Set on about half an acre with uninterrupted countryside views, this Victorian six-bedroom detached home combines generous family living space with period character. Ground floor reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with electric Aga, utility and pantry provide versatile daily living and entertaining spaces. A driveway, double garage and useful outbuildings add practical value for vehicles, hobbies and storage.
Upstairs six large bedrooms, some with fireplaces and built-in storage, sit off a galleried landing; bedroom four has an en-suite while a family bathroom serves the remainder. Original features — sash windows, pamment tiled floors and fireplaces — give the house charm, but the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and many traditional elements will need sympathetic upgrading if greater energy efficiency is required.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating, very slow broadband and an unspecified glazing type. Council tax is described as quite expensive; the property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics. These are important for buyers to weigh against the size, setting and character on offer.
This is well suited to growing families seeking a long-term home with potential, or buyers wanting a character property in a semi-rural location close to Norwich. The layout and outbuildings also suit small-scale home business or hobby use, but expect some updating and energy-improvement work to modernise services and lower running costs.
