Out Of The Ordinary This handsome home forms part of Coltishall Hall, a Grade II listed large country house built around 1700. The property was altered in the 19th century with the elegant features and proportions of the period, including the large sash windows and decorative pediment that give it such a distinctive style. The latter shows the date 1871 – thought to be when the frontage was updated. Over the centuries it’s been home to wealthy clergymen, landowners and even commandeered by the Royal Army Medical Corps in the Second World War. The hall was then converted into residential accommodation, part of which is this impressive home. The properties are run by a management company made up of the owners, giving each one input into the upkeep of the grounds and buildings, as well as an interest in the freehold.

The Best Of The Broads This house benefits from one of the few private gardens among the residences here and it’s clearly defined too. “I love having my own outside space where I can soak up the sun or entertain friends in summer,” smiles the owner, “And of course the communal gardens are extensive too. We have a long lawn at the front and a wooded area to the rear.” The residents gather regularly for events, such as summer barbecues or Christmas drinks making it easy for people to get to know their neighbours. Head down the drive and you’ll find yourself opposite the river green: a place where you can sit and watch the boats go by and the birds passing overhead. There are several well-regarded pubs and restaurants just a short stroll from here, as well as a shop. “It’s not far from but it feels a world away.” The Accommodation Taking in the front elevation, you move through the front brick pillars, with Copper Beech hedging into the private garden of the property.
