Set on a generous, mature plot in Shipdham, this substantial detached house offers flexible living across two large floors — well suited to multi-generational families or buyers wanting separate living space. The home centres on an impressive 22-ft kitchen/dining area, a 20-ft orangery and a formal dining room, providing a strong footprint for everyday family life and entertaining. A ground-floor bedroom and a self-contained annexe increase adaptability for guests, elderly relatives or income generation (subject to consents).
Upstairs, five further bedrooms surround a central landing and include a principal suite with scope to add an en-suite. The accommodation benefits from mature character features alongside later sympathetic extensions. Practical extras include a separate utility, ground-floor WC and garage parking, plus double glazing (installation date unknown) and mains gas heating with radiators.
Buyers should note practical limitations: there are only two bathrooms to serve six bedrooms, broadband speeds are slow, and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which may necessitate energy-efficiency improvements. The annexe and any short‑stay lettings would require the necessary permissions. Overall, this property rewards buyers willing to invest in selective modernisation to realise its full potential.
