Offering over 2,160 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation (stms), this truly distinctive home combines generous proportions, exceptional versatility and an abundance of original character.
From the moment you arrive, the property's unique heritage is evident, with a striking Norfolk blue flint exterior, exposed beams and impressive high ceilings creating a wonderful sense of history and grandeur. The sympathetically modernised interior has been thoughtfully designed to complement the building's character while providing the flexibility demanded by contemporary family life.
A welcoming entrance hall leads through to four versatile reception rooms, providing an array of options for entertaining, relaxing, hobbies or working from home. At the heart of the property, the spacious kitchen blends traditional character with contemporary fittings and features a sociable central island, making it an ideal space for everyday family life and entertaining.
Upstairs, five generous bedrooms, all conveniently accessed from the central landing, provide excellent accommodation for a growing family, visiting guests or those requiring dedicated home-working space. The bedrooms are complemented by a luxurious four-piece family bathroom, while a useful ground-floor WC adds further convenience.

To the front, a sweeping driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to an impressive 25' garage and store room, offering exceptional storage and practical potential.
