Description

The Old Bull...

This extraordinary home which is believed to date back to the mid 1500's, offers a wealth of versatile living throughout its myriad of varying floors and levels. There is a significant sense of historical importance within the architectural details, from the aging beams, winding staircases and grand fireplaces to the servant's punishment cell and disguised Priest hole, all an absolute delight for those who appreciate beautifully preserved character.

Stepping across the ancient threshold, the abundance of enchanting character can be found at every turn as you move from room to room. The main sitting room, vast in size yet with great versatility within the layout as you move towards to the dining area, cosier snug area and through to the rear hallway, all quite open plan with a wonderful natural flow. Utilising which would have been quite a redundant and large space, the sub floor level has been converted into the eat-in kitchen area, perhaps the most modern room yet still sympathetically designed around the vast open fireplace, just one of many to be found throughout the floors above.
In addition to the main sitting room, scale a few aging steps up to the second living space, a slightly cosier alternative where again your focus is drawn to the magnificent Inglenook fireplace complete with winding staircase above to take you directly to the Principal suite. A separate staircase from the cosy family room leads you to the landing, where two double bedrooms and the main family bath and shower suite can be found.
Explore further up the last remaining winding staircase to the attic suite, where a stunning Copper bathtub greets you on arrival. With vaulted ceilings framed by aging silvered beams, the attic suite evokes sumptuous tones through the dramatic Moroccan inspired décor, a spacious room with a good degree of privacy from the rest of the sprawling house below.

More than any singular element, it is the scale and atmosphere which makes this home so distinctive. There is a sense of living, breathing cultural history within the bones of this building and it simply is one of the most remarkable homes we have ever seen or brought to the market.


Outside...

Nestled within the heart of the village, all amenities lead straight from the front door. The garden to the rear has double gates from the road side, allowing further off-road parking if required. With plenty of space to enjoy the warmer months from the dining terrace to the lawn, outside is as versatile as inside.

Franks Thoughts...
A perfectly preserved slice of history, where surprises hide at every turn and a vast footprint allows for every degree of versatility you could hope for. It is simply glorious...

About me

Given my family background of Architects, Property Development and Interior Design, property was an inevitable destination for me and my career and one that I have since fallen passionately and head over heels for since joining the estate agency world. Having spent a number of years working for a large corporate agency, it struck me what an important role an estate agent can play at such a significant time for most buyers and sellers but more interestingly what a difference an agent who actually cares can make...

We all know the reputation that estate agents carry around, I too have seen the distain on people's faces once you drop the bombshell “I’m an estate agent”, my response has often been “oh, but I am not one of those agents, I really care about what I do, I really help people and I love it!”.

Having helped hundreds of people move over the years, it became more apparent that people recognised that I was different to other agents, that I really did care and that my transparent method of working with all clients was quite simply, refreshingly Frank.

Frank Estate Agency is my opportunity to continue helping people to move, being able to be that constant pillar of support through every bend in the house buying and selling journey and fulfilling as many house dreams as possible along the way.

Living locally in South Lowestoft, I feel blessed every day to live in such a beautiful part of the country. My two sons attend local schools and certainly keep my hands full, in addition to my two beautiful house cats who remain firmly in charge of our household and my husband.

And this is where Frank can continue to make a difference...

Free from the constraints from the world of corporate agency where the advice is often given to clients to fulfil their own bottom line, at Frank we have the freedom to offer impartial and refreshingly Frank advice.
