Property description

The Chequers Inn had been located here since 1794 and there used to be a pond opposite where horses probably slaked their thirst while their riders did the same inside. The pub closed in 1956 since when this extensive detached property has been modernised and improved. It now comprises four reception rooms and six bedrooms with double glazing and oil fired central heating. There is a brick weave terrace at the front, ample parking space and a sheltered garden at the rear. The Old Chequers lies towards the eastern end of the village and faces southwards over arable farmland.



Hindolveston is a traditional Norfolk settlement with a village hall and recreational field close to this property. It is surrounded by wooded countryside with attractive footpaths and bridleways. Shops and other facilities are available nearby at Foulsham to the south or Briston and Melton Constable to the north. Hindolveston lies close to the B1110 Holt / Dereham road and there is also relatively easy access into Fakenham with Norwich little more than half an hour away.
