7 bedroom detached house for sale

Set back from the road and discreetly screened from the activity of village life, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway that provides ample parking and leads to an attractive brick-built three-bay cart shed.

The house immediately impresses with its striking façade and bay-fronted elevations, while inside it retains a wealth of original character, including high ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, and charming period detailing throughout.

Over time, the home has been thoughtfully extended to enhance its practicality for modern living while preserving its traditional warmth and presence. A selection of generous reception rooms offers superb flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed day-to-day life, complemented by a large conservatory to the side enjoying views across the front garden. The country-style kitchen forms the heart of the home, centred around a farmhouse table and traditional Aga, creating a welcoming and sociable space.

The main house provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfortable accommodation and a pleasant outlook. To the rear, the former school room has been cleverly converted into a contemporary one-bedroom holiday let, currently run as a successful guest retreat. This space could equally serve as an annexe, making it ideal for multi-generational living or those seeking additional income potential.

Surrounding the property, the gardens are a particular delight - mature, private, and richly planted with established trees and shrubs, offering seclusion and colour in every direction. Rarely does a home of such stature, character, and flexibility come to the market, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a distinguished period residence in one of Norfolk’s most desirable settings.
