Summary - OLD BAKERY OLD POST OFFICE STREET SHIPDHAM THETFORD IP25 7PQ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious historic family home with private walled gardens and parking.
Over 2,500 sq ft of flexible living space
This handsome Grade‑II‑era village home blends original 1700s character with versatile, family-friendly living across more than 2,500 sq ft. Multiple reception rooms — including a snug with the original bakery ovens, inglenook fireplaces and wood‑burning stoves — give flexible space for everyday life and entertaining. The large open‑plan kitchen and dining area links to a bright garden room and useful pantry and utility for practical family routines.
Externally the southwest-facing garden is a major asset: extensively redesigned with high flint and clay‑lump brick boundaries for privacy, paved terraces, pergolas and several seating areas. A gravel driveway, gated access and additional enclosed parking at the rear provide secure off‑street parking for several vehicles. The layout also offers clear potential to create a self‑contained annexe for extended family use or rental income.
Practical updates include a boiler replaced five years ago, recent exterior repainting and double glazing (install date not recorded). Note this is a solid‑walled, pre‑1900 property where cavity insulation is not present; an energetic upgrade may be needed to improve thermal performance and running costs. The EPC is D and some historic features mean future maintenance and sympathetic repairs should be expected.
Set in Shipdham village, the house sits close to local amenities, a good primary school and easy access to Dereham’s shops and services. For families seeking a characterful, spacious home with private gardens and parking, this property offers rare scale and adaptability in a peaceful Norfolk village setting.
