Property description

Sowerbys are delighted to offer this truly unique character property, idyllically positioned on Badley Moor on the outskirts of Dereham. Located at the end of a private track, this beautifully presented family home enjoys extensive grounds which seamlessly merge into miles of unspoilt countryside, to provide quite breath-taking views. Internally the property is stylishly appointed, with the original features being complimented by more recently installed fixtures such as the handmade oak kitchen and the solid oak doors throughout. The accommodation on offer briefly comprises open-plan sitting/dining room with an impressive brick built fireplace, kitchen/breakfast room with AGA, garden room, conservatory, boot room housing utilities and cloakroom on the ground floor; with three bedrooms and the family bathroom located on the first floor. A door on the landing leads to a winding staircase which rises into the roof space where there is another versatile room (measuring approx. 30' x 16') with an array of original timber work on display and an adjacent shower room. Outside, the grounds extend to around 1.8 acres (sts) and include formal gardens, a vegetable garden, two ponds and a delightful woodland meadow.
