Wood Norton Road, Stibbard, NR21

Rose Cottage is a quintessential 'chocolate box' character cottage, now requiring a programme of light refurbishment throughout. The Cottage is situated in a charming rural setting on the edge of the popular and conveniently located village of Stibbard, just a 25 minute drive from the north Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Believed to have been built circa 1820 of rendered elevations under a pantiled roof, this detached cottage is side onto the road with a low brick and flint wall to the front boundary making the most of the views over neighbouring paddock land.

The current owners have carried out a programme of some refurbishment whilst retaining character and period features such as exposed beams, latch doors and an impressive original fireplace. There is ground floor accommodation comprising a kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room which is open plan to the dining area, a snug and a utility/shower room.  Upstairs, the landing leads to 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.

The cottage has attractively landscaped partly walled cottage gardens with 2 parking areas and is being offered for sale with no onward chain. 

Stibbard is a rural village surrounded by undulating and well-wooded countryside, with a mixture of cottages, period houses and modern properties, and the benefit of a primary school and a Parish Church.
