Hunts Corner, Banham, Norwich NR16 2HL

Situation

Situated approximately one mile west of Banham in South Norfolk, the property sits towards the outskirts of this popular village. Banham itself is a most attractive village, boasting a beautiful array of period buildings and surrounded by rural Norfolk countryside. Despite its rural charm, Banham retains a strong, active community, with good local amenities including a school, village shop, post office, public house, church, and the renowned Banham Zoo—a popular tourist attraction.
The historic market town of Diss lies around six miles to the south-east, offering an extensive range of day-to-day amenities and facilities, including a mainline railway station with regular, direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich. Attleborough, four miles to the north, also boasts good facilities and its own mainline railway station, connecting to Norwich and Cambridge. Norwich itself is within easy reach too, just sixteen miles north of the property.

Description

The property itself comprises a former coach house believed to date back to the mid-1800s, now forming a beautifully converted semi-detached house. It retains many period features and offers an attractive, cottage-style frontage with mellow red brick elevations under a pitched clay pantile roof. In more recent years, the property has been significantly enhanced and upgraded, and is presented in immaculate decorative order throughout. Heating is provided via radiators by a modern oil-fired central boiler, thought to have been installed around 10 years ago.

The accommodation is well laid out, totalling some 1,000 sq ft. The main reception room is a particular highlight of the house, featuring vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers that accentuate the feeling of space and light, helped further by a dual aspect and French doors leading onto the rear garden. The room is centred around an attractive fireplace with wood burner. The second reception room is equally well-sized and ideally positioned in the centre of the property, making for a dining room with easy access to the kitchen. This room features an attractive Victorian fireplace. A door and stained leaded-glass window to the front provide useful additional space, serving as the entrance hall. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a modern kitchen, which is excellently presented and offers a good range of storage space. At first-floor level, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, which is likewise beautifully presented, with a modern three-piece suite in white. The principal bedroom is most generously sized and benefits from built-in storage space.

Externally

Set back from the road, the property is approached via a shingle driveway that provides ample off-road parking for up to three cars. The main garden is well-sized and private, enjoying a sunny, south-facing aspect. Thoughtfully planted over the years, it now offers plenty of charm and colour throughout the summer months. A paved patio abuts the rear of the house, with additional space behind it that could be used as a vegetable growing area or to accommodate a shed or workshop for extra storage. Along the front boundary sits a triangular brick outbuilding, adjacent to a timber shed.
