An impressive Victorian family home in an elevated position with views over Whitlingham Broad.
Description
Dating back to 1867, this impressive Victorian detached home occupies an elevated position with far-reaching views across Whitlingham Broad.
Having been in the current ownership for more than 30 years, the house now presents an exceptional opportunity for sympathetic modernisation and enhancement, allowing a new owner to create a truly outstanding family home.
Rich in period charm and extending to approximately 4,345 sq ft, the property showcases many original features typical of the era, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing and elegant ceiling roses.
The accommodation is entered through a welcoming reception hall, featuring a beautiful tiled floor and access to the principal ground floor rooms. The formal dining room and living room are particularly striking, separated by floor-to-ceiling double doors that create a wonderfully versatile entertaining space. The dining room enjoys views to the front, while the living room opens directly onto the courtyard garden through double doors.
A further reception room to the front of the property provides an ideal family room, offering an abundance of character and original detail.
The kitchen/breakfast room connects seamlessly to a utility room and cloakroom, while a secondary staircase provides convenient access to the first floor.
At the rear of the house, a stunning conservatory creates a unique Mediterranean-inspired retreat, complete with mature grape vines, flower beds and doors opening onto both sides of the courtyard garden.
On the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom shared with bedroom three. A further generous double bedroom enjoys a front-facing aspect and en-suite facilities, alongside an additional room suitable as either a bedroom or home office and a utility room.
The second floor offers three charming rooms nestled within the eaves, together with a bathroom and useful eaves storage.
Further benefits include a substantial cellar providing excellent storage and a single garage.
Outside, the property is approached via a shingle driveway offering ample parking. To the rear, a delightful courtyard garden is divided by the conservatory, creating two distinct outdoor spaces. Steps lead from both sides to a beautifully tiered garden, where exceptional views can be enjoyed across Whitlingham Broad. There are a variety of mature evergreen shrubs and established trees, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.
