Step into an historic home, part of a beautifully created, award-winning development formed from Crostwight Hall and its associated buildings. Rich in heritage, the estate dates back to the 18th century and was once owned by Britain’s first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. In the 1980s, the hall and surrounding buildings were carefully restored by Hanger Developments, earning a prestigious RICS award for their sensitive conversion and use of traditional materials including flint, stone, and Norfolk brick

The Cottage itself is a wonderful example of this thoughtful restoration, showcasing mellow Norfolk brick laid and flint in English bond beneath a pantile roof, in keeping with the area’s vernacular style.

Entering through a solid wood door, you are welcomed into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the main living spaces. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with dual aspect windows to the front and rear allowing for plenty of natural light. There is an gas hob and oven along with space for appliances, and practical lvt flooring underfoot.

The lounge is full of character, featuring carpeted flooring alongside an exposed brick inglenook working fireplace with a timber beam above, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Windows to both the front and rear further enhance the space, while an spiral brick & timber rear staircase from here leads to Bedroom One.

Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom One enjoys dual aspect windows and an original feature fireplace, adding to the period charm. Bedroom Two overlooks the side aspect. The family bathroom comprises a bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin, with a window to the front.

A further loft room provides excellent versatility and is currently used as a study but could equally be utailised as bedroom three and is acessed by space saving stairs and has a view to the rear garden and woodland beyond.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, enclosed for privacy, and complemented by a patio area ideal for entertaining. There is access to a double garage providing off-road parking, along with a side door leading directly into the garden. A large summer house adds further flexibility and is currently used as a yoga space that has mains power and lighting, though it could easily be adapted to suit a variety of needs.
This is a home that effortlessly blends peaceful countryside living with historical significance and practical modern living.
