DESCRIPTION

Stonebridge House is an attractive brick and flint period property set in around two acres of gardens and grounds with far-reaching views across the Glaven Valley and towards Cley. Positioned on the edge of the village , the house enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby leading into the main hallway. Off the lobby is a recently fitted cloakroom with WC and Moroccan-style floor tiles. The main hall features traditional pamment floor tiles, stairs rising to the first floor and useful understairs storage, with the principal reception rooms leading off this space.
The house faces south and is designed to make the most of the exceptional valley views. The kitchen and dining room spans the depth of the house and include a large bay window overlooking the valley.

Installed around three years ago, the kitchen is a solid wood hand-painted Masterclass kitchen with quartz worktops, an integrated Rangemaster electric oven with ceramic hob and extractor, a Neff dishwasher and an under-counter fridge. Oversized ceramic floor tiles run through the kitchen, back hallway and utility areas, creating a practical and stylish space, and there is also a good sized larder cupboard. The south side of the room has solid oak flooring and is currently used as a dining area, although the room is spacious enough to include additional seating if desired.

A generous conservatory sits off the kitchen on the west side of the house, with doors opening out to the courtyard garden perfect for easy alfresco dining . With heating installed, it is a comfortable space throughout the year and enjoys attractive views over the garden.

Behind the kitchen is a back hallway with a door to the outside. This area includes a large coat and storage cupboard and houses the oil-fired boiler. The adjoining utility room is fitted with Howdens cabinetry, has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and includes a large airing cupboard. A water softener and the main fuseboard are housed in the utility room.

There are two large reception rooms, both benefiting from a south-facing aspect and views across the valley. The main drawing room retains the original fireplace (not currently used) with a painted metal mantelpiece and wooden flooring. A second sitting room has both south and north-east aspects, a woodburning stove (not currently used) and a full wall of fitted bookcases, creating a comfortable and welcoming space for relaxing or reading. A separate study off the hallway includes wooden flooring and fitted cabinetry and provides a useful workspace.

Upstairs, a gallery landing leads to the bedrooms and another linen cupboard. The principal bedroom sits on the south side of the house and features a large bay window with outstanding views across the valley. It has wooden flooring and a newly fitted en-suite bathroom with a cast iron bath, separate shower and modern fittings.

There are three further large double bedrooms, including one with triple aspect views towards Cley and Wiveton churches, another with a south-facing outlook, and a third with views to the west with a hand wash basin. A fifth single bedroom also enjoys views towards Cley church. Several of the bedrooms have wooden flooring, with others carpeted. There is also a newly installed contemporary family bathroom with a cast iron bath and walk-in shower, as well as a separate WC.

The property sits within a conservation area but is not listed. Some original features, including certain windows, are considered part of its character. The current owners have carried out electrical and plumbing upgrades during the past eight years, and the property also benefits from an alarm system.
__________

OUTSIDE

Outside, a white picket fence opens onto a driveway providing parking for several cars. There are three interconnected garages currently used for storage. Within the grounds there is also a large wooden chalet which provides an independent annex currently used for holiday lets by the owners.

The accommodation includes an open-plan sitting room, a small, fitted kitchenette and a bathroom with shower over the bath. The annex also has its own garden area with views towards Cley church. Water is heated by a gas combi boiler using bottled gas and heating is provided by electric radiators. At the end of the same building is a useful outside larder store which stays cool and works well for wine or food storage.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property and extend down towards the River Glaven with river frontage. The grounds include lawned areas, mature trees, wildlife-friendly planting and winding pathways through natural areas filled with spring bulbs including snowdrops and daffodils. This lower part of the garden was historically part of Cley harbour and can have naturally wetter areas, adding to the character and biodiversity of the setting.
A solid oak deck overlooks the river and provides a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings, with views across the reeds towards Cley church and the historic Wiveton bridge.

The gardens also include established borders with pink climbing Pippin roses, crocosmia and other herbaceous plants providing an abundance of colour through the summer months. Fruit trees including plum, apple and pear are also scattered through the grounds along with established flowering shrubs. Near the conservatory is a courtyard garden with further rose beds with seasonal planting including hyacinth and purple aster to name a few.

The property also benefits from an outdoor swimming pool set within a private enclosed hedged area. There is a pool shed housing the pool filtration system and pump and currently uses a solar cover for warmth.

Above the house, close to the boundary with Wiveton church, is a raised area offering impressive views back across the house and valley. This area includes a caged kitchen garden with raised beds and a small woodland area with native plum and lilac trees.

Stonebridge House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home with generous gardens, valley views, river frontage and separate annex accommodation in one of North Norfolk’s most sought after locations.

SITUATION

Wiveton is a wonderfully unspoilt village that sits on the opposite side of the River Glaven from Cley, which was until a century and a half ago a tidal estuary, and both places were ports with harbour frontage. Today the village benefits from the popular Wiveton Bell gastro pub and a fine parish church dating to the fifteenth when the port was most prosperous.

Excellent local facilities are also available within walking distance in the neighbouring villages of Cley-next-the-Sea and in Blakeney, the latter of which is a year-round lively village, as well as a holiday destination offering a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, a fine parish church, tennis courts, playing field and a primary school.

North Norfolk and the region enjoys everything on offer from locally sourced butchers, fishmongers and farmers markets to artisan bakers, cool coffee shops, restaurants, delicatessens, up-market farm shops and art galleries.

This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Conservation Area and offers easy access to the saltmarshes and Blakeney Point with many ways of whiling away leisure hours including sailing, seal trips, cycling, golf, amazing coastal walking and fine beaches. The Cley marshes wildlife reserve dates from 1926 and makes this one of the best places for spectacular birdwatching.

Just four miles to the south is the Georgian market town of Holt, renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide and eclectic range of independent shops. Holt is also home to Gresham’s pre-prep, prep and senior schools, founded in 1555.
