6 bed detached house for sale

Watton Road, Shropham, Attleborough, Norfolk NR17

Substantial, modernised, Grade II listed Georgian home

Description
Shropham House is a substantial, Grade II listed house offering both characterful and stylish accommodation. Having been renovated by the current owners, the house offers ample family home living space as well as potential for multi-generational living. With grounds of about two acres and a real sense of quality throughout, Shropham House is a must see home.

A thoughtful renovation and interior design has led to Shropham House being one of the finest Georgian homes on the market in Norfolk. The property boasts abundant space but with a real practicality of each room fulfilling its purpose.

The ground floor consists of a grand entrance hall and this leads through to the reception rooms. With both a separate sitting room and drawing room, family living space is well served and both of these rooms are of excellent proportions. A more formal dining room is adjacent to a cleverly installed bar room which demonstrates the social nature of the house and a final reception room makes for an ideal games room.
A modernised Kitchen/breakfast room spanning over 40ft in length brings a touch of modern to the old thanks to its bi-folding doors out to an inner courtyard and with its central island unit it creates a hub of the house. The ground floor is completed by a useful utility room, boot room, cloak room and shower room.

To the first floor are six bedrooms including the principal suite which benefits from an en suite as well as a large dressing room. This dressing room could be used as a 7th bedroom if required as it has a separate access from the landing. The remaining bedrooms are served via three family bathrooms. A separate home office is found on the Eastern wing of the first floor and with its dual aspect it makes or an ideal place to work from home.

Outside
Shropham House sits within a plot of about two acres and is approached via an “in and out” driveway providing ample off road parking for several vehicles as well as leading to the garaging and outbuildings.

The grounds are mainly laid to lawn and feature a variety of trees and shrubs as well as beds. An inner courtyard off the kitchen is ideal for private entertaining and a patio terrace within the grounds usefully enjoys a nearby summerhouse with power and lighting, making it perfect for use as an outdoor kitchen preparation area. The current owners refurbished a garden room within the grounds to be able to enjoy the aspect into the garden and to be able to eat outside all year round.

Several useful outbuildings are in situ including the former coach house which now provides scope for a variety of uses such as potential conversion into an annexe to provide multi-generational living or perhaps a holiday let of which there is full planning in place for currently.
