House For Sale £450,000
This charming Victorian property, elegantly positioned away from the main thoroughfare on a highly sought-after road, is crafted with a red brick and a porticoed façade. The home exudes the timeless allure of a prosperous house from the mid-nineteenth century.
The current owners have tirelessly renovated this property up to the high standard that you see today. They have been extremely sympathetic to the original features that grace the property, even going to great lengths to find items that would normally be found in a property of this age.
Entering the property, we arrive into a warm and welcoming hallway. One of the first few features you notice is the wood panelling, high ceilings, and cast-iron radiator. There is a staircase directly in front of you that ascends to the first floor with a delicate wooden hand-crafted handrail.
Coming off the hallway on the left is the first of three generously sized reception rooms. Currently used as the sitting room, there is a lovely usable open fire with marble surround which is the statement piece in this room, the ideal place to be in colder winter months. Double doors open into another reception room of similar size, which can also be accessed via the hallway. This room has a large oak surround and ornamental reclaimed fireplace.
Walking further through the house we arrive at the dining room. The atmospheric log-burner adds a sense of cosiness in this room, where many celebrations have taken place over the years.
The modern kitchen, with wooden worktops, beams, and pamment flooring pays homage to the period of the property, whilst harmoniously balancing modern touches such as an induction hob and double fan assisted ovens. The breakfast bar facing the window looks out onto the garden. Finishing off the ground floor is a shower room and utility come boot room, with a new gas boiler fitted in 2021 and an un-vented pressurised hot water system.
Ascending to the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles and the fourth a well-proportioned single bedroom. There is also a family bathroom with a rolltop bath and a wall hung period sink and tap.
Outside, this home offers ample front-facing parking, whilst gated access leads to an enclosed west-facing garden. Our clients have found the garden is bathed in sun throughout the afternoon and into evening. There is also a private rear courtyard and an additional covered seating area providing shade on the sunniest of days.
This residence seamlessly combines historic elegance with modern convenience, offering a sophisticated living experience in a coveted location.
DEREHAM Nestled in the Brecklands, in the heart of the county, Dereham is a classic country market town and an architectural haven with plenty of Georgian gems set on generous plots, blended with more recent developments.
In the eighth century, it is said that the youngest daughter of Anna, King of East Anglia, prayed for a miracle during a famine and two deer appeared every day to provide milk for the nunnery she had founded. When a huntsman tried to snare the deer, he was thrown from his horse – believed to be an act of divine retribution – and killed. The hunt is depicted on a town sign at the entry to Butter Market from the High Street.
Today, a twice weekly market, on Tuesdays and Fridays, along with a strong cohort of independent and specialist shops and free parking make the town a fabulous place for an afternoon spent browsing. Look out for the town's other historic landmarks which include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, a heritage line which runs 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, Dereham Windmill, a Grade II listed building which was saved from the brink of destruction, and Bishop Bonner's Cottage, established in 1502 and believed to be the oldest building in town.
Heritage buffs are spoilt for choice with living museum Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse just a few minutes out of town, or step back in time and adventure at Castle Acre Castle and Priory, an 11th century monastic site, and National Trust property Oxburgh Hall, which is half an hour's drive away.
When you've worked up an appetite exploring, spice things up with a tasty dish at Spice Fusion curry house or head to The George Hotel, Bar and Restaurant which offers excellent accommodation, freshly cooked food and award winning ales, wines, beers and spirits . Brisley, 6.5 miles away, is home to one of Norfolk's best pubs, The Brisley Bell, with a first-rate menu and a warm welcome which has earned it multiple awards. Otherwise head to The Old Dairy in Stanfield and stock up on its artisan bread and produce for an easy dine-in experience.
With good local schools, a leisure centre and golf course, Dereham and its surrounding villages are a fantastic spot to enjoy the best of Norfolk country living with easy commuting access to Norwich and the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea, just 22 miles away. Come discover a Norfolk gem.
