Detached period home with stunning gardens.

Description

57 Ketts Hill is a highly unique Victorian residence set within a private position overlooking the city. Offering flexible accommodation suitable for both families and couples alike the house features both charm and convenience thanks to its location to the east of the city centre.

Containing feature fireplaces and high ceilings of the era, there is plenty of essential character to be found and in particular the first floor balcony off the front facing bedrooms provides an attractive façade.

The current owners have improved the property during their tenure and as such the house is well presented and contains a modern kitchen.

Three ground floor reception rooms provide flexibility with a now essential study located via its own stair case on the first floor, ideal to work from home.

Four bedrooms are well served with two first floor bath and shower rooms and a further ground floor shower room in situ.

Outside
Approached via a long private drive leading to a large gravel parking area for numerous cars, the house stands proud in an elevated position and in a plot of about 0.54 acres. Thanks to its impressive elevation the property features a wonderful view over Norwich encompassing the major landmarks of the Cathedrals as well as boasting exceptional privacy. The gardens which have been meticulously planted provide different areas of interest such as the tiered section leading to the summer house, a patio terrace perfect for entertaining and an area of lawn planted with mature shrubs and borders. A lower level accessed via a wooden staircase provides useful additional parking.

An attractive and large greenhouse close to the property is ideal for those wishing to “grow their own” and enjoy the rare lifestyle of a country house within the city.
