Old Norwich Road, Marsham, Norwich, Norfolk, NR10

Stylish period home sat within quarter of an acre plot.

Description

Foundry House is a stylish period property which has undergone a process of renovation by our current owners to create a characterful and flexible home. The property features a stunning kitchen/dining extension set under a superb skylight for natural light and benefits from double doors out into the gardens. With its wooden floor, white countertops and sleek green wall and base level units, this most impressive room is sure to impress. Two reception rooms provide spacious family accommodation via a large sitting room and flexible second room that could either be a snug, formal dining room or playroom if desired.

To the first floor are three bedrooms including the principal with an en suite and a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms. Both of these have been sympathetically modernised with high quality Burlington fixtures. A fourth double bedroom has been created in the former cellar.

The property has a blue plaque marking the house for historic interest. It is the former residence of local inventor Samuel George Soane born 1837 who became known for creating steam powered fairground rides and then later a steam powered wooden cart. He developed the iron smithy in Marsham where his engineering firm was based and the rides manufactured.

Outside
The property sits within a plot of about a quarter of an acre and is approached via a gravel driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles as well as a double cart lodge. The rear garden provides an expanse of lawn fully enclosed by fencing as well as a walled courtyard with decking area and pergola, perfect for outdoor cooking and entertaining. A useful workshop as well as outdoor office provide both secure storage as well as an ideal place to work from home.
