5 bedroom detached house for sale

DESCRIPTION White Horse House, a 19th century former village pub, sits in the rural hamlet of White Horse Common, just outside the market town of North Walsham.

The main property has three bedrooms, and there is also a large, two-bedroom, self-contained annexe which has multiple uses, such as accommodation for relatives or guests, or to provide income as a holiday let.

Located on the Weavers' Way footpath, and with the historic North Walsham and Dilham Canal on the doorstep, White Horse House is also only a short drive from the delightful Norfolk coast & Norfolk Broads.

The current owners have been true to the history of White Horse House, keeping many character features, such as the original pub well and period pump in the parking area. From there a gate leads into the beautiful gardens, and a path to the front door of the annexe.

A storm porch provides shelter as you enter the main building. There are two generous double aspect reception rooms, both with wood burners.

A study with glazed door can be found off the lounge, as well as a cloakroom. The second reception room, the original public bar, leads you to the kitchen with modern Shaker-style units and door to the ample utility room.

The first-floor landing provides access to all rooms, with the light and airy master bedroom enjoying an en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, and a superb feature bathroom with free-standing roll-top bath under a Velux window, plus separate shower enclosure.

The utility room links the main house with the annexe, which features accommodation all on one level. There are two bedrooms, a delightfully light double aspect lounge with doors to the courtyard, contemporary shower room and kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted glazed area.

The curtilage of White Horse House is mainly to the rear, and is set on two levels connected by steps with formal lawns, vegetable plot, summerhouse and mature trees, shrubs and flower borders on the upper level. A garden room with power stands on the boundary between the upper and lower levels and has views over ponds, wild flower area and trees.
