3 bedroom detached house for sale

Bath Cottage – Where History, Heart & Home Meet

Quintessential detached period home, perfectly positioned in a truly breathtaking location! Believed to date back to the mid-18th Century, this charming former Estate Cottage is steeped in history and has been cherished by the present owners for almost three decades.

From the moment you approach Bath Cottage, framed by its seasonal wisteria and surrounded by cottage gardens, you know this is somewhere special. Views from every window reveal the rolling Norfolk countryside, yet you are only a short 12-minute drive from the heart of Norwich – the very best of both worlds.

Inside, this home radiates warmth and personality. The welcoming entrance hall leads you to a generous sitting room with an exposed beam, inglenook fireplace and log-burning stove – perfect for cosy winter evenings. The country-style kitchen offers ample dining space. Currently configured with three first-floor bedrooms, the ground floor also offers the family bathroom, and a room currently used as a dining room, but which could equally be a study or a fourth bedroom. There is also vast scope for expansion if desired (stp).

The gardens are a private haven – vibrant, beautifully maintained and alive with birdsong. Whether it’s enjoying morning tea from the main bedroom while watching the horses graze on the hill, or entertaining friends on summer evenings, Bath Cottage has been the backdrop to 28 wonderful years for its current owners.

This property benefits from a spacious, partially boarded-out loft, providing valuable additional storage for the home. The boarding makes it practical and safe for storing boxes, seasonal items, or household belongings, helping to keep the rest of the property organised and clutter-free.

Beyond its current use, the loft presents exciting potential for future development. Subject to the usual planning permissions. Its flexible layout, generous headroom, and light-filled potential make it a versatile feature that can adapt to the needs of a growing family or evolving lifestyle.

While peaceful for most of the day, there is some road activity during peak commuting hours – a small trade-off for such a convenient countryside position.

Bath Cottage isn’t about being swish or overly polished, it’s about being home. A place to grow, to laugh, to entertain and to truly live. Whether you are a growing family, a professional couple or ready to retire to the country, this is a home that welcomes you in and makes you want to stay."
