North Burlingham

Standing proud within the grounds of Burlingham Hall, a former grand country house estate stretching for many thousands of acres, this extraordinary home presents a most unique opportunity to continue the impassioned renovation of an idiosyncratic property formed of the original Estate Office, Grooms Cottage, Stabling & Coach House.

With a location so idyllic and private, it is easy to forget that this historic oasis is only 9 miles from the city of Norwich and 11 miles from the famous Norfolk coastline.

Having undergone an inspired schedule of renovation under the current ownership, this fascinating home offers spacious accommodation at the heart of the property, whilst an extensive array of unconverted accommodation stretches to a further 3773 sq. ft. - a brilliantly exciting opportunity to further renovate and develop what is truly a 'one-of-a-kind' property. Additional useful outbuildings total a further 801 sq. ft.

Some fittings have been salvaged from the Hall and original auxiliary buildings, including a fine Victorian linen press in the entrance hall. Character features adorn every corner of the home.

It is clear that this is a property not only with many a story to tell, but one that can adapt to accompany the most fulfilling and idiosyncratic of countryside lifestyles.

Clear potential can be found around every turn with extensive unconverted haylofts, stables and further barn outbuildings flanking the main cottage itself.

Amongst the finest features of the residence are the enchanting grounds in which it sits. The 6.8 acres (STMS) of idyllic gardens are but a fraction of the once commanding country estate of which this site was the nerve centre. The peaceful and majestic setting was, in part, due to the influence of Humphrey Repton, widely regarded as the last master of the classic phase of English Landscape Gardens, and an example of his trademark 'Ha-Ha' sits on the eastern boundary.

Beyond the elaborate "Reptons Gate" one will find woodland where handsome specimen trees thought to be hundreds of years old are around every corner - a wellingtonia, a cedar and a huge monkey puzzle keep watch over the ancient grounds. Formal walled gardens have been lovingly revived by the current owners and must be seen to be believed whilst a magical area of grass under the dappled shade of trees to the front show evidence of the foundations where the great hall once stood; now an oasis where deer graze and extraordinary family memories await.
