Summary - THE SCHOOL THETFORD ROAD FAKENHAM MAGNA THETFORD IP24 2QX
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached Bungalow
Spacious village bungalow with large garden and conversion potential.
Newly renovated Victorian school conversion with character features
A thoughtfully renovated Victorian schoolhouse conversion offering single-level living with period character and contemporary comfort. The large open-plan kitchen/dining space is bright and airy, with skylights, bifold doors and underfloor heating creating a strong indoor–outdoor connection to the mature rear garden. The sitting room retains character with a feature fireplace and panelling while three bedrooms (one used as a study) provide flexible family or home-office space.
The plot is a major strength: a generous, well-stocked garden with terraces, raised beds, greenhouse and a powered garden room ideal as a summerhouse or home office. Driveway parking to the front adds convenience. Practical details include oil-fired central heating, mains electric and water, and a septic tank for drainage.
There is clear scope to increase value: planning permission is already granted to convert the ample roof space into three double bedrooms plus an en-suite and family bathroom. The house sits in a conservation area in a quiet village setting close to Good-rated primary schools and local amenities, appealing to families seeking a character home with expansion potential.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: heating is oil-fired and drainage is via a septic tank, both of which may require different maintenance from mains gas/sewer systems. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area and lies within a conservation area, which may affect future alterations. Broadband is average and, while mobile signal is excellent, these practical points should be checked alongside the recent renovation details.
