5 bedroom link detached house for sale

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this highly individual character property with an independent 1-bedroom annexe and planning consent to create an additional ancillary dwelling from an existing outbuilding in the grounds. The main house provides versatile ground floor living accommodation, with four double bedrooms upstairs; all of which are complemented by a host of original features which are on display throughout. The property is prominently situated in the centre of Gayton, with a range of amenities just a short walk from the front door. The property occupies a generous plot, with a sunny south facing garden and a large shingle parking and turning area which is secured by a pair of double gates.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the entrance hall, with original stained glass windows and quarry tiled flooring. The front sitting room is a well-proportioned room with an eye-catching stove mounted on an elevated hearth. The back sitting room (listed as the snug) also has a wood burner and enjoys a southerly view over the rear garden. Across the hall there is a door in to the spacious dining room, which in turn is open-plan to the kitchen. The kitchen comprises a range of hand made and hand-painted storage units under solid oak work surfaces, which incorporate a Belfast sink. Another feature is the free-standing multi-fuel Stovax range cooker which is mounted within the original brick surrounds. There is also an integrated dishwasher and a bespoke recess for an American style fridge/freezer and a microwave.

At the rear of the ground floor is the useful utility/boot room, which is equipped with a further range of fitted units and plumbing/space for a washing machine. From the utility, there is an inner door to the ground floor shower room and a stable door opening out to the garden.

Upstairs there are four generously sized double bedrooms arranged around the bright and spacious landing. All four bedrooms display original fireplaces. The bedrooms are served by a stylishly appointed family bathroom.

THE ANNEXE

Formerly a shop, the annexe has become a versatile and lucrative feature of the property. Previously used by a family member, the annexe is currently let out on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, with a monthly income of £550. The annexe has an independent front door from the road, leading into an entrance hall which extends into the main living area. The living area includes space for a sofa and chair alongside the fitted kitchenette, which comprises a range of storage units with a fitted sink and plumbing/space for a washing machine. A door from the kitchen area leads out to a private, south facing courtyard. There is also a well-proportioned double bedroom and a neatly appointed shower room.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached by car at side of the house, where there is space for two vehicles in front of a pair of double gates which open on to an expansive shingle driveway which provides parking and turning space for several vehicles. Within the driveway there is a 7m x 6.4m timber garage/workshop with an electrical power supply.

The garden enjoys a sunny south facing orientation and includes a slate tiled patio, a vegetable garden with raised beds and a central lawn. At the bottom of the garden is an original storage building which has planning consent for conversion.

PLANNING CONSENT

The conversion and extension of an existing outbuilding to create a new residential annexe was granted in April 2021. The architecturally designed dwelling will comprise a living room, study and bathroom within the body of the existing building, with a double bedroom, kitchen/dining room and utility room to be added as part of a contemporary extension. The new property would make a fantastic holiday let or home for a family member. For further information on the scheme, please visit the KL&WN Borough Council planning website, using the reference: 21/00120/F.
