6 bedroom house

Over 50 years since last on the market, Washall Green House is a charming Grade II listed country house and is being offered chain free. The house is in need of modernising and comes with potential to extend with the necessary planning permission. There are two good size reception rooms as well as a cosy study. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys charming views over the gardens and beyond with access to the utility room with a door to the outside.
Washall Green House was previously called Washington Green in the seventeenth century after local landowners who were related to George Washington the first president of the United States. Before that it was called the Cock Inn with the track to the east of the property once being an important drover's road from Norfolk to London. Previous occupants have also included Andrew Motion (Poet Laureate 1999 - 2009).
