House For Sale £550,000
We’re delighted to present this wonderful four bedroom semi-detached home in the heart of the thriving Norfolk Broads village of Hoveton.
Originally built in 1910 as the home of the local bank manager, St. Gregory’s has occupied a prominent position at the heart of the Norfolk Broads village of Hoveton for over 100 years, and whilst the property has been improved by a succession of owners during this time, it remains full of traditional character and charm.
From the moment you step across the threshold, through the timber doorway with expansive stained glass panelling, you immediately gain a sense of the history within this home. The high ceilings and large windows are typical of Edwardian architecture, and ensure that the interior of this home is bright and airy with plenty of natural light throughout the day. The rooms are well-proportioned, and the entrance hall makes a suitably impressive statement with the wide staircase leading up to the two floors above, hinting at the scale and scope of the accommodation on offer in this delightful property.
Edwardian homes of this stature tend to focus their architectural emphasis on the rooms at the front of the house, and this property is no exception. The well appointed dining room is at the front of the property - the perfect place for welcoming guests, whilst the drawing room in the centre of the house is a more intimate living space. Both rooms have traditional fireplaces - the dining room is conveniently gas, with an impressive marble hearth, and the living room is home to a wonderful Art Nouveau open fire.
To the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen and breakfast room offers the perfect informal space to cook and socialise, and the modern conservatory links the kitchen and living room perfectly, providing a further dining area for the summer months and giving access to the generous and private gardens to the rear of the property.
In recent years, St. Gregory’s has operated as a successful bed and breakfast, and on the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, with the third benefiting from a shower enclosure within the room. The spacious master bedroom is at the front of the property, with a generous shower room adjoining, whilst to the rear, a delightful dual aspect suite with bathroom and separate cloakroom would make the ideal guest accommodation.
Perhaps the most surprising space is the bedroom on the second floor. Currently in use as an artist’s studio, this bright and cheery room benefits from vaulted ceilings and inspiring views across the rooftops of Hoveton towards the River Bure at the heart of this Norfolk Broads village.
The twin villages of Wroxham and Hoveton lie either side of the River Bure, and are known as the Capital of the Broads for good reason. Home to a number of boatyards and a wealth of amenities, in the summertime Hoveton is a bustling tourist destination welcoming visitors to the picturesque Norfolk Broads National Park.
Approximately eight miles north-east of the cosmopolitan city of Norwich, and only 30 minutes from the wide skies and expansive beaches of the Norfolk coast, Hoveton is well located to take advantage of all that Norfolk has to offer, with easy access by road and rail.
St. Gregory’s is within easy reach of the primary and secondary schools, supermarket, post office, medical centre and department store which can be found within the village, and represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial character property in a prominent location within the village.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the wealth of accommodation on offer, and is exclusively available through Pendefords - the individual property specialists.
