Description

Shrublands House is a stunning Georgian village residence, set in a peaceful village location with outstanding school, shop and post office, village hall, sports grounds with pavilion and a well respected gastropub.



Shrublands retains the character of a late 18th Century property (original stripped pine doors, brass door furniture, large Georgian sash windows, wide staircase, and open fireplaces), and the atmosphere of a traditional Norfolk farmhouse. It does however benefit from a large extension in the manner of a barn conversion. The house stands on its own grounds in 1/3 of an acre of mature gardens, giving privacy and seclusion from an already quiet road, - yet less than 100 metres from the village shop and pub (open 7 days), and easy walking distance to the Ofsted Good - inspected primary school, as well as a village hall, well-run pavilion and cricket / football pitch and two village churches.



The house itself offers three double bedrooms, four reception rooms, and a stunning kitchen, limestone-tiled bathroom. The property has original wooden floors, fireplaces etc in the original parts of the property whilst the newer parts are of iconic contemporary design. Within the large garden there is a detached barn to the rear of the property, with a converted double bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/office as well as large garage area/ annexe that doubles as a guest room offering an additional fourth bedroom. The windows and front door are in fact only recently fitted replicas of the originals. They benefit from being modern argon-filled slimprofile sapele custom-made double glazed windows throughout main house.



Shrublands House is approximately 5 miles North West of the bustling market town Attleborough which offers further amenities: Schooling for all age groups, a sports/fitness centre, restaurants, banks and public transport services, including a railway line directly to Cambridge and London.
