Description

Nestled in a rural hamlet just south of Norwich, Little Manor is a charming Grade II listed thatched house believed to date back to the 1600s brimming with character and period charm.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading into a kitchen/diner, which flows through to a utility room, a home office, and a ground floor shower room. At the heart of the home is a striking sitting and dining room, full of warmth and character, with exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace. This space leads to a versatile ground floor bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en suite bathroom, while a second bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe. Both rooms showcase the house's period features, with exposed beams adding to the sense of charm and history.

Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a parking area and a garage. A separate outbuilding houses a games room, wood store, and workshop, offering excellent flexibility for hobbies or storage.

The mature garden is thoughtfully landscaped, with a large pond, patio area accessed from the kitchen, established trees, and climbing roses that frame the cottage beautifully.
