The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer this substantial character property, occupying a generous plot of around 0.25 acres (stms), with a private rear garden and a large outbuilding. With generously proportioned and versatile ground floor reception rooms, a modern kitchen and four double bedrooms (3 of which are en-suite), the property provides exceptional living space whilst retaining an atmosphere of warmth and cosiness.

Dating back to at least as far as 1839, this property has always played a prominent role in village life in Dersingham. Originally a bakery, the property later served as the village Post Office, before returning to use as retail premises in the late nineteenth century; trading as the grocers and wine merchant ‘Cobbalds’, and later as ‘Peatling & Cauldron' following the Second World War. It was converted into a private residence in the latter part of the twentieth century and has served as the current owners family home for over 40 years.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the impressive reception hall, with a timber staircase rising to the first floor and a built-in coat cupboard. Along the front elevation there are three main reception rooms; the sitting room is a spacious family room with a brick-built fireplace, a beamed ceiling and a bay-window to the front. To the side of the sitting room is the formal dining room, which is also generously proportioned and has a pair of windows to the front. Across the hall from the sitting room is the cosy snug, with a fireplace and bay-window to the front.

The modern kitchen/breakfast room is at the back of the house, with a pleasant view over the garden. It has been recently refurbished to comprise an extensive collection of cream-fronted storage units under composite work surfaces, with a matching central island unit with breakfast bar. The kitchen is equipped with a wide range of NEFF appliances, which include a 'slide and hide' oven, combi oven, warming drawer, full-height fridge, dishwasher and a 900mm induction hob. There is also a Quooker boiler tap and water softener installed.

A door from the kitchen leads into the utility room, which offers a further range of storage units and houses the washing machine and gas-fired central heating boiler. The utility room leads through to another highly adaptable ground floor reception space, listed as the play room, which has an independent side entrance door and has been used as a fifth bedroom or could be adapted to create a self-contained annexe.

On the other side of the kitchen there is a useful boot room/rear porch, with a door out to the garden and a door into the luxurious ground floor bathroom, which is fitted with a Jacuzzi bath, hand basin and WC.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms arranged around the spacious landing, which also houses a double width airing cupboard. The master bedroom is an extremely generous double room with dual aspect views, one wall of fitted wardrobes and a 5-piece en-suite bathroom with a separate shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also double rooms with en-suite facilities, whilst bedroom 4 is a double room which is currently used as a dressing room.

In all, the internal floor area extends to over 2,600 sq./ft.

OUTSIDE & OUTBUILDING

The property is situated behind a mature hedge, with a private driveway to one side and gated access into an enclosed front garden. The rear garden is a delightful feature, offering a variety of seating areas around neatly maintained lawns, with colourfully planted flower and shrub borders, along with a number of mature trees. There is a gated access into the garden from Kings Croft, along with a pair of double gates which allow vehicle access into the garden if required.

At the centre of the garden there is a substantial brick and carr stone barn, with an attached toilet, which has an existing power and water supply. Although it is currently in a semi-dilapidated condition, the barn could be renovated to provide superb workshop or amenity space, or additional accommodation if required (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent).
