5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Location Fulmodeston is an attractive rural village surrounded by open countryside with a 19th century church. The village is just 1.8 miles south of the A148 with easy road access to both Fakenham, 5.5 miles and Holt, just under 9 miles. Both of these towns have an excellent range of amenities including schooling for all ages, medical centres, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, garages and a cinema. Holt is renowned for its attractive streets of shopping and an eclectic range of independent shops to include Bakers and Larners. Holt is also home to Gresham's pre-prep, prep and senior schools founded in 1555. The town of Fakenham has a weekly market and monthly farmers market and Fakenham racecourse is one of the finest national hunt racecourses in the country. The delights of the North Norfolk coastline are just 9 miles north, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with bird reserves and a variety of other leisure pursuits including sailing, seal watching, golf and numerous walks including the coastal path. 

Description Believed to date from the early 1800's, the present owners have the original deeds to include a document dated the 12th June 1811 between Fuller Farrow and William Rogers detailing the sale of land for seven pounds of sterling English money. The property has been tastefully and skillfully extended over the years, much by local builder Ray West, to include the brick and flint extension to the side with a feature dutch gable. Many on first seeing the property believe this is the oldest part of the property but it is in fact the newest along with an impressive oak balcony and steps leading from the second bedroom overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. The spacious sitting room centred around a wood burning stove is full of character and has three sets of French doors leading into a fantastic oak framed and double glazed conservatory/garden room, once again with three sets of French doors leading into the garden. In the centre of the house is a kitchen/breakfast room with doors leading to a utility and downstairs cloakroom and comfortable dining room. From the reception hall a further room currently used as music room would make an ideal home office or occasional bedroom, if preferred. On the first floor all three bedrooms are doubles with the principal having an en-suite shower room and the remaining two bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. There is a further room listed on our brochure as a Dressing Room/Occasional Bedroom through which you walk to gain access to bedroom 2. A studwork wall could be erected creating an inner hall off the principal landing and a self-contained forth bedroom.

The landscaped gardens are a real feature of the property and are truly delightful, being well stocked with a rich variety of planting, inter-woven with paths and a number of seating areas with hard landscaping to take advantage of different aspects of the garden. Within the rear garden is a summerhouse which overlooks a field and open countryside to the rear.

If you are seeking a character property in a rural village within easy access of the North Norfolk coast, this property is well worthy of an early viewing.
