Description
A converted heritage property in a West Norfolk hamlet, with unique architectural features, walled courtyard, two large reception rooms, four en-suite bedrooms, and with easy access to amenities and mainline train station with fast services to London. This detached property has been cleverly converted from a mid-nineteenth-century foundry, with high ceilings, beams and exposed stone work, to create a stunning and luxurious family home. It is part of a small complex of five traditional farm buildings, converted into private homes in 2000. The accommodation stands in excess of 2500 square feet, has a versatile feel, and works brilliantly as a traditional home or for those looking for a holiday property.
Kitchen
Stainless steel sink, large pan drawer and space for fridge and freezer, or two wine coolers, and two-seater breakfast bar. Ceilings reach a height of approximately 16 feet, with both original oak beams and modern additions, for the ceiling light tracking. The room is double aspect, with large glazed, double doors onto the courtyard and patio dining area, and further windows onto the front and rear. The kitchen cabinets are bespoke made by local craftsmen and hand-painted with Farrow & Ball paint. There are granite work surfaces and under cabinet lighting. Tiled flooring in shades of terracotta. There are three sinks - one double 'butler' sink and a stainless steel sink, with 'insinkerator'. There is a large range-style cooker with two ovens, and six burners. This runs on bottled gas, which the vendors say is very efficient. There is an extractor hood. At the opposite end is a large kitchen island. This has Beyond the island is a large dining area. This has space for a table for 8, and an American side-by-side fridge. Heating is provided by Victorian-style tubular radiators. The conversion has preserved an original dovecote in the eaves, providing a further link to the original uses of the building.
Off the kitchen is a utility room, with further exposed stone and brick work, and tall ceilings. This has an internal door to the garage, and stable door to the back garden. There is plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, and a second butler sink. Flooring is stone, matching the hall and kitchen.
Reception Space
To the left of the entrance hall, down a step, you enter a large dining room with tall ceilings, roof beams and dark oak flooring, with boards at sawmill grade for a rustic, vintage look. Skirting is also oak. There is a tall window to the front, and another to the rear garden. There are two, further Victorian style radiators, and ceiling spotlights. Through single glass doors and down another small step is the sitting room. This has the same architectural features with the addition of a stunning brickwork, inglenook chimney, with log burner, which was the original foundry fireplace. This currently houses a grand piano, and large seating area. There are three further Victorian-style radiators, partially exposed chalk and stone work, and a second preserved dovecote. Two windows overlook the back garden, and another gives on to the front. There are French doors, with wide glass panels either side, leading onto the courtyard.
Bedrooms
Through a door in the sitting room you enter a bright corridor leading to the bedroom area. The corridor has oak flooring, and windows overlooking the courtyard, interspersed with oak panels along its length. The first bedroom has French doors, and a window on the side overlooking the side garden. There is a wooden lintel over the door, and exposed stone work. The en-suite, with bath and shower over, toilet and hand basin, is tiled and was refitted only two years ago. There are ceiling lights throughout this part of the house, and ceilings are lower. Doors are wooden, with latches. There are sconces recessed into the walls in several of the rooms, which can hold lighted candles, and add to the architectural interest of the conversion
A second bedroom has another set of French doors with side glass panels onto the side garden, and an en-suite shower room with toilet and basin - this was also upgraded within the last two years. Above these two rooms, accessed through a stable door in the corridor is a second boarded loft area.
The third bedroom is smaller, with en-suite shower and window overlooking the side garden. There is wool carpet in all the bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is large with French door and glass side panels opening onto the courtyard. It has a large en-suite with separate shower and roll top bath, fitted within the last two years, with a window overlooking rear garden.
External
The front of the property has a large courtyard with patio dining area, water feature, and low shrubs. The walls are stone and provide shelter and privacy. The rear garden is a complete contrast. It is fully fenced with a large lawn, and professionally designed borders for year-round flowering. Tucked away in the rear garden is a home office or studio, with eco-friendly sedum roof. This building has lighting and electricity, under-floor heating and air conditioning. It is well insulated and has been used as extra sleeping accommodation by the vendors. Behind this is a shed for storing garden equipment. The rear garden faces southeast and overlooks paddocks, with horses and sheep, with further fields beyond.
