The Property

The Pink House is in the heart of Loddon with the original part of the house dating from approximately 1604 with later additions in the 18th and 19th century. The house is full of historic interest and retains many original features whilst providing spacious and flexible accommodation which would suit a variety of purchasers. The house has three excellent reception rooms which interconnect resulting in a good ‘flow‘ within the house. The main drawing room has a brick inglenook fireplace with Oak bressumer, tiled hearth and ‘Villager‘ wood burner, bay window with working shutters and views towards the church. The dining room has space for a large table and chairs, brick fireplace and door through to the Family room which lies to the rear of the house. This is a lovely room for day-to-day living with French doors out to a terrace and plenty of light, and benefits from a handmade bespoke dresser & island unit. The kitchen/breakfast room has a good range of wall and base units with space for all appliances, sink, drainer and room for a table and chairs. Both the kitchen and family room have ‘Norfolk pamment‘ tiles throughout. The inner hall provides an excellent boot room with back door to garden and door to cloak/utility room and then leads back to the front hallway. Upstairs a generous double bedroom lies to the rear with views over the garden and wall of fitted cupboards. Adjacent is a large bathroom with contemporary white suite comprising double walk-in shower, roll-top bath, heated towel rail and wash hand basin. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one with ensuite cloakroom. The second floor has a large master bedroom suite with seating area and ensuite shower room. The current owners use two of the five bedrooms as their home offices. There are plenty of period features such as exposed beams and fireplaces remaining in the property which will appeal to many buyers.
