Description

SITUATION AND LOCATION The Old School is a charming and delightful detached period home enjoying a lovely position in this popular West Norfolk village and standing in its own beautifully laid out gardens which command a high degree of privacy and extend to nearly one acre (subject to survey). Originally a single storey Victorian school house, the property was subsequently converted into a two storey dwelling house and has in more recent years been further extended and modernised, now providing well laid out and substantially proportioned comfortable accommodation with quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

The extremely spacious lounge/family room extends to nearly 40ft and includes a large Inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The bespoke farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room includes solid oak cabinets by 'Fired Earth' as well as a large Aga range cooker and is further complimented by a utility room. In addition there is a large dining room with French doors onto the paved sun terrace.

To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the master bedroom suite including a large quality en suite bathroom incorporating roll top bath and separate shower cubicle and there is also a family shower room. Other benefits include a full oil fired central heating system and hardwood framed sealed unit double glazed windows.

Without a doubt, the delightful landscaped gardens are an outstanding feature of this wonderful home. The front garden itself is beautifully laid with neat lawns and an extensive paved driveway in Indian sandstone. The lovely rear gardens are also well screened with extensive lawns, paved sun terrace and array of shrubs, bushes and trees. Also located within the garden attached to the rear of the garage is a studio bungalow/small annexe, ideal for visiting guests, a teenage den or accommodation for a family member.

The Old School really does have it all. Charm, location, size and beautiful gardens. The sale of this property represents a unique opportunity and early viewings are highly recommended.
