Set on The Green in Aldborough, Penfold is a detached three-bedroom house that combines genuine period character with practical modern upgrades. Re-fitted kitchen and bathrooms, exposed beams, pamment flooring and a wood-burner in the lounge give the house a comfortable, lived-in feel while retaining its historic charm.
The ground floor flows well for family life: a bespoke kitchen with oil-fired Aga and pantry, a dining area with underfloor heating, and a spacious lounge with a curved sash window and wood burner. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill en-suite; the Norfolk winder staircase is a characterful feature but is narrow and may be awkward for some users.
Outside, the property sits on a large plot with off-road parking, a well-stocked rear garden, and useful outbuildings including a games room, home office and utility area. These spaces add flexibility for working from home, hobbies or storage. Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and underfloor heating in places, walls are original solid brick likely without cavity insulation, there is no mobile signal on-site and broadband speeds are average.
This home will suit buyers seeking a village lifestyle and period features who are happy with some trade-offs — notably the heating fuel type and solid-wall construction — or who may wish to invest in energy upgrades. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the plot, the outbuildings and the village green setting.
