4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Well House is a superb individual period house believed to date back to the early 1800s and built of partly colour washed brick and flint walls under a pantiled roof on the outskirts of the charming rural village of Fulmodeston.  The property offers an exciting opportunity to purchase a period property with bags of character in this popular village having undergone in more recent years a thorough conversion into a large family home and a programme of renovation and improvements by the current owners.

There is flexible and well laid out living accommodation briefly comprising a reception hall, kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility and cloakroom, dining room, study area and a snug which could also provide a ground floor bedroom 4.  The hub of the house, however, is a good sized sitting room with an exposed brick fireplace and 3 sets of patio doors leading into a stunning oak framed garden room.  2 separate staircases lead to 2 landings giving access to an en suite principal bedroom and a second bedroom with a large dressing room and patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the rear gardens and countryside beyond.  There is also a further double bedroom upstairs and a family bathroom.

Traditional features abound including 2 fireplaces housing wood burning stoves, latch doors, pamment tiled floors to the ground floor and reclaimed pine floorboards upstairs with impressive full height vaulted ceilings to the 2 main bedrooms.  More modern benefits include oil-fired central heating, a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room with LPG connection for cooking, 2 luxury bathrooms and timber double glazed windows and doors.

The property stands in delightful gardens and grounds amounting to approximately 0.65 acre (subject to survey) comprising a beautifully landscaped rear garden which backs onto countryside, pretty gravelled gardens to the front and useful outside store and driveway parking.

The Well House has been a much loved permanent home for the current owners but would also suit those buyers looking for a character second home with holiday lettings potential in a convenient location for the local market towns and Norwich.
