Features and description
- Freehold
The Well House is a superb individual period house believed to date back to the early 1800s and built of partly colour washed brick and flint walls under a pantiled roof on the outskirts of the charming rural village of Fulmodeston. The property offers an exciting opportunity to purchase a period property with bags of character in this popular village having undergone in more recent years a thorough conversion into a large family home and a programme of renovation and improvements by the current owners.
There is flexible and well laid out living accommodation briefly comprising a reception hall, kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility and cloakroom, dining room, study area and a snug which could also provide a ground floor bedroom 4. The hub of the house, however, is a good sized sitting room with an exposed brick fireplace and 3 sets of patio doors leading into a stunning oak framed garden room. 2 separate staircases lead to 2 landings giving access to an en suite principal bedroom and a second bedroom with a large dressing room and patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the rear gardens and countryside beyond. There is also a further double bedroom upstairs and a family bathroom.
Traditional features abound including 2 fireplaces housing wood burning stoves, latch doors, pamment tiled floors to the ground floor and reclaimed pine floorboards upstairs with impressive full height vaulted ceilings to the 2 main bedrooms. More modern benefits include oil-fired central heating, a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room with lpg connection for cooking, 2 luxury bathrooms and timber double glazed windows and doors.
The property stands in delightful gardens and grounds amounting to approximately 0.65 acre (subject to survey) comprising a beautifully landscaped rear garden which backs onto countryside, pretty gravelled gardens to the front and useful outside store and driveway parking.
The Well House has been a much loved permanent home for the current owners but would also suit those buyers looking for a character second home with holiday lettings potential in a convenient location for the local market towns and Norwich.
Fulmodeston is a rural village which used to form part of the Earl of Leicester's vast estate and later home to Lord and Lady Hastings who owned hundreds of acres of prime surrounding farmland. The village is conveniently located 10 miles inland from the north Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and situated approximately half-way between the market town of Fakenham and the lovely Georgian town of Holt, both of which offer a full range of shops, schooling and eateries. The Cathedral City of Norwich is approximately 25 miles to the east.
Closer to hand are the thriving neighbouring villages of Melton Constable and Briston where there are amenities including village stores/Post Office, butchers, takeaway outlets, garages, community centre, playing fields, doctors surgery and a primary school. More immediately, the 3 villages of Fulmodeston, Barney and Croxton come together for many club and social activities.
Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. Oil-fired central heating to radiators. EPC Rating Band E.
