4 Bedroom Detached House

Believed to date back to the 16th/17th Century, Pisces is a remarkable period residence steeped in history and character. Originally two separate cottages, the property has been thoughtfully combined over time to create a sizeable family home approaching 2000 sq.ft of accommodation, whilst retaining the charm and individuality that make period homes so sought after.

Occupying a delightful plot believed to extend to around one-third of an acre (stms), Pisces enjoys a picturesque rural setting surrounded by open countryside. The property is positioned amongst some of Norfolk's most attractive landscapes, with neighbouring farmland creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and tranquillity.

The accommodation itself offers a wealth of original features throughout, including exposed beams, timberwork and traditional cottage-style detailing. The welcoming sitting room provides a cosy retreat, whilst the impressive living room offers generous proportions and enjoys an abundance of natural light. Together these reception rooms create flexible living space suited to both family life and entertaining.

The kitchen serves as the true heart of the home and offers an impressive amount of preparation and storage space, making it ideally suited to busy family life. Enjoying views over the rear garden, this characterful room provides an abundance of natural light and ample worktop space. The adjoining dining room creates a natural extension of the kitchen, allowing the two spaces to work seamlessly together for both everyday living and entertaining. Beyond, the conservatory offers a delightful place to relax whilst enjoying views of the garden, creating a versatile arrangement that can easily adapt to modern lifestyles. A separate utility room and ground floor bathroom further enhance the practicality this charming home provides.

To the first floor, four bedrooms branch off the central landing, all enjoying their own individual character and outlooks. The principal bedrooms are particularly generous in size, while the remaining rooms offer flexibility for guests, children or those now seeking space to work from home.

Externally, the grounds wrap around the property and provide a charming blend of lawned gardens, mature planting and established trees. The gardens offer a high degree of privacy and create the perfect backdrop to this historic home.

A particular feature of Pisces is the substantial detached outbuilding, incorporating a double garage and workshop extending to approximately 646 sq.ft. This versatile building offers tremendous potential for a variety of uses, whether for classic car enthusiasts, hobbies, storage, a home business or workshop space, subject to any necessary consents.

Homes of this age, character and provenance are becoming increasingly rare. Offering an exciting opportunity for a new owner to sympathetically enhance and modernise where desired, Pisces represents a chance to acquire a truly individual Norfolk home in an idyllic countryside setting.
