DESCRIPTION The house comprises a detached property set in about 3 acres or thereabouts (stms) with a drive leading up to the front of the house and grounds surrounding.

The house itself offers well arranged accommodation on two floors with four bedrooms, being of traditional construction with a pitched main roof. Although the property has been well maintained over many years, there is scope to re-arrange the layout and this is an excellent opportunity for a buyer to create a family home of some distinction.

The ground floor rooms are arranged on an open plan basis, particularly with the front portion being divided to the dining room and sitting room, which links in well with the kitchen and shower room.

The first floor needs to be re-arranged and requires a bathroom, and it is likely that any buyer would replace the conservatory at the rear as well as opening up the whole property.

Outside, the grounds are a major feature of Orchard Farm, which is approached from the road via a drive which sweeps round to the house. The drive is to the side of the property and there is a further drive on the far side of the house as well. The main garden area is at the front of the house. The meadows at the rear act as a buffer between the house and the road and will be of great interest to buyers and are suitable for a number of purposes.

Services: The property benefits from mains water and electricity. There is a private drainage system. Oil central heating.

Local Authority: South Norfolk Council.

Please note: The barns situated directly in front of the house are separately owned and have been the subject of a successful application for conversion. They will be improved following the conversion into a number of residential units. Buyers should be aware that the main drive serving Orchard Farm is owned by the property with a right of way for the adjoining barns.  

LOCATION The property is located about 6 miles to the south of Norwich and is within easy reach of local shopping and transport facilities in Poringland and Loddon. There is also easy access to the Norwich southern bypass and the South Norfolk Broads. This is an excellent opportunity to live tucked away in South Norfolk, yet within easy reach of communication routes. 

DIRECTIONS Proceed out of Norwich on the Trowse bypass and continue along the A146 Loddon Road for about 5-6 miles. The property will be seen on the left hand side of the road, just after the Volkwagon garage on the right. Proceed down the drive and the property will be seen on the right hand side.
