Summary - OLD SCHOOL HOUSE SNETTERTON NORTH END SNETTERTON NORWICH NR16 2LD
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Historic family home with large plot and development potential.
Approximately 2,500 sq ft period residence with original features
A rare piece of Norfolk history, The Old School House (c.1826) offers generous period accommodation across approximately 2,500 sq ft. The house retains original character, high ceilings and large schoolroom-style windows, now laid out as five bedrooms, two reception rooms, and flexible ancillary space including a garage and garden room. The main bedroom benefits from a balcony, dressing room and en suite. The property sits on about 0.5 acre with a separate side garden (90ft x 70ft) that includes a 30ft x 15ft swimming pool and BBQ area — ideal for family entertaining.
The site includes a potential 100ft x 40ft building plot (subject to planning) and ample off-road parking, making it attractive to families looking for space or buyers considering a limited redevelopment opportunity. Services include mains electricity and water, oil central heating with boiler and radiators, LPG provision, and a septic tank with soakaway.
Important practical points: the house is only partially renovated and sold with second-fixings and internal decoration required, reflected in the price. The EPC is F and council tax is band F (described as expensive), so buyers should budget for energy and running costs. Broadband information is inconsistent in the paperwork — one source lists FTTP but local data records slow speeds; prospective purchasers should verify connectivity and any service covenants before exchange.
This property suits buyers who value historic character and space and who are prepared to complete renovation works or invest in the site’s development potential. Its rural hamlet setting offers tranquillity yet reasonable commuter access via the A11 and proximity to Snetterton Race Circuit and local amenities.
