Norwich Road, Brooke, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15

The Old Post Office, Brooke. A truly exceptional period village home, believed to date back approximately 400 years, occupying a prominent position in the very heart of Brooke—one of South Norfolk’s most desirable and historic villages.

This striking bay-fronted, three-storey property is rich in charm and character, with a wealth of original features including exposed beams, cast iron fireplaces, and an unmistakable sense of heritage throughout. The impressive attic room on the top floor enjoys far-reaching views over the village, making it a standout space within the home.

The ground floor offers a generous and flexible layout, with three excellent reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and a store. One of the most unique features is the presence of two separate staircases, which lend themselves perfectly to the potential creation of annexe-style accommodation or a multi-generational living arrangement.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms along with a family bathroom accessed off the landing. The attic space above provides a wonderful, usable room, currently full of character with original beams and wonderful natural light.

To the rear of the property is a secluded courtyard-style garden, enclosed by walling and flanked by two brick-built outbuildings. These outbuildings offer excellent potential for conversion into a home office, studio, or guest accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Additionally, the property retains its original post office room, which presents an exciting opportunity to be reopened as a shop, studio, or business space (subject to planning).
The property benefits from private parking immediately adjacent, including a detached garage and a double-length driveway located just opposite the house, providing space for two vehicles.

With its highly regarded location, incredible character, and abundant potential, The Old Post Office is a rare and special opportunity. The current vendor is motivated to sell, and early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this unique village home has to offer.
