4 bed detached house for sale

Norwich Road, Long Stratton NR15

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored historic home that combines centuries of character with every modern comfort. Set in gardens of around 0.6 acre at the northern edge of Long Stratton, this exceptional Grade II listed detached cottage blends medieval character with contemporary living. Believed to date from the late fifteenth century, the property is thought to have early connections with the nearby Church of St Michael, giving it a rich sense of heritage and place. The oldest part of the cottage retains a wealth of character features including exposed timber beams, inglenook fireplaces and handcrafted joinery. The spacious sitting room and formal dining room occupy this historic section offering inviting, character-filled living spaces ideal for entertaining or relaxing by the fire. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, all finished to a high standard while retaining the cottage’s unique period charm.

Over the past 18 months, the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation and extension and is finished to a high standard throughout. A superb new rear extension has almost doubled the size of the ground floor, creating a stunning open-plan kitchen/family room and being the true heart of the home. The kitchen area features a brand new kitchen with underfloor heating, integrated appliances and a walk-in corner larder while French doors open directly to the west facing garden which enjoys the most breathtaking sunsets. A ground-floor bedroom with potential en-suite facilities offers excellent versatility for guests or accessible living.

Additional improvements include the installation of a new treatment plant, upgraded electrics, new radiators, new flooring throughout and a full redecoration in a contemporary country style.

Outside, the property is approached via a private drive and sits within delightful mature gardens extending to approximately 0.6 acre. There is ample space for outdoor entertaining or further landscaping. The recent Long Stratton bypass has transformed the setting by diverting through-traffic and restoring the rural character of this town which has a mix of historic charm and modern development. Local amenities include independent shops, cafes and restaurants, a leisure centre and access to local schools and healthcare services.
