Rose Cottage is a charming flint-built Norfolk cottage, rich in character and offering the perfect blend of period features and modern comfort - ideal for full-time living or as a country escape.
Tucked away on a quiet country lane in the picturesque village of Carbrooke, the cottage enjoys unspoilt views across open countryside, with miles of scenic walks and cycle routes right on the doorstep.
Steeped in history, Carbrooke dates back to the 12th century and retains a strong sense of community, while remaining well-connected to the historic city of Norwich and the beautiful North Norfolk coast.
Believed to date back to the 18th century, Rose Cottage retains all the charm you’d expect- exposed flint walls, a cosy sitting room with log burner, and original detailing throughout.
Later extensions have created a wonderfully versatile home of around 1,317 sq. Ft. (stms), with light filled living spaces and a welcoming layout.
The 25ft dining/garden room is a real highlight-bathed in natural light and with views over the garden, it’s the ideal space to entertain or simply relax throughout the day.
The country-style kitchen features a butler sink and blends seamlessly into the inner hall, where a striking flint wall leads to the bathroom and staircase.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with well-proportioned bedrooms and lovely views over the surrounding landscape.
