7 bedroom detached house for sale

This loving three-bedroom family home has witnessed the children grow up over many years. With an additional four-bedroom annex to the side, it is large enough that some have returned with their own family in toe.

'The Shrubbery', is believed to date back to the 1600s. It has been updated over the years, and now you'll find a property with a surprisingly modern layout, yet retaining much of the character and charm you'd expect in a home of this age. The open plan kitchen/dining area features a modern design typical of newer properties, yet it's set within the bones of an older home. With beautiful original flooring and stunning beams, a gorgeous log-burner is the focal point of the room, it's no wonder many hours have been enjoyed here.

Complementing this lovely home is a large living room with another eye-catching log-burner and more beams, an office space with a separate entrance, and a spacious room, which the current owners use for additional storage. This room is versatile and, with its own en-suite could easily be converted into another bedroom if desired.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and family bathroom featuring one of the most stunning and unusual twin-sinks. In the past, the property had a thatched roof, but it has since been updated to a tiled roof. Despite this change, none of the property's character has been lost. The old beams that once supported the thatch remain a great focal point in the upstairs bedrooms.

The main residence is surrounded by a beautiful walled garden, offering complete privacy and a secure environment for both pets and children. Beyond this tranquil oasis, an expansive 400 ft. garden stretches out to meet adjoining farmland. This area is ideal for use as a smallholding, pony grazing, or simply as an extension of the garden's serene ambience. If desired, an additional property could be built in this space (STPP).

Ample parking is available with a gravelled area that accommodates up to 12 cars, complemented by a large, brick-built triple garage and a sizeable workshop.

Adjacent to the main home is The Coach House, a substantial four-bedroom family residence. This unique property has a fascinating history, having been used as a musical recording studio in the past, but it has since been converted into its current form. It now features a large sitting room with a log-burner, a kitchen, playroom, and shower room.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a main bathroom. This space is further enhanced by its own sperate entrance. The versatility of this space is evident, and it could easily be run as a successful holiday rental. 

NORTHWOLD A civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, on the edge of the Norfolk Fens and Breckland. The rural village of Northwold, which lies on the edge of the Thetford Forest, offers local shops, traditional pubs and village hall.

Approximately 20 miles away, perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.

King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived ther. With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England.

With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route. It's easy to see the appeal of this central location with a clutch of high street retailers and independent restaurants in the town's Vancouver Centre. The Majestic Cinema and King's Lynn Alive Corn Exchange are the place to catch a film or show, or check out what's on at St George's Guildhall, the UK's largest surviving medieval guildhall, today a vibrant arts centre.

A stunning cluster of Georgian architecture sits to the west of town and the streets surrounding The Walks, a Grade II listed, 17-hectare park where elegant folk once promenaded. Families still enjoy weekend walk or a Sunday concert in the park and don't miss The Red Mount, once a wayside stop for pilgrims headed to the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, to take in the incredible, elevated views.
