6 bedroom house

Set well back from the road in a plot that is approximately 0.85 of an acre (STMS) Holly House can trace its origins back some 300 years. Originally built as one dwelling, the property has evolved over its many years and has been extended both to the rear and the side as well as being subdivided into two. Its current arrangement is a further adaption being able to operate as two separate homes but with the ability of the two to flow together should one wish. The larger of the two has two reception rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor along with four bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The other side has two reception rooms and kitchen/dining room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and the current owners found this arrangement ideal for when they shared the house with an elderly relative.
Outside and to the front is a delightful and private south facing garden and to the side there is plenty of off street parking as well as a large double garage. However, it is to the rear where Holly House really sets itself apart.
It is incredibly rare to find a property that is so centrally located within a North Norfolk village but that enjoys such an extraordinarily large garden. There is a lawned garden with mature fruit trees, a vegetable garden and then beyond that a small paddock which for those looking for 'The Good Life' lifestyle, perhaps it could be somewhere for poultry or even some small livestock and all overlooking the village playing fields so giving it a further sense of space and privacy.
Holly House has been a family home and in the same ownership for several years and as such is now in need of cosmetic updating throughout. The age and history of the house are evident from inside whilst the outside could easily be brought back to its more traditional and original aesthetic to match the interior character and charm. With all that space to the rear there is obvious potential for extending the house further (subject to the usual consents) and what the next custodians choose to do with the remainder of this enormous garden is only limited by their imagination.
 

DOCKING Docking is a busy village with a small supermarket and post office, a fish and chip shop, a pub, a large village playing field, tennis court and bowling green. There is a weekly farmers market with stallholders including a baker, fishmonger, a butcher and greengrocer, and with stalls selling cheese, preserves and cakes. The village is perfectly placed for the North Norfolk Coast and its long, fine sandy beaches. Brancaster and The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club are about four miles away. There are two golf courses in Hunstanton, which is less than eight miles away. The Titchwell Bird Reserve, home to terns and waders is close by.
