A striking former Victorian schoolhouse, this four-bedroom character home sits on an unusually large, private plot close to Downham Market town centre. High ceilings, generous room proportions and original period details give a strong sense of heritage and space for family living.
The ground floor offers two formal reception rooms with central fireplaces, a snug, a substantial kitchen and separate utility. There is also a practical shower room and a usable cellar off the main hall. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, the largest extending to around 21ft, plus a family bathroom; the landing enjoys a wide view across the mature rear gardens.
Externally the property provides private level parking, a garage and a courtyard area to the front, with extensive mature gardens to the rear — an unusually large landscaped plot in such a central location. The rear stone facing retains strong character and links with neighbouring period homes.
This is a freehold property with genuine scope to modernise and adapt to contemporary family life. Key practical notes: the EPC rating is E and Council Tax is band F, so running costs are higher than average, and some internal areas have dated decor and will benefit from updating. For buyers seeking space, period charm and clear renovation potential in a low-crime, well-served town, this house presents rare opportunity.
