Property description

** PUBLIC AUCTION ** Glebe House was built in 1860 by the Reverend Ewing in the centre of the village of North Pickenham. It was originally built as a pair of semi-detached Victorian Gothic houses constructed to look like one large house. The Reverend Ewing cared deeply about the appearance of his buildings and this property was no exception. Being constructed with an attractive red brick the exterior of the house is decorative, with windows framed by white bricks set into two tall gable-ends, and offers substantial accommodation spread over three floors. A small dormer window was built into the grey slate roof with attractive scalloped white bargeboards hung from the roof and over the entrance porch which was set back from the front of the house. This space has now been filled by an enclosed storm porch. The chimney stacks stand at the gable-end. The accommodation comprises a reception hall with tiled floor, three separate reception rooms on the ground floor plus a fourth room which has been used recently as a bedroom. To complete the ground floor accommodation there is a kitchen, pantry and ground floor shower room. On the first floor there are three further bedrooms and first floor bathroom. On the second floor there is a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, dressing room, and fifth bedroom. There are gardens to the front plus a detached garage and drive. The property is in need of renovation, updating and improvement but the substantial accommodation offered must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
