FAIR MEADOW HOUSE

‘Fair Meadow House’ is a particularly fine Grade II listed residence commanding a prime location in the centre of the idyllic conservation village of Itteringham. This very special location sits within the picturesque ‘Bure Valley’ area adjoining the National Trust – Blickling Estate. Built originally in the early 17th Century this handsome period residence has long been associated with Itteringham’s historic village shop but in recent years was separated into a standalone dwelling. Having evolved over several centuries and perfectly illustrating the architectural fashion for gentrifying dwellings in the Georgian period the house boasts a handsome and symmetrical façade that conceals a sympathetically refined interior. Key period features throughout this wonderful home include exposed beams, panelled doors, a fine selection of fireplaces and wide plank wooden floors.

Set over three floors and extending to over 2,200sq. ft. the balanced and versatile accommodation briefly comprises; Classic central entrance hall, formal sitting room with ‘Inglenook’ fireplace and wood burner, dining room with exposed beams, classic handmade, in-frame Shaker style kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and ground floor cloakroom. To the first floor there are three principal double bedrooms that are served by a unique bath/shower room with vaulted and beamed ceiling. The second floor features two further ‘attic’ style double bedrooms with ornate vaulted and beamed ceilings. In addition, the property has a basement. Attached to the North elevation of the house is an external store room. In addition to the main residence there is a unique garden timber framed studio/annexe that is fitted with power, water and waste drainage. This attractive building features a fully glazed gable that is inset with French doors, and a mezzanine area. Such a versatile space could be easily adapted to cater for a variety of needs and desires.

‘Fair Meadow House’ sits in a generous and established garden plot with a delightfully sunny southerly lawned area to the front elevation with mature hedgerow boundaries and a high degree of privacy. A shingle pathway leads round to the west elevation of the house where further lawns are flanked by shrub and flowering borders and there is a sheltered and paved sun terrace off the kitchen. The studio looks out over a separated garden area that features a lawn, vegetable plot and fruit cage. A private parking area provides off-road parking.

Itteringham is arguably one of the most picturesque villages in North and this fine house commands a central position with an excellent pub and village shop just a short stroll away. Countryside walks can be found not far from the doorstep as the village is surrounded by glorious open countryside with the ‘’ running through it. Despite this idyllic, rural setting the conveniences of Holt, and the City of Norwich are within easy reach. KEY FEATURES
