A delightful three-bedroom thatched cottage in the sought-after village of Keswick, in south Norwich, is up for sale at offers over £750,000.
Dating back 400 years, Honeysuckle Cottage is Grade II listed and “beautifully presented with much care to preserve and enhance the original features it holds”, according to selling agents Minor & Brady.
Period features include exposed wooden beams and brickwork, a wood burner and a traditional thatched roof, which was re-thatched in 2020.
A generous porch provides an inviting entrance to the house. One of the four reception rooms, currently a music room, sits to the right of the porch and overlooks the gardens.
To the left, there is an entrance hall with staircase to the first floor and doors to the kitchen/diner, a utility room with adjoining shower room and a dining room with inglenook fireplace and wood burner.

Further doors lead from the dining room to a garden room and the lounge, also with inglenook fireplace and a door to the rear garden.
The garden room is a “great space for hosting and entertaining”, say Minors & Brady, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, exposed beams, and direct access to the patio area.
The kitchen is well-equipped with high quality wall and base units, traditional-style tiled flooring and double doors opening to the patio.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, two with built-in storage and each with its own individual character and exposed beams. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom with panelled bath and shower attachment.

The gardens are a real highlight of Honeysuckle Cottage, stretching to half an acre (subject to survey) and separated into two distinct spaces.
To the front there are manicured lawns, vegetable patches, an array of flowers, mature shrubs and trees, and a pond creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The rear garden is beautifully landscaped with a large patio area for al fresco dining and entertaining, and numerous flowers, shrubs and trees creating privacy.
The cottage is approached via an extensive driveway with plenty of parking for family and visitors, plus a double garage, outbuilding and pathway leading to the front door.
Keswick is an attractive and historic area located in the south of Norwich. Known for its peaceful walking routes and gardens, the village remains well-connected to a range of local amenities and is only a 10-15 drive from Norwich city centre.
