Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer this beautifully appointed and individual family home, occupying a private and mature plot of around 4 acres(stms), situated in the charming village of Briston. This traditional cottage boasts beautiful landscaped grounds, offers rural tranquillity and also a business opportunity. The property has been lovingly maintained by the same family since the 1970's, preserving its historical charm while offering all the comforts of a wonderful family home.

Upon entering the home, you’ll find plenty of reception space, a spacious living room with an impressive Inglenook fireplace and a log burner, rich solid wood parquet flooring that complements the traditional feel of the property. An open-plan dining room flows naturally from the living room, providing a welcoming space for family gatherings or entertaining. A sunny garden room offers amazing views of the mature grounds.

The kitchen boasts a high-spec finish while maintaining a traditional style, featuring solid wood units, worksurfaces, and an iconic Aga. Every aspect of the kitchen has been carefully considered to retain the cottage's character, making it both a functional and charming space for cooking and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room offers additional storage and laundry facilities.

Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, all with unique features that reflect the home's history and character. The bedrooms offer plenty of room for family or guests. To complete the first floor is a family bathroom complete with a roll-top bath and separate shower.

Outside - Set within four acres of landscaped grounds, the garden offers a peaceful escape and huge potential. As you enter through the double wooden gates, the gardens unfold featuring manicured flower beds that burst with seasonal colours throughout the year.

The landscape is dotted with two serene ponds, while a gentle stream adds another tranquil sound to the atmosphere. Secluded areas are thoughtfully integrated, creating perfect spots for quiet reflection or intimate gatherings, whether you're seeking peaceful moments alone or hosting garden events.
