This is a wonderful and unique opportunity to purchase one of the oldest and premier properties in Ickleford. Rose Cottage has been in the same family for four generations and the cottage dates back to the first half of the 16th century. The property has never been extended and remains largely unaltered with many period features including two large stone fireplaces. The frame of the house was restored in 1992, this was the first time the structure of the cottage had been touched from new. The property has been recently re-thatched with Norfolk reed by a master thatcher who has been maintaining the roof for the last 40 years. The property resides in a plot of approximately 0.45 of an acre and offers great potential for development as it comes with a large number of outbuildings to the rear.
The accommodation commences on the ground floor with a side entrance porch which leads through to the kitchen. From here there is access to both the family bathroom suite, central living room with feature fire place and dining room, again with feature fireplace and front door. Off of the dining room is a generous store room with stairs rising up and leading in to bedroom two. The central hallway provides a storage room and stair way which leads up to both the principal bedroom and bedroom three. Off of this bedroom is an additional storage room.
The cottage stands well back from the road and well away from its neighbours. The whole garden is enclosed by gates and mature hedge row and offers extensive lawns, and mature trees, both fruit and ornamental. There is a driveway providing off road parking for multiple cars. To the rear of the property is extensive outbuildings including four garages, a barn and a large shed.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
