Detached house in grounds of about 5.5 acres situated in delightful countryside position
Description
Norfolk House is a superbly positioned country home situated in a pleasant position on the edge of the village of Yelverton. Offering an excellent lifestyle thanks to a plot of about 5.5 acres but also benefitting from a very commutable journey into Norwich city centre about 8 miles away. Properties which combine both the amount of land, proximity to the city and the sense of privacy that the house offers are an incredibly rare find and so the house must be viewed to be appreciated.
The property is believed to have origins in the 1930’s but with later additions which have created the special, family sized home that it is today.
The ground floor consists of a modern kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room with wood burner which leads through into a garden room taking advantage of the excellent outside views, a formal dining room with feature fireplace and a multi-purpose snug room which could be used as a play room, tv room or office space if desired and again complete with a cosy wood burner.
To the first floor are five bedrooms including the principal room with an en suite and fitted furniture and the remaining rooms then served via a family bathroom. Four of these are double rooms with the fifth being an excellent child’s room or perhaps a study.
Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing space for several vehicles with further secure parking available within the double integral garage. The formal gardens around the property boast excellent screening and levels of privacy thanks to several mature shrubs and trees. The area is mainly laid to lawn with a patio terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Beyond the garden lies excellent paddocks which already features 3’6” high tensile fencing, water and power as well as stabling. Additional stabling is situated adjacent to the main house. This could provide adequate use for equestrian purposes or other livestock or just allow a purchaser to enjoy a slice of Norfolk countryside to call their own. There is separate access to the paddocks at the bottom of the land via a small entrance on Church Road.
Location
The property is situated in a peaceful position on the edge of the village of Yelverton. There is a village primary school in the nearby village of Alpington about half a mile away. Good everyday shopping facilities including a doctors’ surgery are available in the village of Poringland which is about 3 miles. Norwich, the Cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, is about 7 miles away and features ranges of national shopping retailers as well as independent shops and an array of leisure activities. Norwich train station features a main line link to London Liverpool Street with a fastest journey time of 1 hour and 50 minutes.
