Blackthorn Cottage, Rollesby Way, Norwich, NR12 0QJ

Coastal Lifestyle Home Surrounded By The Countryside, A Roof Terrace And Exceptional Outdoor Living Agent Comments This is one of those homes that feels different the moment you arrive.

There’s an immediate sense of calm, helped by the setting and the way the property has been styled, giving it a warm, almost tropical feel that makes everyday living feel like a getaway.

Inside, the accommodation is both spacious and beautifully presented, flowing effortlessly from room to room.

The addition of a conservatory off the main living area brings in natural light and creates a seamless connection through to the garden, making it a space you’ll naturally gravitate towards throughout the day.

However, the real standout for me is the garden room. It’s a space that works equally well whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting friends, or sitting down for an evening meal.

It adds another dimension to the home, extending the living space in a way that feels both practical and enjoyable. Stepping outside, the garden is where this property truly excels.

Thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, it offers a series of distinct areas to enjoy from private corners to more open, social spaces.

Mature planting, carefully positioned seating areas and natural sun traps mean you can follow the light throughout the day, creating a garden that works all year round.

There are also additional practical elements including a double garage and workshop space, providing flexibility for storage, hobbies or projects, while the roof terrace offers yet another vantage point to enjoy the surroundings.

The lifestyle on offer here is what really sets this home apart.

You’re within easy reach of the beach, surrounded by countryside, yet still part of a well-served village with everything needed for day-to-day living.

It’s a rare balance offering both escape and connection making this a home that’s as much about how you live as where you live.

Vendor Comments This home for the last 30 odd years has been a labour of love, enjoyed by many friends and family over the years as an escape and haven from the outside world, taking walks to the beach, the children camping and playing in the garden and enjoying numerous parties.

Opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the wildlife of deer and pheasants always makes me smile and appreciate the special unique nature of my surroundings.

Whether it’s pottering in the garden, relaxing in the garden room with my cat or doing jigsaw puzzle in the conservatory on a cold wintery day enjoying the cosy comfort of the woodburner, I have always felt at peace within the space.
