Coltishall

Set in the heart of the most popular Broadland village stands a very handsome Grade II listed Georgian home. When the current owners bought the property, they loved the seclusion the property had, whilst still being very much part of the village, and within walking distance of local amenities.

The sweeping drive takes you on the journey to what lies within. The house itself is elegant and offers an abundance of period detailing, with a welcoming entrance which sets the scene upon entrance.

The dual aspect drawing room is flooded with natural light and has a beautiful period fireplace. The property offers many opportunities to socialise, with access straight into the dining room, where many a dinner party or Christmas meal can be had.

For a tranquil reception space, the sitting room exudes calmness and features a period fireplace. It also provides access to the conservatory, offering delightful views of the garden.

The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for cooking, providing ample storage, workspace, and includes an AGA stove. Adjacent to the kitchen is a playroom with a cloakroom, a separate utility room, and access to the cellar. The games room on the ground floor is incredibly versatile and can serve various purposes.

Additionally, there is access to the heated indoor swimming pool.

The first floor offers a well-balanced layout, ideal for a growing family or accommodating extended guests. Towards the front of the house, the principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, as well as ample wardrobe space and beautiful views.

Additionally, there is a guest suite with an en-suite bathroom, five other well-appointed bedrooms, two family bathrooms, and a separate cloakroom.

The sweeping driveway past the lawned front garden is adorned with mature boundary hedging that provides ample privacy. There is parking available at both the side and rear of the property.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres (STMS), such a rare find within a Broadland village. The majority of the grounds are laid to lawn and adorned with a diverse array of specimen trees and native hedging. Nestled within the property is a secure and fenced hard tennis court, a delightful feature tucked away within the grounds.

The range of outbuildings to the rear are connected to the main house via the games room, with links to the pool room. There is also garaging, as well as a first-floor studio space with kitchenette and cloak/shower room.

In addition, you are blessed with a wooden gate to the northwest corner that provides a footpath leading to the Bure Valley Railway.

COLTISHALL
Coltishall is a village located near Norwich in Norfolk. Historically, it was known for its connection to the Royal Air Force (RAF) as it served as a base during World War II. RAF Coltishall was a prominent fighter station, and its history is intertwined with the defense efforts of the United Kingdom during the war.

The village itself is picturesque, featuring a charming rural atmosphere. The nearby River Bure adds to the scenic beauty of the area, providing opportunities for riverside walks and recreation.

In recent years, Coltishall has become a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat while still having access to the amenities of Wroxham and Norwich, which are short distances away. The village retains its historical character, and visitors can explore remnants of its military past, including the old RAF Coltishall site.

Standing on the river Bure, the town of Wroxham is divided by the river and shares its many attractions with the neighbouring Hoveton St John. Whether on the water or congregating in the busy pubs and restaurants on offer, there is something that will capture the heart of everyone. If you choose to hire a boat, you can travel at a leisurely pace along the broads and moor up at one of the local pubs. The Ferry Inn at Horning serves food all day and offers a fantastic outdoor space and plenty of mooring.

If you would rather stay on dry land, you can wander through the riverside park and feed the ducks, enjoy afternoon tea at one of the quaint tea rooms or simply sit and watch the boats go by in a sunshine filled pub garden.

The Bure Valley railway, which started in 1900, begins its journey in the centre of Wroxham. Both a steam and diesel train run the 18 mile round trip, taking you on a tour of pretty Norfolk villages and ending in Aylsham.

A fun family day out can be had at Wroxham Barns where crafts activities and a Junior Zoo are two of the many activities to enjoy, finishing off with a piece of homemade cake or perhaps a Norfolk brewed cider. For sailing enthusiasts, the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club is situated close by, offering a large club house, ample mooring and many organised events for both members and guests.
