Handsome Grade II listed Old Rectory offering over 7000 sq ft of accommodation

Description

The Old Rectory is a stunning Grade II listed property which has undergone significant renovation in the current owner’s tenure. It has been lovingly restored with a determination to enhance the original character and charm. The property offers incredibly spacious accommodation amounting to over 7000 sq ft of living space, including six reception rooms to allow for a flexible use of the space...

The highly attractive Georgian façade with a signature carstone and brick exterior showcases the local charm that is found in the western and north western areas of Norfolk and gives the property a real sense of individuality.

From first entry into the property a personal highlight is the impressive reception hall with grand staircase in the western section of the house. Benefitting from excellent natural light thanks to many of the rooms being dual aspect you are invited to oversee the many attractive and private views across the grounds from several vantage points.

The bespoke country kitchen is complete with the quintessential Aga, painted units and island unit perfect for socialising.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the process of renovation that has been carried out.

Outside
Sitting within attractive and private grounds of about 2.54 acres the Old Rectory stands handsomely within its plot. Approached via a long driveway the property is nestled off the lane and offers excellent privacy. This leads to ample off road parking for several vehicles and the garaging which would be ideal for a car enthusiast.

There is a collection of useful outbuildings including old stables all in various states of repair and this offers scope for further improvements or a change of use subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The grounds surround the property and offer a charming variety of areas such as a small woodland, kitchen garden, wild flower beds, formal lawns and delightful pond. Backing onto open farmland the far reaching views are an excellent feature and give the grounds the sense of tranquillity.

Location

The Old Rectory is located within the picturesque village of North Runcton, conveniently located about 0.5 miles from the A47 trunk road through Norfolk. The village has a stereotypical English village feel with a cricket pitch and tennis club, with both grass and hard courts, at the centre of the village, with a common to the south of the village.

The house is well placed for transport links, with ease of access to either King's Lynn, Watlington or Downham Market for direct lines to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge and Norwich.

To the north-east of the town is Sandringham, providing delightful wooded walks, with golf clubs at both King's Lynn and Middleton.
