Description
Tucked away in a truly idyllic setting, The Rookery is a striking Grade II listed country home, gracefully nestled within around 8.4 acres (STMS) of beautifully mature grounds. Set behind wrought iron gates and approached by a sweeping gravelled driveway, this handsome period residence exudes elegance, charm and complete privacy - a sanctuary in the heart of the Norfolk countryside.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a real sense of occasion. The gravel drive curves gently past lush lawns and established trees before revealing a generous parking area, garaging, and five traditional stables - ideal for equestrian pursuits or simply enjoying the romance of rural life.
Step inside and The Rookery continues to delight. Sunlight pours in through tall Georgian sash windows, illuminating rooms of exceptional proportion and character. The drawing room, with its fine period fireplace and glorious views over the grounds, is an inviting space to unwind or entertain. Equally charming is the dining room - wonderfully atmospheric for dinner parties, especially when the wood-burning stove glows during winter evenings.
At the heart of the home lies a spectacular kitchen - a beautifully considered blend of modern functionality and period charm. A generous island provides ample workspace, while the Aga offers warmth and culinary inspiration in equal measure. Just off the kitchen, a cosy sitting room provides the perfect spot for relaxed mornings or evenings by the fire, and a snug, boot room, cloakroom, conservatory and an incredibly versatile studio space with mezzanine level all add to the home’s generous and flexible footprint.
The first floor offers three double bedrooms, each with lovely outlooks across the grounds, along with a contemporary family bathroom and a separate shower room. The top floor is home to two further vaulted bedrooms, brimming with character, as well as a practical store room.
Outside, the grounds are every bit as enchanting as the house itself. The rear terrace is perfect for al fresco entertaining, framed by wildflower meadows, sweeping lawns, and mature tree belts that provide shelter and privacy. Productive fruit trees, a polytunnel, and a woodland area, covered by snowdrops, bluebells, wild garlic, and hundreds of daffodils that lead one season into another, create a wonderful sense of self-sufficiency and country living.
The Rookery is a rare and special home – one that promises a slower pace of life, in surroundings that soothe the soul and spark the imagination. A place to grow, gather, and truly belong.
