SITUATION

Half Moon House stands on the edge of the small mid Norfolk village of Deopham, just 4.9 miles from the market town of Wymondham. Wymondham is an attractive and very old market town with a Friday market which was granted rights by Henry I and has been in existence ever since. The town has a good range of local facilities and shops including an edge of town Waitrose store, Morrisons, a leisure centre, and Ofsted outstanding state secondary schooling at Wymondham College (OFSTED 2019), with its newly founded Preparatory School, which is 2.8 miles from the property. Wymondham High Academy is 5.6 miles away and is also highly regarded (OFSTED: GOOD 2017). Wymondham has an Abbey dating from 1107 and there is access to the A11. The town also has a local railway station with frequent services to London Kings Cross via Cambridge, and also to Norwich. The house is well placed for easy access to the west via the A47 and Cambridge via the A11.

DESCRIPTION

Half Moon House originally dates back to approximately 1850 and up until 1961 it was a public house. We believe that additions were made to the property during the 1970’s. The property is of brick construction under a pantile roof and occupies a large plot of approximately 0.53 acres (stms). Half Moon House is notably a naturally light and airy property, offering spacious accommodation over two floors. The present owners have occupied the property since 2006.
__________

GROUND FLOOR

There is an open canopy porch with panelled front door with stained and leaded glazed panels opening into a spacious entrance hall, which features wood flooring and exposed former fireplace with pamment hearth and exposed oak inset lintel. The staircase to the first floor rises from the entrance hall. An inner hallway leads off from the main entrance and provides access to principal reception rooms. There is a cloakroom here with WC and wash hand basin, and a picture window through to the breakfast room provides a good source of natural light. A set of double doors open into the large triple aspect sitting room, which features moulded architraves and ceiling rose, dado rail, and exposed brick fireplace with timber lintel and wood burning stove. We believe that the sitting room and the main bedroom above were added during the 1970’s. The double aspect dining room is part of the original property and is presently used as an office. This room features wood flooring and period cornicing, dado rail, and ceiling rose.

The kitchen offers a range of built-in cabinets with a breakfast bar. There are integrated appliances, including a ceramic hob with extractor fan, a dishwasher, fan oven, and microwave. There is a walk-in larder located off the inner hallway, and a set of French doors opening out to the south-west facing terrace.

An archway leads through to the light and airy garden room which features polished slate flooring, vaulted tongue and groove panelled ceiling, and a set of French doors opening out to the south-west facing garden.

A rear lobby leads from the kitchen to the games room, which has a door opening out to the front of the property. The games room is a large triple aspect room, which currently accommodates a full-sized snooker table and gym equipment.

__________

OUTSIDE

Half Moon House stands back from the road and is approached through a 5-bar timber gate over a gravel driveway, which leads to a gravelled turning and parking area. The house is set back from the village road by a low brick retaining wall with mature shrub borders that provide ample screening and privacy. There is an area of lawned garden to the front of the property with well stocked shrub borders adjoining the house. The garden then wraps around the south elevation to join the main garden to the rear of the property. To the front of the property there are far reaching countryside views.

The rear garden is a particularly striking feature of this property. Adjoining the house there are two south and west facing paved terraces with an ornamental pond. There is an extensive area of lawned garden with mature hedging along the boundaries. The garden extends to the west and enjoys far reaching views over the neighbouring farmland.
