With its grand proportions, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a fully self-contained annexe, this is a rare opportunity to own a home of distinction in the heart of Norfolk.

Ground Floor
Stepping through the solid wood entrance door, you are welcomed into a spacious reception hall adorned with original caustic-tiled flooring and a graceful staircase. The principal reception rooms radiate sophistication, each with high ceilings, intricate detailing, and large sash windows that fill the space with natural light.

The drawing room is a statement in refinement, boasting a stunning square bay window that frames views of the mature gardens. An ornate cast iron fireplace serves as a focal point, complementing the beautifully restored wooden flooring. Adjacent is the library, featuring a wood-burning stove set within a brick-lined fireplace, creating a cosy yet grand atmosphere.

For those requiring a dedicated workspace, the study offers an inspiring setting, complete with a feature fireplace and views over Elvin Road.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room is a showcase of craftsmanship, fitted with bespoke handmade cabinetry, stone worktops, and a striking black and red tiled floor. The aga, original-style butler sink, and skylights enhance its character. A central island with a breakfast bar provides a perfect spot for casual dining, while the utility room and boot room add practicality, featuring an additional butler sink, extensive storage, and a charming shelved pantry.

Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with period-style fittings and a door leading to a private courtyard area.
