This countryside home beautifully combines its traditional charm with modern amenities, creating a much-loved family home ready for you to move into. It was built in 1891 and was modernised by the railways in 1923. The property was owned by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway and was the 19th Gatehouse for the 'muddle and go no-where' line which ran between Melton Constable and Norwich City. The line ran outside the window of what is now the living room with the 'gatekeeper' able to see when the train was arriving and open the gate accordingly. There are several other gatehouses which have also been converted into homes along the old line, and the village of Guestwick contains the old railways Station House and Gatehouse 20.
LOCATION Guestwick is a picturesque village located in North Norfolk, England. Guestwick is situated four miles from Reepham, eight miles from Holt, nine miles from the market town of Fakenham and eleven miles from East Dereham. The cultural city of Norwich is an eighteen mile drive whilst the coast is only twelve miles away. The village is spread over several miles of countryside and it is highly unusual for a property to come to the market in this rural location. Guestwick offers a peaceful and idyllic setting for its residents, with a Village Church & Village Hall. Foulsham is a small town only two miles away and benefits from having a village shop, a public house and churches. Guestwick is in catchment for the primary school in Foulsham & Reepham and also the High School and 6th Form in Reepham.
GATEHOUSE 19 This stunning rural property is of historical interest and a practical family home whilst benefitting from breath taking views of the local countryside. The large driveway provides ample off-road parking for family and visitors. When you step into this beautiful home you are instantly greeted by a welcoming ambiance of being within the heart of the home. This kitchen boasts high quality units in a countryside green that's sure to be a winner in today's interior favourites and blends seamlessly with the home's traditional features. Amidst the modern elements, you will spot a classic 4 oven AGA, which infuses the kitchen as the true heart of this family home with timeless appeal. The kitchen offers plenty of storage space, alongside space for modern amenities such as a dishwasher, plumbed in American style fridge freezer, & washing machine (hidden). The cosy living room welcomes you with its spacious layout, allowing your freestanding furniture to find its place and offer a comfortable spot to unwind and relax. The focal point of the room is the fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for evenings or chilly winter nights.
The room off the living room (with access to outside via a lobby) is a versatile and handy addition to this home, currently being used as a playroom. It has the potential to be an office with FTTP (fibre to premises) internet if you're looking to run your business from home or could be a hobby room or fourth bedroom.
This property benefits from three / four bedrooms, functional for family living, two of which are fitted with built-in double wardrobes. The family bathroom comprises of a hand wash basin and bathtub with rainfall shower and a separate WC. This property is able to accommodate family members and guests with ease.
The wrap around garden is truly a sight to behold, complementing the beauty of the house itself. There are two patio areas charmingly presented by the current owners with their outdoor furniture, to enjoy all your al-fresco dining parties during the summer months. As you explore the garden, you'll notice the presence of flower beds which surround the garden & patio areas, raised planters contain a small strawberry patch and herb garden, everywhere you look there are fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. There is a manicured laid to lawn garden, with a 20' fully fiberglassed & filtered Koi pond with waterfall that adds an extra touch of beauty and tranquility (due to the filtration system which has been installed this could easily be converted into a swimming pool). The rear patio includes a barked area where there is fun play equipment, an insulated summer house which is currently used as a gym and seating area, children's summer house and a large storage shed (all three outhouses have electricity). Overall, this enjoyable space is privately enclosed so you can unwind in seclusion.
