Description

Situated within the highly sought-after village of Great Hockham, this substantial and beautifully extended Grade II Listed detached Norfolk flint cottage offers approximately 2,775 sq ft of versatile accommodation, occupying an impressive plot of around 0.32 acres.

Steeped in character and original features throughout, the property perfectly combines period charm with practical family living. The ground floor provides four reception rooms, three of which feature attractive wood-burning stoves, creating warm and inviting spaces ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/dining room, complemented by a utility room and a convenient ground floor shower room.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from a separate dressing room and en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the cottage enjoys beautifully established and highly private gardens that have been thoughtfully designed to create a variety of tranquil outdoor spaces. A substantial patio runs the full length of the property, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. The grounds further include a productive vegetable garden, pergola, wild garden areas, multiple seating areas, two garden sheds, a garage, and an attractive loggia with wood-burning stove for year-round enjoyment.

A particular highlight is the attached barn conversion, currently arranged as a studio and offering exciting potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents, making it ideal for multi-generational living. The studio presently comprises a reception room with wood-burning stove, kitchen area, WC, and additional office space, providing excellent flexibility for home working, guest accommodation, or independent living.

To the front, the property benefits from extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a charming wild garden and small orchard area, further enhancing the home's idyllic countryside appeal.

Great Hockham lies approximately 8 miles from the market town of Attleborough and 9 miles from Thetford, both towns boasting a range of facilities and train stations serving Norwich and Cambridge. The village itself benefits from an excellent array of amenities such as primary and nursery schools, a fabulous village pub serving great food and hosting many social events throughout the year, a very active village hall with monthly coffee mornings, gardening club, Bowls, Yoga and Tai Chi. For those wanting to explore the beautiful Norfolk countryside there are various walks and trails nearby at Thetford Forrest along with equestrian facilities in the village and a riding school. For those needing to commute, there is quick and easy access onto the A11. Great Hockham is well known for it’s annual village fair, dating back to 1272 and taking place on the village green during the summer.
