Upgate, Swannington, Norwich, Norfolk, NR9

Positioned within the idyllic rural setting of Upgate, overlooking the common to the front and open meadowland to the rear, this charming period cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy countryside living without compromise. Formed from the thoughtful conversion of two former cottages into one substantial home, the property seamlessly blends character features with generous proportions and modern comforts, creating a wonderfully versatile family residence.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s picturesque façade and peaceful surroundings set the tone for what lies within. Step inside and you are welcomed by an abundance of living space designed with both relaxation and practicality in mind. The sizeable main living room is rich in warmth and charm, centred around an inviting wood burner, the perfect focal point for cosy evenings.

At the heart of the home sits an impressive contemporary kitchen, beautifully appointed with ample storage and workspace, ideal for everyday family life or entertaining alike. A separate dining room provides a more formal setting for gatherings, while the recently added L-shaped garden room floods the space with natural light and frames stunning views across the garden and meadow beyond, effortlessly connecting inside and out.

Further enhancing the flexibility on offer, the former annexe now serves as an additional sitting room and study. This area could easily be reinstated as independent accommodation, making it ideal for multi-generational living, a dependent relative, or even guest space.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms lead off a central landing, each enjoying a peaceful outlook. A pristine family bathroom and separate shower room serve the first floor, while stairs rise to an attic room, providing valuable extra accommodation suited to a hobby room, workspace or occasional bedroom.

Outside, the lifestyle appeal continues. The rear garden is well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, with a substantial patio and lawn that make the most of the far-reaching countryside views. A detached garage adds practicality, while the surrounding scenery and nearby nature walks place you right at the heart of the landscape.

Homes offering this level of character, space and versatility in such a tranquil setting are seldom available. A true escape to the country in every sense.
