A deceptively spacious four-storey period home full of character and potential. Grand proportions, four versatile bedrooms and useful cellar space. Packed with original charm whilst offering exciting opportunities to personalise. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate everything Norfolk House has to offer.


Norfolk House is a charming and deceptively spacious period home arranged over four floors, offering an exceptionally practical and versatile layout ideal for first-time buyers, professional couples or anyone seeking a character property with generous living accommodation. Originally forming part of a larger residence before being thoughtfully divided, this attractive home successfully combines period charm with modern-day comforts, while still offering excellent scope for further enhancement. An internal inspection is essential to fully appreciate the size, flexibility and potential on offer.

The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout. A grand entrance hallway immediately sets the tone, showcasing features more commonly associated with substantial period homes. A sweeping spindle staircase rises to the first floor, complemented by a magnificent church-style window that floods the space with natural light. Beneath the staircase, a further staircase leads down to two highly useful cellar rooms, both offering excellent storage or workshop potential, with one enjoying natural light via a window.

The spacious main living room overlooks the front of the property and provides an elegant yet comfortable space to relax, enhanced by impressive ceiling heights and period proportions. To the opposite side of the hallway is a formal dining room or second sitting room, positioned adjacent to the kitchen. As the kitchen would now benefit from updating, there is exciting potential, subject to any necessary approvals, to create a stunning open-plan kitchen and living space, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, both complete with fitted furniture, with the principal bedroom being particularly spacious. The contemporary bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle and wash hand basin, while a separate WC alongside provides added practicality for busy households.

A wide landing, measuring approximately 2.5 metres across, leads to a second staircase rising to the versatile top floor. Here are two further rooms, one displaying attractive exposed beams and the other equally suited as either a fourth bedroom, additional reception room or home office. Together, these rooms offer the flexibility to create an impressive guest suite, teenager's floor or dedicated work-from-home space.
Externally, the current owners have acquired additional land to the right-hand side of the property, providing potential for off-road parking or an extension to the garden, subject to any necessary consents. To the rear, an elevated garden enjoys excellent potential to create a private outdoor retreat, perfect for entertaining, gardening or simply relaxing.
