About this property

Tucked within Ruston Reaches, an attractive row of eleven modern terraced cottages. Gatekeeper enjoys an idyllic setting beside a private lake on the edge of East Ruston. Peaceful and beautifully maintained, the development is cared for collectively by the owners, each cottage cherished as a second home, with some enjoyed privately and others welcoming holiday guests. The unspoilt North Norfolk coastline lies just a 10-minute drive away, making this a superb base for relaxation and exploration.

Mid-terrace and wonderfully presented, Gatekeeper offers light, comfortable living across two floors. The entrance hall provides space for coats and leads to a convenient downstairs WC. Beyond this, the home opens into an inviting open-plan living area, incorporating a modern fitted kitchen, dining space, and a cosy sitting area. Large sliding French doors frame views of the communal gardens and shimmering lake, filling the room with natural light and allowing easy access to the private patio. Here, you can unwind in the sunshine, fire up the BBQ, and watch the swans and geese drift by—an ever-changing, tranquil backdrop.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms—currently arranged as one double and one twin—offer comfortable accommodation, served by a bright family bathroom.

Outside

To the front, communal parking provides convenience for residents and guests. To the rear, each cottage benefits from its own private fenced patio, opening onto the beautifully kept shared gardens and the lakeside beyond. Ruston Reaches itself is approached along a quiet country lane, setting the tone for the calm and restful environment that awaits.
