DESCRIPTION

Pheasant Cottage is a beautifully presented three-bedroom brick and flint home, set in the picturesque village of Gunthorpe. The property enjoys far-reaching views over open countryside and is complemented by a delightful, well-tended garden.

Finished to a high standard throughout, this charming cottage offers an ideal permanent residence or an idyllic country retreat.
Perfectly positioned, it is just a short drive from the stunning North Norfolk coast at Blakeney and the bustling market town of Holt, making it a home that truly combines rural tranquillity with convenient access to local amenities.

Built in 1989, this attractive cottage has been thoughtfully designed with generously proportioned rooms that capture natural light and showcase the beautiful open countryside views.

From the half-glazed front door, you step into a spacious entrance hall with a tiled floor and painted wooden staircase leading to the first floor. To the left lies the dual-aspect east–west kitchen and dining room. The kitchen, positioned at the rear of the house, is immaculately presented with cream shaker-style cabinetry, dark granite worktops, and a classic butler’s sink. Integrated Neff appliances include an oven, dishwasher, induction hob, and extractor.

A small island, with additional cupboards and shelving beneath a wooden worktop, provides both practicality and charm.

Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility/boot room with access to the garden, fitted with space for coats and boots as well as housing the washing machine and tumble dryer. A useful downstairs WC with a hand basin is also situated next door. A terracotta tiled floor runs seamlessly through the hall, kitchen, and utility.

Turning right from the hall leads to the sitting room, a well-proportioned space featuring French doors that open onto the garden.

A front-facing window frames picturesque views across open countryside towards St Mary’s Church. The room is enhanced by built-in bookshelves and an attractive brick fireplace with log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each with delightful outlooks. The main bedroom is a large, light-filled double with dual east–west aspects and an en suite shower room with Mira electric shower. The second bedroom is a double with an east-facing window and built-in storage, while the third is a charming single.

A family bathroom, with white sanitaryware, tongue-and-groove panelling, and a bath with shower fitting, also includes a useful airing cupboard.

A delightful painted wooden shed, complete with electricity, offers versatility as a home office or creative studio. In addition, a covered log store provides convenient additional storage.
