About this property

DESCRIPTION The White House is believed to date to the early 16th century with later 1960's and more recent additions, being situated in a lovely pocket in the broads of Norfolk, bordering the river Ant. The house enjoys an enviable position being tucked away towards the end of private shingled drive benefiting from complete privacy from neighbouring properties, with a particular feature being the fine views over the river Ant and the southerly gardens.

The property is approached at the front into the entrance hall which leads past the cloakroom and into the main sitting room. The original 16th century part of the house is across the front façade and enjoys period features which include mullion style windows and a fine inglenook fireplace with log burner.

The focal point to The White House is the beamed kitchen breakfast room with a super central island and a good range of integrated appliances together with an essential Everhot range cooker. The kitchen area links in very well with the utility room and out to the associated gardens. The current vendors greatly improved this space by removing the wall between the kitchen and breakfast room creating a light and airy feel aligning with modern day living.

There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom positioned off the landing. The principal bedroom enjoys a good range of fitted wardrobes and all bedrooms benefit from superb views over the gardens and grounds.

Much of the charm of The White House remains in the delightful gardens and grounds which complement the house perfectly. The property is approached off Mill Road into a private shingled driveway which leads down to two properties. The White House is approached from the south, but the position of the house is towards the rear of its boundary therefore benefiting from the main southerly gardens at the front. The driveway itself leads up to the double garage, there is parking available for many vehicles.

The gardens enjoy many points of interest, being principally lawned, particularly at the front and rear of the house with a lovely array of flower beds and a paved seating area. The kitchen garden is well established and enjoys a large cage together with a greenhouse which will remain with the property.

A significant change to the gardens was the addition of a summer house with a further terrace that enjoys fine views back towards the house. The whole is bordered by mature hedging and a stream which flows on the rear boundary.

Services - Mains water (water softener installed), oil fired central heating, private drainage system (septic tank serviced in March 2024), mains electricity.
