Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Dereham, NR19 :
Sowerbys are pleased to offer this attractive late Victorian farmhouse, occupying mature grounds of around 0.85 acres (sts) in a prominent position approximately equidistant between the market towns of Dereham and Swaffham, and around 20 miles to the west of Norwich. The original house was extended in the 1980's to create a far more substantial dwelling which now provides over 2,600 square feet of internal floor space. A wealth of character features remain in place, including fireplaces and sash windows along with an eye catching staircase in the hall which was carved from Elm.
The accommodation briefly comprises reception hall, drawing room, dining room, study, kitchen, breakfast room, utility and cloak room on the ground floor; with four bedrooms, the family bathroom and separate cloakroom all accessed from the first floor landing. The impressively spacious master bedroom comes with one wall of fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room.
The property has been in the ownership of the same family for over 50 years and has been well maintained with a periodic programme of material improvements having taken place. The windows on the west elevation have been replaced with UPVC double glazing, as well as the electrical wiring and central heating system having been improved in recent years. However, it is fair to say that many of the cosmetic fixtures and fittings are now in need of modernisation.
The property sits toward the northern boundary, with the majority of the grounds located to the east of the main house. There are also neatly maintained lawns to the front which are bisected by a shingle driveway which extends along the side of the building to a double garage and parking area.
It should be noted by potential purchasers that although the property is set back, the driveway is accessed directly off the A47.
LITTLE FRANSHAM/GREAT FRANSHAM Located between the market towns of Dereham and Swaffham, Great Fransham is a Norfolk village, close to the A47 and city of Norwich. Little Fransham has a public house called The Canary and Linett and a farm shop, with further amenities approximately 6 miles away from the villages. Dereham is a busy market town mixing both the new with the old. Modern shops merge comfortably into a heritage dating back to the 10th century when Withburga, daughter of a Saxon king, established a religious community in the deer park, which gave the town its name. Free parking allows you time to stroll around seeking out the restaurants and cafes or for an afternoon shop. There are museums, a leisure centre, golf course and schools within the town, or for the nature lovers take a stroll along the Neatherd Moor and the Vicarage Meadow. Slightly further afield are the ruins of the Saxon Cathedral at North Elmham, the wildlife and Dinosaur Parks, Pensthorpe, a bird lovers paradise and Thetford Forest Park. Norwich has good local transport links with the town and has an international airport and a mainline rail link to Liverpool Street, London.
