A rare, substantial period home near the Norfolk Broads, this extended 1690s house sits within a walled 0.48 acre plot and provides almost 4,000 sq ft of flexible living. The house combines original character—exposed beams, brick fireplaces and wood burners—with modern extensions: a 19' kitchen with central island, an 18' fitted utility and four first-floor en suites.
The ground floor offers formal and informal reception rooms (sitting room, snug and a 24' L-shaped dining room) and generous storage. Upstairs there are six double bedrooms in total; two top-floor bedrooms sit within the eaves and two large storage rooms have previously been used as bedrooms or a study. Many principal rooms are bright and dual-aspect, and several bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating.
Outside, mature planting, a feature pond, gated gravel drive, garage and plentiful parking create a private, family-friendly setting. The plot offers scope for further outbuildings or landscaping projects, subject to consents.
Practical considerations: the property is a historic, solid-brick build (pre-1900) so insulation is limited and ongoing maintenance will be required; council tax is relatively high and broadband speeds are average. The neighbourhood skews older and the wider area is a semi-rural, small-town fringe, which suits buyers seeking tranquillity rather than urban buzz.
