Description
The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present this unique four-bedroom home, set on a generous half acre plot in the semi-rural, peaceful village of Southery. This is a property that offers not just space, but possibility — a home that can adapt, evolve, and grow with your lifestyle.
Originally two village shops, the property now provides a wonderfully flexible layout with character features, generous room sizes, and a stunning open plan living space at its heart. The current owners have thoughtfully upgraded the home, creating a warm and inviting environment that blends charm with modern comfort.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The expansive gardens and substantial outbuildings open the door to a wide range of opportunities. Whether you dream of a creative studio, a home business base, a gym, a workshop, or occasional hosting, this property offers the space and versatility to bring those ideas to life.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial village home that combines lifestyle, character and generous space with the versatility and potential that make this area between Downham Market and Ely so highly sought after.
ACCOMMODATION
A small entrance hall leads into the impressive open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area — the true centrepiece of the home. With views to both the front and rear, vaulted ceilings, roof windows and a striking exposed brick fireplace with log burner, this is a space designed for gathering, relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen features a contemporary range of cabinetry, a range style double cooker, beech worktops and a central island with granite surface and breakfast bar, creating a sociable and practical cooking environment.
To the side, a welcoming sitting room with a second fireplace offers a cosy retreat, while the adjoining study provides an ideal workspace for remote working or creative projects, and can equally be used as a fifth bedroom. A neatly appointed ground floor bathroom includes a useful laundry area, and a spacious double bedroom completes the downstairs accommodation — perfect for guests, extended family or multi generational living.
Upstairs, the central landing leads to three generous double bedrooms. The master includes a dedicated dressing area, bedroom two enjoys views over the fields to the front, and bedroom three is a bright double aspect room overlooking both the front and rear gardens. A modern family bathroom serves the first floor.
OUTSIDE
One of the standout features of the property is the expansive gardens, with the whole plot extending to approximately half an acre. Shared vehicular access is located to the side of the home, leading through metal gates onto a private gravel driveway at the rear, providing off road parking for multiple vehicles.
A patio with a pergola extends from the rear of the property, creating an attractive outdoor seating area. Further down the garden, there is a partially lawned section with an additional seating area, along with two substantial outbuildings: a brick built workshop and a large Nissen hut, currently used as a gym and games room. The equipment within the Nissen hut is also available by negotiation. These buildings offer outstanding versatility for hobbies, storage, business use or creative ventures.
A garden archway leads to the largest section of the garden — a peaceful, open space with a pond, decked terrace and a high quality oak Breeze House pavilion. This beautifully crafted structure provides a luxurious all weather entertaining space, with premium oak construction and upholstered seating for up to 20 people. The roll up sides allow it to open fully to the sunshine, while in cooler or wet weather it becomes a cosy, fully enclosed, waterproof retreat. Two ceiling mounted heaters ensure year-round comfort, making the Breeze House a rare and desirable feature that adds both lifestyle appeal and exciting potential for hosting, relaxation or creative uses.
LOCATION
Southery offers the ideal balance of countryside living and convenience. Set in a semi-rural village with a friendly community and open green spaces, the property remains well connected to nearby towns and amenities.
