Impressive 5-Bedroom Home With Detached 2-Bedroom Annexe

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present Summerfield House, a stunning five-bedroom Victorian residence, ideally located in the popular market town of Dereham. Dating back to 1882, this impressive home showcases elegant Regency-style architecture and a wealth of character features throughout. The spacious and well-presented accommodation offers five reception rooms and five double bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for modern family life, home working, or multi-generational living. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.65 acres (stms), the property is privately positioned behind mature hedging with a grand double-gated entrance and a sweeping in-and-out driveway. A standout feature is the former coach house, now converted into a versatile self-contained two-bedroom annexe, currently used as a commercial office space. This additional accommodation offers fantastic potential for rental income, guest quarters, or further workspace. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, character-filled family home in a private setting, just a short walk from Dereham town centre, complete with a spacious garden and detached annexe.
Accommodation

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall with high ceilings and beautiful parquet flooring, immediately reflecting the charm and quality evident throughout the home. At the front of the house are two impressive bay-fronted reception rooms, which both serve as fantastic entertaining spaces, with one being utilised as the main living area and the other as a formal dining room. The dining room also features French doors that open out onto the raised terrace, which is ideal for relaxing in the summer months. Moving further through the property, the generous proportions continue with three additional and highly versatile reception rooms. These rooms are currently configured to support the owners’ business operations, offering an ideal setup for those looking to work from home or run a business. The largest of these reception rooms is located at the rear of the home and would make an ideal informal dining space due to its proximity to the kitchen. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of matching storage units and a large gas cooker set within an alcove next to the large feature fireplace with a charming log burner. The kitchen also extends into a breakfast area, where you will find further storage units and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Conveniently located next to the kitchen is a useful utility area which houses the gas boiler along with plumbing/space for a washing machine.

Upstairs, you will find five generously proportioned bedrooms arranged around a large central landing. The master bedroom is an impressively sized double room which enjoys views of the garden and boasts a large ensuite bathroom with a separate WC. The remaining four bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a bath, separate shower, WC, and twin wash basins.
Outside

The property is approached via a private in-and-out driveway, which provides ample off-road parking with additional parking found to the side of the home. To the rear of the property is a large private walled garden, which is laid mainly to lawn and bordered by a range of established trees and bushes. A paved terrace adjacent to the main house offers the perfect spot for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. There is also a delightful courtyard area to the side of the home, which connects the main house with the annexe and additional storage rooms.
The coach house annexe

Positioned within the grounds is the former coach house, which has been converted into a fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe. Currently used as a commercial office, the building offers immense potential for a variety of uses. Whether you are looking for separate guest accommodation, a rental opportunity (subject to permissions), or additional workspace, this building offers the flexibility and independence many buyers seek. The annexe is accessed via its own entrance and enjoys a generous internal layout with two bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, and bathroom. In addition to this, there are several adjoining brick-built stores, which could be adapted to suit a range of purposes or retained for practical storage.
