Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present The Old Plough, a substantial Grade II Listed character property with an independent cottage and a variety of useful outbuildings, occupying a mature plot of around a quarter of an acre in the heart of Docking. The main house provides wonderfully spacious and stylishly presented living accommodation, along with four double bedrooms, three of which offer luxurious ensuite facilities that have all been refurbished in recent years. In addition to the main house, there is also a separate one-bedroom cottage, which is perfect for visiting guests and could also be let out for holiday use or under a longer-term tenancy. The outbuildings, which include a superb 50ft barn which has recently been re-roofed, provide no end of potential; whether as additional accommodation, studio/work space or any number of other purposes.

ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed at the side of the property into the warm and welcoming kitchen, which is at the centre of the ground floor and provides the social hub to the property. The kitchen comprises an extensive collection of storage units under granite Work surfaces, with a matching central island. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and combi oven, alongside a freestanding range cooker and a bespoke recess for a fridge/freezer. Other features include exposed timber floorboards and a woodburning stove. The kitchen leads through to the dining room, which is a superb family entertaining area with the original feature fireplace, timber floorboards and a built-in handmade bar with a solid oak countertop. At the other end of the kitchen is the impressive dual-aspect family sitting room, which enjoys fantastic proportions, with a woodburning stove serving as the main focal point. To the side of the kitchen there is a separate side entrance lobby, with a staircase leading down to the basement and doors to the ground floor cloakroom and a useful storage area, which in turn leads into the laundry/plant room.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second storeys, with three bedrooms accessed from the first-floor landing. The master room is an exceptionally spacious bedroom, with an elegant 4-piece en-suite bathroom and a separate dressing room. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are both comfortable double rooms, with bedroom 3 also enjoying the luxury of an en-suite bathroom; whilst bedroom 4 is served by a luxurious family bathroom, which features a free-standing roll top bath and a separate shower enclosure. Stairs from the main landing lead up the guest bedroom, which occupies all of the second floor and displays a wealth of character features, along with a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room.

THE COTTAGE
The cottage is accessed independently of the main house and would be ideal for visiting guests, or alternatively as a means of creating an additional income; whether as a holiday cottage or a longer term let. The ground floor comprises a well-equipped kitchen with space for a dining table with chairs and a spacious sitting room with a large understairs storage cupboard. The bedroom occupies the first floor, with plenty of space for a dressing area alongside the en-suite bathroom.

GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS
The property is approached over a private driveway which extends to the west of the main house, providing parking and turning space for several vehicles. The gardens are well established and neatly maintained, including an elevated timber decked seating area, a central lawn and various trees and specimen shrubs. The main barn, which measures over 50ft in length, is located to the rear of the main house. The barn, which has recently been re-roofed, offers multiple uses and displays vaulted ceilings (approximately 5.8m at the apex), partial original brick flooring and an original cast-iron stove. Along the northern boundary there is a further complex of outbuildings, including a garage/workshop with an inspection pit, an un-converted barn and a delightful summer house with a veranda. In all, the plot extends to a little over 0.25 acres (stms).

LOCATION
Docking is a popular village with a village shop and post office, primary school, doctors surgery, fish & chip shop and The Railway public house. There is a tennis court, bowling green and a children's play area on the village playing field. The village is perfectly placed for the nearby North Norfolk coast with Brancaster Beach being only 5 miles drive away.

SERVICES
The property is connected to mains drainage, electricity and water supply. Oil-fired central heating to radiators.

About The Norfolk Agents, Dersingham

The Norfolk Agents are proud to be called a local estate agents for North, South, East, West and Mid Norfolk.

We know Norfolk intimately and can provide first class local knowledge with market leading fees. Your property will be marketed on our new website, the Rightmove portal and across our vast social media pages. We are very friendly and experienced estate agents whose main aim is to make your house sale / move in Norfolk as stress free and cost effective as possible.

We do this by combining the best attributes of pure online estate agents with those we learnt from working in high street agents for many years.

At The Norfolk Agents we believe vendors shouldn't be expected to pay the inflated fees most High Street agencies charge, but that both vendors and buyers alike also deserve to receive a better service than national online agencies currently offer.

The Norfolk Agents combine the best of both worlds, to provide a cost effective fees package that you can control, backed up by high quality marketing and first class customer service, all provided by our truly local friendly and experienced team.

You can trust The Norfolk Agents as we know Norfolk and the true value of your property
