4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Thetford

6 4 2

An incredible property with so much on offer ‐ over 5 acres (sts), four bedrooms and six reception rooms to the main house, detached annexe, double garage, barn, stables and workshop. Formerly a public house, in more recent decades the grounds have been developed to create a spectacle good enough to be opened to the public to raise funds for charity.

The acreage has been split into many different areas such as orchard, three paddocks, gardens, grown your own areas and woodland walks. The property offers further development opportunity (subject to the relevant planning permissions and consents). Those looking for an equestrian property will be delighted with the paddocks, stables and the three separate entrances to the property.

The main house offers in excess of 2,600 square feet. The ground floor has six reception rooms, central hallway, kitchen, utility room, rear lobby and shower room. A staircase leads down to the cellar in the basement. The first floor offers four double bedrooms, bathroom and WC. The annexe offers a double bedroom, living room, garden room, kitchen and shower room. The double garage is adjacent to the annexe whilst the main barn is divided into seven sections (see floorplan for details).

In the past 12 months the main house, annexe and garage have been subject to a number of improvements such as a new kitchen and utility room, some new carpets and a variety of improvements to decoration. The property represents outstanding value for money and must be viewed to fully appreciate everything on offer.

AGENTS NOTE (1) The agent believes that the property may offer a future owner further development opportunity ‐ an entrance already exists into the south paddock which leads round to the barns. Planning consent would need to be sought. No planning has been applied for, to date. There may also be a business opportunity for a potential owner. The relevant permissions would be required. 

AGENTS NOTE (2) In the unusual flash flood of June 2016 which affected multiple properties in the area, water entered the main house and annexe for the first time. All damage has been rectified and renewed under insurance. Drainage to the area has been significantly improved since this one-off event.
