This substantial bay-fronted Victorian house occupies a mature, private plot of just under a quarter of an acre on Norwich Road, a short walk from Fakenham town centre. Generous room proportions across two floors include two bay-fronted reception rooms, four bedrooms with a master en-suite, and plentiful character features such as high ceilings, original fireplaces and an impressive entrance hall with original staircase.
The plot includes a shingled driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles and a private rear garden of around 100ft, enclosed by mature trees and hedging. An attached barn/workshop offers clear scope to convert into additional accommodation over two floors, subject to permissions — a useful opportunity to add value.
Practical drawbacks are factual: the property requires some modernisation, EPC rating F, cavity walls appear uninsulated, and council tax is high (Band F). Services are mains gas-fired central heating and standard utilities, but buyers should commission their own surveys and checks. The location benefits from low crime, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local schools, making it well suited to growing families seeking character and space.
Overall this is an attractive, adaptable period home with immediate living appeal and clear potential for refurbishment-led improvement.
