3 bedroom house

Hall Lodge is a truly idiosyncratic home. This former gatehouse is set within an enchanting plot of approximately 1 Acre (STS) in a secluded location on the outskirts of a popular and peaceful Norfolk village. A rare and characterful home like this has the ability to accompany a fulfilling and enviable lifestyle in Norfolk with wonderful birdlife, a vegetable garden, sprawling lawns and a further wooded area, not to mention the countless miles of surrounding countryside.

The eclectic accommodation has been partly remodelled by the current owners and is now almost 2,000 sq. ft. of delightful interiors filled with homely charm and interest. A most impressive central reception room has been opened up to combine modern open-plan and sociable living with the characterful features. The spacious kitchen area has an Everhot and Shaker units with granite worktops and a breakfast bar with solid timber worktop, revealing a further seating area around a wood-burning stove. Also open to the kitchen is the dining area, flooded with light via large windows and bi-fold doors as well as a further large seating area with ample space for numerous soft furnishings. The kitchen is well served by the pantry and a utility/boot room is accessed via the main entrance hall. Beyond the main reception is a further snug/family room, which could equally make an ideal ground floor bedroom, given that the ground floor of this home also boasts a spacious shower room with WC.

This home features two staircases. The first of which leads to two good size bedrooms, including a most generous double bedroom with far reaching views of the gardens and rolling countryside beyond. Both of these bedrooms are well served by an immaculate and stylish shower room. The staircase to the far end of the cottage reveals a brilliant first floor with an entirely self-contained principal suite with dressing area/first floor reception, spacious bedroom and a bathroom en-suite, once again with enchanting countryside views.

Of course, a standout feature of this memorable home is the superb plot in which it sits. Approximately an acre (STS) of grounds provides space for chicken runs, vegetable gardens, sprawling lawns, established fruit trees, woodland pightles, ample parking and outbuildings, including a large detached double garage. Everything and more that one could require for a genuine slice of the good life!

Within Reepham you have a wide range of amenities including village shops, post office, cafés, public houses, good quality schools and a village hall, a church and restaurants.

The cathedral city of Norwich can be found to the south where you have an extensive range of leisure and cultural facilities as well as a main line rail link to London Liverpool Street and an International Airport. The picturesque Georgian market town of Holt lies close to the North and just beyond that is the heritage coastline of North Norfolk.

The neighbouring, idyllic, estate owned village of Heydon is 2.6 miles away. Heydon became Norfolk's first conservation area in 1971 and has won its Best Kept Village on two occasions. The village has a quirky pub, the Earle's Arms, tearooms and bakery and there are a variety of small artisan businesses. In addition, there is a well-used village green. The village is still owned by the Bulwer Long family, one of only around a dozen English villages that are entirely privately owned. The estate extends to around 1450 acres of arable farmland and is maintained as a modern rural community, conserving the past but looking to the future, a place where rural values are upheld.
