Marlbottom, Tasburgh, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15

Highly individual, Grade II listed period home with river frontage

Description

Mistletoe Cottage is a highly individual, beautifully crafted home that blends modern comfort with timeless character. Set in a delightful position with countryside views, river frontage and excellent access to Norwich, the property is ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle while retaining the convenience of the city, just ten miles away. The added benefit of potential annexe accommodation provides flexibility for multi generational living or those wishing to work from home. The property is offered with no onward chain.

The ground floor opens with an inviting entrance hall designed to frame a view through to the kitchen garden, immediately showcasing the care and attention invested in the home. A cosy sitting room enjoys far reaching views and features a wood burning stove, while a dedicated cinema room provides an excellent secondary living space, equally suited as a snug or playroom. A formal dining room leads through to the impressive kitchen and family room extension.
Designed by the renowned Norfolk based Arcadia Kitchens, this bespoke, high specification kitchen is a true centrepiece. Exceptional worktop and storage solutions combine with built in appliances including ovens, induction hob, coffee machine, steam oven, vacuum drawer, fridge freezer and dishwasher, all seamlessly integrated within the stylish cabinetry. Equally as striking as the kitchen itself is the extension that houses it: wrapped around the original cottage, it embraces natural light and offers captivating views over the meadows bordering the River Tas. This thoughtful design has enhanced both the property's footprint and the flow of the accommodation, creating a stunning sociable heart to the home. The ground floor is completed by a practical utility room and a contemporary shower room.

Despite the modern additions, the homes character remains at the forefront. As a Grade II listed property, great care has been taken to preserve and highlight its 18th century origins. Fireplaces, exposed beams, brickwork and timber detailing sit harmoniously alongside the more recent enhancements, resulting in a property that is both functional and rich with charm.

The first floor offers four bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with a dressing room. A beautifully appointed four piece family bathroom serves this level, complete with a roll top bath and separate shower.

Within the grounds stands a purpose built, high specification outbuilding that adds exceptional versatility. Currently arranged as a gym with two double bedrooms and a shower room, it presents an excellent opportunity for multi generational living (subject to the necessary consents). For those working from home, a room with its own external access is set up as a dedicated home office. The building also benefits from an array of solar panels, enhancing the property's eco credentials and contributing to lower running costs.

Set within approximately 1.37 acres, Mistletoe Cottage is approached via electronic gates, ensuring security and privacy. The beautifully maintained grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and functional setting along the river. A resin bonded driveway provides a clean, contemporary aesthetic and leads to a triple bay cart lodge, two bays of which are currently utilised as a games room.

The majority of the grounds are laid to lawn with paved pathways surrounding the house. A particular highlight is the exceptional kitchen garden to the rear, expertly designed with raised beds, a greenhouse, chicken coop and orchard area. Lovingly created by the current owners, it is among the finest of its kind.

A sunken hot tub has been positioned on a decked area to take full advantage of the outlook and privacy. This space also features an outdoor shower and a large terrace ideal for alfresco dining, entertaining and appreciating the views over the river and adjoining countryside.

Opposite the property is an area of Woodland which is owned by Mistletoe Cottage.
