6 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Attleborough

3 6 1

IntroductionThis charming Victorian family house, formerly the village Rectory, presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a property with historical character and potential. Nestled adjacent to Old Buckenham Stud, this spacious detached home sits on a generous plot of just over three quarters of an acre, boasting an attractive established wrap-around garden, that offers privacy from the main road screened by mature trees.
The property, though requiring updating and restoration, exudes a timeless appeal and offers a wealth of space and original features including high ceilings. Fireplaces grace each bedroom and the main reception rooms, adding to the attraction of the home. Upstairs, six bedrooms await, with the sixth bedroom serving as a walk-through into the main bedroom from the landing.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall welcomes with its characteristic chequerboard tiled floor, leading to the dining room and drawing room on either side. The kitchen, with ample space for a table and chairs, connects seamlessly to a walk-in pantry and the utility room, providing convenient access from the garden. The main living room features a cosy multi-fuel stove set upon a slate hearth, perfect for chilly evenings with views out across the garden.
Outside, a winding driveway leads up to the property, offering ample parking with a vehicular side access to the detached outbuilding located to the rear of the house, which serves as a garage. This outbuilding, once housing pony and trap, also offers storage space above within what was once the former hayloft, along with two adjacent sheds formerly serving as stables.
With its idyllic setting, spacious interiors, and wealth of historical charm, this Victorian gem presents an exciting opportunity for restoration and transformation into a truly remarkable family home.

Agent NotesWe are informed that above the main bedroom in the roof space of the house there was, or maybe still a colony of Bats, prospective purchasers are advised to check this information along with any ongoing compliance in relation to the welfare of Bats.We are informed that the property is on Mains Drainage however the disused septic tank remains within the curtilage of the property.

The information given in these particulars is intended to help you decide whether you wish to view this property and to avoid wasting your time in viewing unsuitable properties. We have tried to make sure that these particulars are accurate, but to a large extent we have to rely on what the seller tells us about the property. We do not check every single piece of information ourselves as the cost of doing so would be prohibitive and we do not wish to unnecessarily add to the cost of moving house." Once you find the property you want to buy, you will need to carry out more investigations into the property than it is practical or reasonable for an estate agent to do when preparing sale particulars. For example, we have not carried out any kind of survey of the property to look for structural defects and would advise any homebuyer to obtain a surveyor's report before exchanging contracts. If you do not have your own surveyor, we would be pleased to recommend one. We have not checked whether any equipment in the property (such as central heating) is in working order and would advise homebuyers to check this. You should also instruct a solicitor to investigate all legal matters relating to the property (e.g. title, planning permission etc.) as these are specialist matters in which estate agents are not qualified. Your solicitor will also agree with the seller what items (e.g. carpets, curtains etc.) will be included in the sale."
