Enjoy the opulence of a grand Georgian house in the North Norfolk countryside which boasts a swimming pool, tennis courts, hot tub and croquet. There’s an indoor games room, too, and space to socialise or spend quiet time apart, whether you’re in a multi-generational family group or friends getting together for a celebration.
The wow factor starts with the grand entrance hall, and all the main rooms are adorned with works of art, ornamental fireplaces and beautiful mirrors. You have a choice of places to sit and relax - an airy orangery, a drawing room or a panelled lounge, all on the ground floor, plus a TV/games room on the second floor (reached by cottage-style stairs). The kitchen is superbly equipped, boasting an Aga and electric oven, as well as two fridge/freezers, with the utility room containing two dishwashers as well as laundry facilities. Dine either in the formal dining room, with its antique table and chairs, or the breakfast room leading off the orangery. The six bedrooms are all on the first floor, including four spacious king-size rooms, of which three have en-suites. Steps lead down to the twin and bunk-bed rooms, as well as a cloakroom and opulent family bathroom. The 7-acre grounds include a swimming pool (heated April to October), full-size hard tennis court, croquet lawn, hot tub (available November to March), BBQ area and woodland.
