The Location

East Ruston is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It lies approximately 4 miles north of the town of Stalham and about 15 miles east of Norwich. The village is part of the district of North Norfolk and is situated close to the Norfolk Broads, an area of wetlands and waterways popular for boating and outdoor activities.

East Ruston is characterised by its rural surroundings, including agricultural land and traditional Norfolk cottages. The village is known for East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden, a well-regarded, 32-acre garden known for its horticultural diversity.

These neighbouring areas offer easy access to East Ruston and contribute to the rural appeal of the region. To the east, the coastal village of Happisburgh is just a short drive away, known for its historic lighthouse and coastal views. The proximity of East Ruston to these villages makes it an ideal spot for exploring the Norfolk countryside and nearby coastlines, providing a peaceful yet well-connected setting.

Back Road, East Ruston

Set against the backdrop of open countryside, this semi-rural two-bedroom cottage delivers calm and comfort in equal measure. The outlook is a real standout – every window opens up to fields that stretch out into the distance, with wide skies and soft sounds replacing the pace of town.

The setting is peaceful, the atmosphere relaxed, and the interior has been freshly decorated throughout, giving a clean, easy-living feel from the first step inside.

A practical entrance porch welcomes you in, with space for coats, boots, and extra storage, plus plumbing for a washing machine neatly built in. The kitchen leads off from here, finished in a rich navy with a lively yellow tiled backsplash adding colour and flair — a stylish yet tasteful choice that works beautifully.

From the kitchen, the sitting room feels full of character thanks to overhead black-painted beams and a central fireplace with stove below, ready to take the edge off cooler evenings. A staircase integrates smoothly into the space, while you connect through to the conservatory — a true extension of the living area, perfect for enjoying the garden in all seasons.

Both bedrooms are doubles, filled with light and looking out onto nothing but fields and sky. The bathroom is a classic three-piece suite, finished simply and in keeping with the rest of the home.

Step outside and the space continues — a large garden with established planting, vegetable beds, and plenty of room to relax, grow, or create. There’s also the benefit of off-road parking and full planning permission in place to extend — a generous workshop, a spacious kitchen diner and one more bedroom totalling the home to three bedrooms, if more space is part of your plan.
