Old Road, Acle NR13

Dating back to the early 1900s this stunning four double bedroom detached family home occupies a substantial plot of approximately 1/3 acre, has three reception rooms and period features throughout, located on the edge of the popular market village of Acle.

Tucked away behind mature hedges the property is approached by a shingle driveway leading to the garage and providing off road parking for multiple vehicles.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and is enclosed by mature hedges, trees and plants. There is also side gardens leading to the rear.

The current vendor is a keen gardener therefore there is a stunning array of different plants, trees, shrubs and fruit trees including fig, plum, walnut and quince.
