Stunning Heritage Property A converted heritage property in a West Norfolk hamlet, with unique architectural features, walled courtyard, two large reception rooms, four en-suite bedrooms, and with easy access to amenities and mainline train station with fast services to London. This detached property has been cleverly converted from a mid nineteenth-century foundry, with high ceilings, beams and exposed stone work, to create a stunning and luxurious family home.

House with a History This detached family home is part of a small complex of five traditional farm buildings, converted into private homes in 2000. This property was originally a foundry built in 1840.

It is approached from a quiet country road, through electric gates, which lead into a walled courtyard with walls approximately two metres high. The walls are a mixture of chalk stone, traditional flint and brick, and the roof is slate.

To the right of the property is a large area of block paving, with parking space for up to six cars and two large garages with manual up-and-over doors. The garages have electricity and a storage area. The garages are attached to the property and there is an internal door into the utility area.

“The courtyard is surrounded by lovely stone walls,” say the vendors, “it gets the sun in the evenings, and is a very private space which is dog and child friendly.”

Elegant and Spacious Reception Rooms To the left of the entrance hall, down a step, you enter a large dining room with tall ceilings, roof beams and dark oak flooring, with boards at saw mill grade for a rustic, vintage look. Skirting is also oak. There is a tall window to the front, and another to the rear garden. There are two, further Victorian style radiators, and ceiling spotlights.

Through single glass doors and down another small step is the sitting room. This has the same architectural features with the addition of a stunning brickwork, inglenook chimney, with log burner, which was the original foundry fireplace. This currently houses a grand piano, and large seating area. There are three further Victorian-style radiators, partially exposed chalk and stone work, and a second preserved dovecote. Two windows overlook the back garden, and another gives on to the front. There are French doors, with wide glass panels either side, leading onto the courtyard.

“This is a great party house for family and friends at all times of the year,” say the vendors, “it’s beautiful in the summer with all the French doors open on to the courtyard, while in the winter, with the log burner alight, it’s cosy, and the high ceilings are perfect for an impressive Christmas tree.”

En-suite Bedrooms with Stunning Architectural Features Through a door in the sitting room you enter a bright corridor leading to the bedroom area. The corridor has oak flooring, and windows overlooking the courtyard, interspersed with oak panels along its length.

The first bedroom has French doors, and a window on the side overlooking the side garden. There is a wooden lintel over the door, and exposed stone work. The en-suite, with bath and shower over, toilet and hand basin, is tiled and was refitted only two years ago. There are ceiling lights throughout this part of the house, The kitchen-dining room is a sociable, family room, it’s a great place to chat while and ceilings are lower.

A second bedroom has another set of French doors with side glass panels onto the side garden, and an en-suite shower room with toilet and basin – this was also upgraded within the last two years. Above these two rooms, accessed through a stable door in the corridor is a second boarded loft area.

The third bedroom is smaller, with en-suite shower and window overlooking the side garden. There is wool carpet in all the bedrooms.

Master Bedroom The principal bedroom is large with French door and glass side panels opening onto the courtyard. It has a large en-suite with separate shower and roll top bath, fitted within the last two years, with a window overlooking rear garden. “Behind the bath is one of the loveliest stone walls in the house,” say the vendors, “with different colours and textures.” Two Sides to the Garden, and a Home Office storing garden equipment.
