5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this highly individual chalet style property, occupying a generous plot with a large brick-built outbuilding, situated in the heart of Emneth. Originally built as the village school, the property was converted in the 1960's into a family home from where the owners operated a successful haulage business for many years. The property is now arranged into a main home with three double bedrooms, alongside a ground floor 2-bedroom annexe, with a shared entrance hall. The property would be ideal for three generations or two families sharing, with the outbuilding being the perfect facility for a car enthusiast or collector.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the main reception hall, where to one side there is a door into the annexe and opposite there are a pair double doors which open into the dining hall of the main house. The dining hall is at the centre of the ground floor, from where a staircase rises to the first-floor landing and a further pair of double doors open into the superbly proportioned family sitting room. The sitting room features a bay window to one side and a wood burning stove, as well as a pair of bi-folding doors which open into the conservatory on the south-facing wall. The kitchen comprises a range of timber fronted storage units under fitted work surfaces, with a free-standing range cooker, 1.5 bowl sink unit and plumbing/space for a dishwasher. There is an adjoining larder which offers a further range of storage units and fitted shelving.

The first floor bedroom accommodation is arranged along a corridor style landing, with three generously sized double rooms. The master enjoys the added luxury of an en-suite shower room, with bedroom 2 being equipped with one full wall of fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are served by a stylishly appointed family bathroom, with a central free-standing bath and separate shower enclosure.

The annexe includes another superbly proportioned sitting room with a conservatory, along with two bedrooms and a tiled shower room, all of which is arranged around an inner hall.

At the back of the main reception hall there is a useful boot room, with a door opening out to the courtyard garden at the rear. From the boot room there are further doors to the utility room and cloakroom.

OUTSIDE & OUTBUILDINGS

The property is approached over a private block-paved driveway, which measures approximately 60ft x 40ft and can accommodate a large number of vehicles or machinery. The gardens around the front and side of the house have been hard landscaped with seating areas and potted plants, making the most of the south-facing orientation at the front of the property. At the rear of the main house there is an enclosed courtyard with a log store and a side door into the workshop.

The workshop is an exceptional feature, measuring 17.8m x 8.8m and over 6m in height at the apex of the roof. The building is of brick construction, with windows to either side and 4.5m roller door opening to the driveway. The workshop was originally used as part of a haulage business and still has a central inspection pit. The building would be ideal for a collector or anyone looking for a secure storage/workshop space. There is also additional parking space to the side of the workshop.
