House For Sale £1,500,000
A handsome, elegantly presented and classically proportioned village house, with a welcoming ambience.
The Old Rectory with its handsome and well-balanced white brick façade with deep sash windows is a classic period village house and somewhat surprisingly not Listed.
Within, the elegant and well laid out accommodation extending to some 6,128 sq ft, flows well linking from a central reception hall with original pattern tiled flooring, to impressive and well-proportioned drawing and dining rooms. Both statement rooms have feature fireplaces and deep sash windows with working shutters. The dining room connects through to the AGA kitchen/breakfast room, set off which is a pantry, access to the cellar, as well as a very large utility/boot room.
The summer kitchen links through to a comfortable sitting room with French doors onto a south facing garden terrace and beyond is a library with attractive bay window, which in turn links back to the drawing room.
On the first floor, set off a central landing, the master suite includes a vaulted twin aspect bedroom, large dressing room with walk in wardrobe and luxury en suite double shower room. There are five further bedrooms, a family bathroom and second shower room, whilst on the second floor there are three further attic bedrooms and a fourth shower room.
The property benefits from a gas fired central heating system with a modern boiler and also has a security system.
OUTSIDE
Recessed white picket gates access an extensive parking and turning sweep to the front of the house with access to the brick triple garaging range with storage area above, which offers potential for the creation of a first studio or annexe accommodation as required (subject to planning).
The gardens are bordered by well maintained and mature evergreen hedging and lie principally to the south of the house and are laid mainly to lawn with shrub and herbaceous borders. There are two terraces with wisteria clad pergolas as well as an ornate summer house pagoda.
To the rear of the house is a service courtyard with timber shed and greenhouse, together with a separate gated drive access.
In all the property extends to about half an acre.
LOCATION
The picturesque and historic village of Palgrave with its thriving local community, attractive church, primary school and many period buildings is strategically located just one mile south of Diss. The nearby town, with its picturesque market square, offers a full range of shopping and commercial facilities, as well as main line rail services running to London’s Liverpool Street station in about 90 minutes and the Norfolk’s cathedral city of Norwich in 20 minutes.
The A143 which bypasses the village provides a direct link to Bury St Edmunds (20 miles) and the A14 which in turn accesses Cambridge and Midlands as well as London and Stansted Airport (via the A11).
