A Stunning Grade II Listed 'merchants House' Steeped In History
The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this historical Grade II listed ‘Merchants House’ for sale in the popular village of Stoke Ferry. With a Georgian facade and a south facing aspect overlooking the village church. It is of particular historical interest in the village most notably for the fact that both Lord Nelson and King Charles 1st are said to have visited the property. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the character and history of this intriguing home.
Accommodation:
The 3.5 storey town house is currently a well loved family home with an exceptional amount of internal space. It also lends itself to multi generational living with the benefit of a large master bedroom with en suite which is located to the rear of the property. The Georgian entrance hall leads through to the large panelled sitting room at ground floor level with a log burner situated within a large, period fireplace. Beyond this is a generously sized kitchen dining room to the rear, in what would have originally been a barn, which opens out into the walled garden. There is a scullery / small kitchen which is currently used for food preparation and as a utility room. Both rooms feature granite worktops.
A grand, central staircase provides access to the upper floors. At first floor the formal drawing room with a fire place at either end is beautifully presented with William Morris wall paper, panel detailing and four large sash windows which flood the room with natural light. A delightful, bright south facing room with views over the church and village square. A large walk in cupboard at one end has power inside and has previously been used to house a drinks fridge. The bathroom closest to the drawing room incorporates the built in infrared sauna and shower with underfloor heating.
The principal first floor bedroom is accessed off the main stairwell and provides a large double bedroom with built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom including a shower unit, bath (with TV built into the wall) WC, bidet and a pair of sinks, there is also underfloor heating to this room. The bedroom itself has a balcony over looking the rear garden which is an ideal space to enjoy the warm weather, with access via metal steps to the lawn below.
On the second floor are three double bedrooms, two of which include the original Georgian fire places. There is also a shower room which serves this floor.
The top floor provides two further bedrooms in the eaves with velux windows providing plenty of light and a shower room.
Outside:
To the rear of the property is a tranquil courtyard garden with water fountain which leads through into the walled garden. The garden is mostly laid to lawn making it easy to maintain with a border including roses, alliums and lavender. The gravel driveway provides off road parking for two cars.
There is so much to offer both inside and outside this ‘Merchants House’ and viewings are strongly recommended to take in this beautifully presented, delightful historical property.
Services:
This property is connected to mains water, mains electric and has mains drainage. The property also has heating via the wood burner and heating via an lpg gas boiler. The property is partially double glazed.
Location:
Stoke Ferry has a long history, and was well established by the time of the Norman Conquest, its population, land ownership and productive resources being extensively detailed in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village lies close to the River Wissey and the current owners enjoy days out on the river very much and keep a rowing boat and Canadian canoe down there.
The village offers various traditional village shops including a corner shop, Bonnetts hardware store and a thriving Blacksmith’s shop that has been trading over 100 years. There is also a wonderful community owned village pub called The Bluebell. The pub was Established in 1795 and became proudly community owned and run since 2021. The pub host many community events here such as art and craft classes and is open in the day as a cafe too. Close by are train links to both London and Cambridge from either Downham Market or the village of Watlington.
