3 bedroom detached house for sale

Set behind a walled front boundary with an electric gated driveway, and positioned centrally within a delightful plot extending to just over 0.3 acres (STMS), Hill Cottage is a handsome detached home that beautifully combines the charm of a country cottage with the comfort, efficiency and scale of modern living. Extending to approximately 2,219 sq ft, and further enhanced by a newly constructed garage/carport, this is a house of both presence and practicality.

At the heart of the home is a striking vaulted kitchen, a wonderfully sociable space designed as much for everyday living as it is for entertaining. With an impressive central island, it is perfectly suited to family gatherings and relaxed hosting alike, flowing naturally through to the dining area and adjoining reception rooms. A separate sitting room with a central brick fireplace housing a must-have wood burning stove provides a more peaceful retreat, while the ground-floor study offers excellent flexibility for home working, guests or use as a fourth bedroom. A utility room and cloakroom further enhance the functionality of the ground floor.

Upstairs, three comfortable and generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, including a principal suite with its own wardrobe/dressing area and en suite, in addition to a well-appointed family bathroom. The overall layout is balanced and adaptable, lending itself equally well to modern family life and entertaining.

What sets Hill Cottage apart is the way in which it blends character with thoughtful, future-facing upgrades. The property benefits from Daikin air source heating, with underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor, while the current owner has also installed Solar PV with battery storage, bringing an energy-conscious edge to an already impressive home.

Outside, the grounds create a wonderful sense of arrival and privacy, with the electric gated driveway complementing the house beautifully. The recently added garage/carport provides valuable covered parking and storage, while a covered pergola offers an inviting space for outdoor entertaining, perfectly suited to those typically British summer evenings by providing both shade from the sun and shelter from the rain.

Positioned within Feltwell, a well-served Norfolk village with a primary school, local shops, Post Office, public house, doctors’ surgery and other everyday amenities, the property enjoys the appeal of village life with countryside close at hand, as well as convenient access to the borders of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.

A substantial detached village home with modern systems, excellent versatility and a strong sense of setting, Hill Cottage is a property that feels ready for both immediate enjoyment and long-term living.
