Hall Drive, Old Catton, NR6

A pair of striking iron gates mark the entrance to Hall Drive, revealing this delightful Grade II Listed cottage, thought to date back to the 1850s. Brimming with character and retaining many original features, it offers a truly charming living space. Situated in the picturesque village of Old Catton, it provides the best of both worlds - the peace and beauty of village life, while being just three miles from the vibrant city of Norwich, offering easy access to everything the city has to offer.

Upon entering the cottage, the character of the property is immediately apparent. The spacious sitting room is a welcoming space, featuring exposed beams and a central fireplace with a brick chimney breast and solid oak bresummer, which creates a striking focal point. The room is filled with natural light, making it a perfect spot to relax. Leading off from the sitting room is the large, bright family kitchen. With high ceilings, exposed beams, and a tiled floor, this room truly serves as the heart of the home. It provides access to both a sheltered rear courtyard and a beautiful side cottage garden, offering the perfect place for outdoor relaxation.

On the opposite side of the main entrance, you'll find the dining room, which is also filled with character. It features exposed beams, original latch doors, and a lovely timber-surround fireplace. A unique feature of this period cottage is the presence of two separate staircases. One staircase, tucked behind a door in the dining room, leads up to a large double bedroom with a charming cast iron fireplace. A connecting door opens into the master bedroom, which also boasts an original fireplace and a large window offering views over the front of the property. Another door from the master bedroom leads to a light-filled landing, with natural light pouring in through a large Velux window. Off this landing, you'll find a recently modernised shower room and a third bedroom, which is currently used as a guest room or study.

The second staircase, situated on the opposite side of the property, leads back down to the kitchen, offering a practical layout and a sense of flow within the home.
