Watton Road, Wretham

Set within a truly rural setting and enjoying open countryside views to the rear, this exceptional Grade II listed character property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home with genuine history, scale and versatility. Formerly a historic public house, the building still carries the unmistakable charm and presence of its past life, with an array of original features, natural nooks and flexible spaces that make it feel wonderfully individual.

The traditional layout, including two separate entrances, is a subtle reminder of its heritage and immediately sets the tone for a home that is quite unlike the ordinary.

One of the main entrances opens directly into a welcoming sitting room, rich in texture and character. Here, exposed brick and flint feature walls create a striking backdrop, complemented by a substantial inglenook fireplace housing a log burner, a true focal point and a nod to the property’s origins. A cleverly designed wooden slatted screen partially conceals the staircase, not only serving a practical purpose but adding another layer of architectural interest.

From this room, the house unfolds naturally, offering a sense of flow while still retaining distinct, characterful spaces. Leading on from the sitting room is the kitchen, which has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the countryside setting. Exposed beams, brick detailing and skylights combine to create a warm yet light-filled space, ideal for everyday living. A central island provides a breakfast seating area, anchoring the room as a social hub while maintaining its rustic aesthetic.

Also accessed from the sitting room is a further reception room, again showcasing a rich brick wall that reinforces the historic feel of the property. The current owners have used this room as a music and entertainment space, comfortably accommodating a piano alongside additional furniture, making it ideal as a games room, studio or relaxed family room.

A porch off this room forms the second entrance to the house, further highlighting the flexibility of the layout and its pub heritage.

From here, French doors open into a generous dining room, designed to host a full-sized grand dining table with ease. Another large inglenook fireplace and exposed brickwork create an impressive yet inviting setting for gatherings. An opening leads through to a snug, a perfect space for winding down.

Flooded with natural light from skylights above, this is a bright and calming space that offers a more intimate contrast to the larger reception rooms.

The ground floor is completed by a range of highly practical spaces, including a WC, utility room and a dedicated boot room, ensuring that the home is as functional as it is characterful, ideal for rural living and day-to-day family life.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three bedrooms and a bathroom, continuing the sense of space and comfort, with the layout lending itself well to family living or hosting guests while retaining the charm expected of a property of this age and style.

In addition to the main house, the property is further enhanced by a completely separate, high-quality three-bedroom new-build bungalow. Finished to a modern standard, the annex offers its own entrance, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area. Gloss-finished units and herringbone-style flooring give the space a contemporary feel, while air source heating adds efficiency and future-focused appeal.

This bungalow is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, extended family, guests or even independent accommodation, offering flexibility without compromise.

Externally, the grounds are equally impressive. The large garden provides ample outdoor space, while the former pub car park ensures parking in abundance. The annex benefits from its own separate driveway directly from the road, further enhancing privacy and independence between the two dwellings.

Altogether, this is a unique and substantial offering: a home steeped in history, rich in character and space, with the added value of modern, self-contained accommodation – a property that truly justifies its place as something special.
