The Street, Brooke, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15

Discreetly positioned off The Street, one of Brooke’s most picturesque and sought after addresses, The Limes Cottage enjoys a wonderfully hidden setting with a character all of its own. Believed to date from the 18th century, this period home reveals surprisingly generous accommodation behind its charming exterior, with approximately 1313 sq ft of living space and a wealth of period features.

There is a reassuring sense of substance to the rooms, with proportions more often associated with a larger family home. Exposed beams, characterful brick flooring and a wood burning stove bring warmth and individuality, while the spacious layout makes this a cottage equally suited to quiet evenings and a house full of guests.

The main reception room is a particular highlight. Extending to over 22ft, this exceptional reception space provides ample room for generous sofas and a substantial dining table, allowing family life and entertaining to come together comfortably. Multiple windows introduce natural light, while the brick flooring and wood burning stove give the room an inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons.

The kitchen continues the blend of character and practicality. Exposed beams and brick flooring sit alongside fitted cabinetry, oak worktops and a ceramic sink, with a freestanding electric range cooker providing a natural focal point. Space for a table makes this a sociable room in its own right, whether enjoying a leisurely start to the day or chatting over supper.

The generously proportioned utility room offers far more than practical storage and laundry space. Currently accommodating a seating area, it provides a versatile additional room, with space to enjoy a quiet coffee or read a book, alongside direct access to the courtyard garden. A separate ground floor shower room, fitted with a generous walk-in shower, wash basin and WC, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. Three double bedrooms are all accessed independently from the landing, making the layout practical for family living and visiting guests. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from built-in storage, while stripped wooden flooring and an ornate feature fireplace on the landing add to the home’s period appeal. The stunning family bathroom features a four-piece suite, with both a bath and a separate shower.

Outside, the private garden provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining, morning coffee and relaxed afternoons. Designed for ease of maintenance, it offers the opportunity to introduce potted planting and comfortable seating without the demands of a larger garden. A side gate provides access towards the single en bloc garage, adding useful parking or storage to this distinctive village home.
