Northwold

4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Thetford

4 4 3

Handsome and elegant, The Old Rectory at Northwold sits beneath the gaze of Saint Andrew's Church and is a property that delivers so much more than meets the eye. First impressions reveal a lovely family home with space in abundance, whilst a detached annexe is also offered. Furthermore, the 0.7 acre plot (stms) is surrounded by a beautiful brick & flint wall which wraps around all sides. The gardens are mature and well stocked with a variety of sitting areas at different corners.

The main house offers three reception rooms off the main hall, kitchen/breakfast room with pantry, conservatory, downstairs shower room, and utility & boiler rooms off the rear lobby. The first floor has four well-proportioned bedrooms, shower room and main bathroom.

The detached annexe is currently a popular holiday let cottage generating a gross income of approximately £15,000 per annum. The delightful annexe comprises a two bedroom single storey living unit, with a further door leading to a rear study/games room where a staircase leads up to the second floor. Therefore there is the option of this being a three bedroom two-storey annexe, or for this further accommodation to provide work-from-home offices as per the current use.

Outside there is a shingle driveway leading down to the house and annexe, where triple garages and plenty of parking are provided. The gardens stretch across the front with the main lawn being southerly facing. The borders and lawns are beautifully presented and the outside is a lovely place to enjoy.

This is an outstanding example of a 'forever home' which the current owners are only offering for sale due to the need to relocate. We look forward to showing you around this timeless property.

The two villages are located approximately two miles apart and both are positioned alongside the River Wissey. Further amenities can be found at the nearby market town of Downham Market. There is a main line railway station that goes to London Kings Cross (90mins) and it is an ideal place for walking or cycling and the peaceful waterways are excellent for boating and fishing.
