Cawston Road, Aylsham, Norwich, Norfolk

Oak Lodge is a handsome Georgian grade II listed early-19th-century house of red brick construction under a tiled roof, set over three floors. The house is light and airy and offers well-proportioned family-sized accommodation, situated within walking distance from the town centre of Aylsham whioch hosts a variety of shops, cafe's and bars. The existing owners have done an excellent job retaining the character and period features of Oak Lodge including the sash windows and shutters, original fireplaces and cornicing whilst also blending this with the contemporary Architect designed Corten steel kitchen and breakfast room extension with underfloor heating and mains gas AGA cooker. The extension has sliding doors out to a private front shingled seating area which overlooks the front gardens. The reception rooms throughout are generous and offer excellent family rooms and entertaining space. The first floor boasts five further bedrooms and a family bathroom and above this floor is a spacious attic room.

To the rear of the main house sits Little Oak currently run as a successful holiday let. Little Oak comprises a one-bedroom self-contained annexe with private courtyard garden and access both separately and through the rear of the main house. The finish and specification of Little Oak sits in line with the main house and offers excellent ancillary accommodation or income potential.

The property is accessed via a private driveway with associated garaging and off-street parking. The gardens to the front of Oak Lodge are mainly laid to lawn with shrub and hedge borders. To the rear of the house is a secondary driveway with a former outbuilding now converted to a garden room/studio with associated patio seating area. To the rear of this outbuilding are the original formal walled gardens, now used as a summer swimming pool area.
