DRAFT DETAILS AWAITING APPROVAL

SUMMARY

Few properties offer this combination of scale, seclusion and versatility so close to Norwich. This highly individual 13-bedroom residence presents an exceptionally rare opportunity for a purchaser to acquire an extraordinary amount of space.

The scale becomes apparent on entry, with an expansive entrance hall and striking central staircase providing access to a broad range of accommodation. The floorplan includes a kitchen/diner, second kitchen and large utility room, alongside multiple reception spaces of impressive proportions, allowing the house to adapt to formal entertaining, everyday family life, work, or recreation. 3 bedrooms sit on the ground floor, along with a bathroom and en-suite, creating a genuine self-contained annexe option.

Upstairs, the main bedroom includes its own wardrobe and en-suite, while 9 further bedrooms provide an impressive amount of sleeping accommodation. 2 additional en-suites and 3 dual-access bathrooms serve this floor, giving a new owner enormous potential to reconfigure the accommodation to suit their lifestyle.

For those looking beyond a conventional family home, the sheer scale and versatility of the accommodation, extensive grounds, parking and additional buildings create exciting potential for alternative purposes, such as a care home or similar, subject to necessary permissions. This is a rare opportunity to reimagine a remarkable property within a wonderfully private setting on prestigious Colney Lane.

OUTSIDE

The setting is every bit as impressive as the house itself. Tucked away from Colney Lane, a long driveway creates an immediate sense of arrival and leads to an extensive parking area that can accommodate numerous vehicles. A detached triple garage is complemented by a sizeable additional outbuilding to the rear, adding yet another dimension to the versatility on offer.

The grounds approach 4 acres, combining sweeping open garden areas with mature trees and established planting to create a wonderfully private and secluded haven adjoining woodland. Generous terraces provide superb space for outdoor entertaining, while the separate leisure building houses a substantial indoor swimming pool, creating a fantastic facility away from the main residence.

With exceptional privacy, expansive grounds, leisure facilities, extensive parking and substantial ancillary buildings, the sheer scale of this remarkable setting is incredibly difficult to replicate so close to Norwich.
