THE PROPERTY
Listed Grade II as being of architectural or historical interest, 57 High St originally dates to the 17th Century and forms the end wing of a former Hall House. Following the evolving trend in architectural styling, around the 1780's the property was Georgianised. Naturally this provides a wealth of character features throughout to include exposed timbers, fine fireplaces and sash windows. The entrance lobby opens into the dining room with Victorian fireplace and double doors to a spacious garden room bringing the outside in and links well to the shaker-style kitchen with ample worktop space, eye level double ovens and a 5-ring gas hob, this was all recently extended and modernised, resulting in a historic house with modern convenience. A further sitting room in the original part with an inglenook fireplace, with the principal bedroom to the rear with ensuite shower room and adjacent utility room and rear entrance to the garden.
Upstairs provides access to the landing space, currently used as a library and office space, with a further double bedroom with built in storage and a further bedroom with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, and mezzanine.

OUTSIDE
Outside forms a further important feature with ample gravelled parking to the front, with the most beautifully landscaped gardens to the rear, consisting of an alfresco dining terrace, raised beds, pathways to further seating areas, all whilst backing on to the Kentwell Hall Estate.
