Norwich Road, Fakenham

IDEAL RENOVATION PROJECT WITH PLENTY OF POTENTIAL

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire Heathcote, a charming period property bursting with original character and set on a generous plot of over a quarter-acre (STMS). Nestled quietly behind mature hedging and a classic brick wall, this home offers a high degree of privacy and a tranquil setting, perfectly tucked away from the road.

Having been lovingly owned by the same family for over 30 years, Heathcote presents a unique chance for renovators and enthusiasts to breathe new life into a beautiful period residence. The property retains a wealth of period features—high ceilings, decorative coving, original picture rails, internal doors, and open fireplaces—that provide an authentic backdrop for a sympathetic restoration or redesign.

The accommodation is generous and well laid out, featuring a bright and spacious dual-aspect lounge with an elegant bay window and open fire, ideal for cozy evenings and entertaining. Adjacent is a formal dining room, also with a bay window, offering a classic space for family meals and gatherings. The country-style kitchen, complete with a breakfast area, presents an excellent base for a modern upgrade, with ample room to create a contemporary culinary hub. Supporting this is a practical utility room, a large boot room offering valuable storage, and a downstairs shower room, all of which add to the functional potential of the ground floor.

Upstairs, the home boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite bathroom. The generous room sizes and period proportions mean there’s plenty of scope to reconfigure spaces if desired. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from a substantial garage with versatile first-floor space, currently ideal as a home office or studio. This outbuilding also holds great potential for expansion or conversion, subject to planning permission, offering exciting possibilities for additional living accommodation or workspace. The extensive grounds surrounding Heathcote are a true highlight. Mature trees, established shrubs, and colorful flowering borders create a private and peaceful garden sanctuary. The garden is alive with birdsong and wildlife, providing a serene outdoor environment for relaxation and enjoyment. Well-maintained lawns and a secluded patio seating area to the rear enhance the garden’s appeal, while the shingle driveway offers generous parking space for several vehicles.

This property represents an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and personalize a distinctive period home with abundant charm and character. With its spacious rooms, original features, and private setting, Heathcote is a blank canvas ready to be transformed into a stunning family residence that blends timeless elegance with modern living.
