relaxing strolls. And, its proximity to Rockland Staithe, the River Yare and The Broads means you can also enjoy boating and birdwatching at your leisure.

The New Inn is a classic village pub, that serves good food and great beer. It’s friendly, cosy and just a stone’s throw from this property. There is also a quaint Primary School as well as the Heathgate Medical Practice within Rockland St Mary.

The village Post Office & Store is also within easy reach, so you can pick up all your small essentials without leaving the village. For your big shop, there’s a Tesco Superstore just 20 minutes away by car.
