" ‘Primrose Cottage‘ is a unique and enchanting period residence which subtly fuses old and new to create a sublime home that champions character and charm, whilst firmly embracing a modern lifestyle.

This wonderful home sits proud within its plot, which extends to around 1 3 acre STMS and provides a discreet and peaceful environment.

Formerly a quaint and humble, two bedroom cottage ‘Primrose Cottage‘ now showcases substantial and highly versatile accommodation, which extends to over 1,700 sq. ft. A careful and considered approach when extending the cottage, in terms of architectural detail and materials used, has created a delightful fusion of old and new.

On entering the front door, you are immediately greeted by an impressive, vaulted hall, which features an elegant turning staircase that rises to a galleried landing.

The hall flows seamlessly through to a magnificent lifestyle room, which cleverly incorporates a wonderful kitchen, dining area and informal lounge space.

Spanning over 28‘ in length, the impressive space features a handmade, in frame kitchen by ‘Beam Ends‘ of Pulham Market. Classic ‘Shaker‘ tulip wood cabinetry features handmade doors painted in F&B ‘French Grey‘ and are capped in solid ash worktops. A central island accommodates further cabinets and a breakfast bar area to create a highly sociable gathering space. A butler style sink, four oven Aga and a twin electric oven with a bottled gas fuelled hob, and a walk in pantry complete the elegant, farmhouse kitchen experience.

An open plan dining area enjoys a delightful triple aspect along with french doors onto the rear formal gardens and sun terrace. Set off the kitchen is the all important boot room and utility area, with separate access to the gardens. There is also a ground floor wet room with WC.

Entering the original wing of the cottage you will find a charming yet sizeable sitting room, which is packed with period features such as exposed beams and stone floors. To one end of the sitting room is a bespoke made ‘home bar‘, which provides a unique and sociable feature. Off the sitting room is a charming and cosy snug featuring a wood burner.

A turning staircase in the sitting room rises to a first floor area, which features two of the four double bedrooms. Each of these delightful rooms ooze charm, with vaulted and beamed ceilings, and are served by an adjacent shower room.

From the main entrance hall, a turning staircase rises elegantly to the ‘modern‘ first floor wing and arrives at an impressive galleried landing. This floor houses the principal bedroom suite, which boasts a bright, triple aspect and en suite shower room. There is also a generous guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes, which is served by a family sized bathroom with an ornate roll top bath.

‘Primrose Cottage‘ commands an idyllic setting within approximately 1 3 acre STMS of established grounds.

Set well back from the road, behind private gates, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy and features landscaped gardens to the front and flexible parking options.
