8 bedroom house

ref sc0433.  Sharon Carter fell in love with this historic home situated in Outwell.  Being on the edge of West Norfolk, it is excellently situated for this modern world, but as you drive through the gated access, you are immediately struck with a sense of calm.  This home was originally built in the 1400's as a convent, and was subsequently added to in both the 18th and 19th centuries. Walking through the 18th century door, leads you into a magical world.   There are too many features to mention individually, but they include, parquet flooring, shutters at some windows, large fireplaces, high ceilings, large windows and bright, airy and grand rooms, together with some more intimate spaces.  

Downstairs has 6 reception rooms, including a library, formal dining room and a drawing room.  Upstairs has 6 bedrooms with an en-suite to the master, as well as an ironing room. 

Externally, the property sits on a plot of approaching 3 acres and is set out well.  There is plenty of driveway space and also a range of outbuildings and workshops.  The swimming pool is heated and has a separate pool house.  

This really is a true gem, and to gain a full impression of the lifestyle it will give you, it needs to be seen.
