4 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled amongst rolling Norfolk countryside in its very own haven of established gardens, this substantial period residence offers scope to create your very own dream north Norfolk country home.

Mardle End is a substantial period residence set in over 1/2 acres (stms) of established grounds and boasts extensive and highly versatile accommodation that extends to over 2,600sq ft.

Believed to date back in parts to the 1870s and formally a pair of classic brick and flint estate cottages, this fine home now stands proud in an extensive plot with later extensions and modifications that collectively come together to create a spacious and adaptable home.

Set over two floors and extending to an impressive 2,666sq ft., the property presents great opportunity for further enhancement and adaptation to suit personal tastes and needs. The extensive ground floor showcases character-filled accommodation that perfectly embraces the delightful grounds.

A 27' open plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of this home and features a range of hand built cats-paw oak units, a decorative cast iron range, conventional cooking appliances, and generous dining space with an open fireplace. Off the kitchen is a spacious utility/laundry room and guest WC.

A rear hall leads through to a generous living room which is blessed with a plethora of period features including exposed beams, feature flint wall, and an open fireplace. This bright and spacious reception enjoys a dual aspect over the ground.

A substantial, single-storey extension on the west wing of the house has provided a triple aspect room with a semi-vaulted ceiling. This large and versatile room has previously been utilized as a ground floor bedroom and benefits from a modern en-suite shower room but comfortably functions as a versatile reception room.

The ground floor accommodation is further enhanced by a study and garden room.

To the first floor, there are four-bedroom options including a spacious, dual-aspect principal bedroom with an en-suite, a generous second/guest bedroom with a jack and jill style bathroom plus two further bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms enjoys delightful garden and countryside views.

In addition to the main accommodation, there is an attached single garage plus an attractive brick and flint detached garage.

Mardle End enjoys an idyllic environment thanks to its extensive and established gardens that encapsulate the house and extend to just over 1/2 acre (stms).

To the front of the house, a brick and flint wall encloses a front garden and generous driveway and hardstanding that accommodates plenty of off-road parking.

The rear garden is mature and established with sprawling lawns peppered with shrubs and a fine selection of trees. It would be more than fair to say that the gardens would now benefit from a degree of landscaping and design but offer great scope for enhancement and personalisation.
 

SHARRINGTON The village of Sharrington is about three-and-a-half miles west of Holt and boasts a church dating from the 13th century and a medieval hall.

Holt is one of the most attractive small towns in Norfolk in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The town existed before the Norman invasion but was destroyed by fire in 1708. It had to be rebuilt and we're very lucky that the timing meant that the Georgian style was used. The main street is lined with colour-washed Georgian buildings, many of architectural importance. There are tea and coffee shops, lots of antique and curio shops, food shops and delicatessens, banks, independent shops and, of course, historic Gresham's School founded in 1555.
The north Norfolk coast at Blakeney is six miles away due north. There is good sailing, golf, bird-watching and many good beaches nearby. The North Norfolk Steam Railway has its terminus on the outskirts of the town and connects Holt with the seaside resort of Sheringham six miles away. The cathedral city of Norwich is just twenty-six miles distant. From Norwich there are direct trains to London Liverpool Street and Norwich Airport is a convenient worldwide gateway via Schiphol Airport.
