6 bedroom house

Originally two cottages which have been beautifully combined to provide spacious and highly versatile accommodation, with a wealth of original character and charming features throughout. Dating back to 1764, Rose Cottage has an excellent degree of curb appeal with its double frontage and it's location in a desirable picturesque position on the edge of the well-served village of Bawdeswell. In an elevated position, it is approached by a shingle drive surrounded by lawns, trees and pretty cottage borders. Rose Cottage also features delightful far-reaching field views to the westerly rear aspect. The village offers a range of local amenities and public transport to the neighbouring market towns of Reepham, Dereham, Fakenham and also the cathedral city of Norwich.

This charming detached property has been owned by the current vendors for many happy years. The property has undergone extensive renovations, including conjoining what were two separate cottages, which have been sympathetically blended both to the interior and exterior of the home, whilst retaining as much of the original character as possible, finished with high quality fixtures and fittings.

The versatile accommodation extends to approximately 2240 Sq.Ft. across two floors, encompassing the self-contained annexe/home office. The flexibility caters well for prospective buyers looking for multi-generational living. The living accommodation includes light and spacious reception rooms, which offer multi-functional purposes. The sitting room features one of the two inglenook fireplaces, housing a wood burning stove, opening into a dining room, with the second inglenook, containing a 'pot belly' stove. Two fitted kitchens lay at apposing ends of the property, each granting access into conservatories overlooking the beautiful and secluded gardens. Additionally, two bathrooms serve the property and are positioned on the ground floor.

The upstairs is accessed via one of two staircases and comprises five bedrooms and a mix of vaulted ceilings with beautiful, exposed beams and timbers. The remaining space upstairs consists of a cloakroom with WC and a spacious landing which could easily be used as a first floor study or reading room.

Finally, the self-contained annexe provides great potential for those wishing to work from home, to generate additional income or simply to accommodate guests. Featuring two reception rooms/bedrooms, as required, and a shower room.

The property is approached via an in-and-out shingled driveway, providing a good amount of off-road parking. The lawned and well-stocked gardens wrap around the home and extend along the field edge. There is also a delightful pamment patio, perfect for entertaining and watching the glorious Norfolk sunset on the horizon. The generous plot which extending to approximately 0.45 acres (sts), overlooks neighbouring farmland with beautiful countryside views all year round.
