The Street, Bergh Apton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15

Constructed of traditional Norfolk red brick and dating from circa 1850, this enchanting mid-terrace period cottage is a home of genuine authenticity and enduring appeal.

Beautifully maintained and presented in excellent decorative order, it effortlessly marries heritage character with considered modern upgrades, creating a residence of warmth, refinement and timeless style.

The handsome red-brick façade immediately sets the tone, while inside the cottage reveals interiors rich in period styling and thoughtful detailing. The sitting room is an inviting and elegant space, centred around a cast iron wood burner that brings both visual charm and comforting warmth. The stunning shaker style kitchen flows as one with the dining room, where French doors open gracefully onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the space and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, the principal suite featuring a charming original cast iron fireplace and a built-in double wardrobe. A well-proportioned family bathroom, thoughtfully appointed with both a bath and a separate shower, completes the accommodation found to the first floor.

Original features have been carefully preserved throughout and all rooms are complemented by characterful cottage-style doors, continuing the home’s cohesive period charm throughout. Complementing the period aesthetic are double-glazed cottage-style windows, and a replacement boiler fitted approximately two years ago, ensuring efficient and reliable heating and hot water via the oil-fired system.

Extending to approximately 861 sq. ft., the accommodation feels both intimate and beautifully balanced, with each room thoughtfully arranged to maximise comfort and practicality while maintaining its historic charm.

To the rear, the generous garden of approximately 100ft (STM) provides a delightful and private outdoor sanctuary. Beyond the main lawn and patio area lies a separate section at the rear boundary, formerly used by previous owners for chickens and a productive kitchen garden, a charming and versatile space ideal for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle or simply wishing to cultivate their own vegetables and flowers.

A particular feature of distinction is the original two-storey brick-built outbuilding, constructed to complement the cottage itself Circa 1750. Rich in character and increasingly rare, this substantial structure offers exceptional potential as a studio, workshop, home office or possible annexe (subject to the necessary consents). A bespoke outside utility room further enhances the practicality of the outdoor space.
