Victorian Four-Bedroom Carrstone House

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present Cantley, a beautiful four-bedroom Victorian Carrstone house, set within a generous and beautifully established plot in the peaceful village of Blackborough End. Dating back to the 1850s, this charming residence has been thoughtfully enhanced to blend period character with refined modern living. The ground floor is centred around a superb open-plan kitchen/dining space, forming the heart of the home and ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This is complemented by a spacious living room featuring a character fireplace, an adjoining conservatory, and a versatile formal dining room. Further accommodation includes a separate utility room, a stylish family bathroom, and a ground-floor double bedroom, which, with adjacent facilities, offers excellent potential as a self-contained annexe or guest suite. On the first floor, there are three comfortable double bedrooms, including a fantastic principal bedroom complete with a contemporary ensuite shower room. A further modern shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. Completing the first floor is the south-facing balcony, perfectly positioned to enjoy elevated views across the established rear garden. Externally, the home is set within private and tranquil grounds, with beautifully maintained front and rear gardens providing a sense of seclusion and space. Additional benefits include a substantial cart shed, a brick-built summer house, an attached garage, and off-road parking to the front.
Accommodation

Access to the property is via an attractive entrance porch, providing a practical space for footwear before stepping into the main accommodation. The first room you encounter is the superb open-plan kitchen/dining space, which forms the central hub of the home. The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of storage units, complemented by wood worktops and a large rear-facing window positioned above the sink, framing delightful views over the garden. There is ample space for all essential appliances along with plumbing for a dishwasher and room for a dining table and chairs, making this an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is the inviting living room, which enjoys outlooks to the front and side aspects of the property. This beautifully proportioned space is centred around a charming feature fireplace with a log burner, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. Double doors lead through to the bright conservatory, offering an additional reception space with lovely views across the garden. Also accessed from the kitchen is a more formal dining room, offering excellent versatility and equally suitable for use as a home office or additional sitting room if desired. This room also retains a beautiful original fireplace, adding further character. An inner hallway provides access to a boiler room, an airing cupboard, and leads through to the well-appointed ground floor bathroom, comprising a sunken bath with overhead shower. Also off the hall is the utility room, which offers further practical storage, along with plumbing and space for laundry appliances, and additional cabling provision for cooker installation if required, making it well-suited for conversion into ancillary or annexe-style accommodation if desired. Completing the ground floor is a versatile bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

To the first floor, a central landing connects the accommodation and features a sliding door opening onto the superb south-facing balcony, providing an excellent vantage point over the garden. The wonderful principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from a stylishly appointed ensuite shower room, complete with a recently installed walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms are both comfortable doubles and are served by a modern shower room, fitted with a recently installed corner shower.
Outside

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot of approximately a third of an acre, enjoying beautifully established front and rear gardens that provide a wonderful sense of privacy and attract a variety of birds and wildlife. The cottage is approached via a block-paved driveway, offering off-road parking and access to the attached garage, which provides additional secure parking or valuable storage space. The large garage benefits from power and heating via a radiator, together with an electric sectional door to the front and a pedestrian access door to the rear, allowing convenient access directly from the garden. The front garden is fully enclosed by mature hedging, ensuring a high degree of privacy while creating a welcoming first impression. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is interspersed with established and colourful planting, enhancing the sense of charm. The south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight of the property and has been thoughtfully arranged into distinct areas. The first features a paved seating terrace beneath a timber pergola, offering an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation, surrounded by well-stocked flower beds. A central pathway leads through the garden to a larger, lawned section, flanked by attractive planting and opening towards a more natural, wooded area at the far end, which enhances the feeling of seclusion and tranquillity. The garden also benefits from a range of useful outbuildings, including a substantial timber cart shed and a brick-built summer house, which offers excellent potential for conversion into a home office or studio space, separate from the main residence.
