Description

This is a beautiful and well-maintained village house with a charming Grade II listed principal home and a modern detached annexe. The house, which is mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner’s ‘The Buildings of England’, dates back to the 17th century and is constructed of brick and flint with lime mortar, typical of the area. It features well-proportioned accommodation over three floors, with period details such as exposed beams and fireplaces. The main house includes an entrance hall, a sitting room with a fireplace and French doors to the garden, a hand-built kitchen with Iroko hardwood worktops, a dining room, and a drawing room with an inglenook fireplace. There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, with an additional large fourth bedroom and seating area on the third floor. The annexe, located to the north of the main house, is a modern detached building of attractive design, also constructed of brick and flint, with a glazed gable end. It offers a versatile main room with vaulted ceilings and bi-fold doors, a well-fitted kitchen, an entrance area, a wet room, and useful storage space. It can be used as a variety of spaces, such as an art studio, yoga or pilates studio, home office, cinema, or games room. The half-acre gardens are well-designed for low maintenance and feature wildflower areas, mature trees, an orchard, a wildlife pond, a decked seating area, a well, a summer house, and a shepherd’s hut. There is also a garage, storage room, and wood store, as well as a timber garden shed. Rose Cottage is located in the quiet village of Briningham, near Holt and the North Norfolk coast, surrounded by beautiful countryside with plenty of footpaths and bridleways. The village has good local amenities, and the nearby town of Holt offers a range of boutique shops, restaurants, and cafes, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. The property is perfect for those looking for a country retreat with modern conveniences and versatile living spaces.
