5 bed detached house for sale

Hall Lane, South Wootton PE30

A Stunning Detached 5-Bedroom House

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present this highly impressive family home, offering spacious and adaptable accommodation, along with private and mature grounds, in the heart of The Woottons. Doomsday House, which was named after a best-selling romantic novel of the era, has been one of the most prominent residences in South Wootton since it was built in the mid-1920's. The neatly presented interior offers flexible living space on the ground floor, along with five first floor bedrooms. Throughout the house there are numerous character features and points of interest, many of which draw inspiration from the late Victorian Arts & Crafts period, particularly in the impressive entrance hall, sitting room and dining room. Later additions have added to the versatility of the layout, including a 20ft lounge with doors out to the garden. The twice extended house, which has only had three separate owners in its 100 year history, occupies a generously sized plot which includes a gated driveway for several vehicles, various outbuildings and an elevated terrace which houses a heated outdoor swimming pool.
Accommodation

Visitors are welcomed into the impressive entrance hall, where there is a built-in coat cupboard, a door to the ground floor cloakroom and the original staircase rising to the first floor. The formal sitting room enjoys generous proportions, with bays to the front and side which allow light to flood in, and also house a feature fireplace on the side wall. The dining room is another spacious reception area with built-in storage cupboards and views over the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room, which measures 24ft in length, provides plenty of space for a table with chairs alongside the kitchen. The kitchen comprises a collection of handmade units under granite work surfaces, along with a built-in pantry. From the kitchen there is a door into the utility/boot room, as well as a secondary staircase which leads up to bedrooms 4 and 5. The utility area is a useful room, which serves as a side entrance lobby with space for coats and shoes, as well as a further collection of storage units with a Belfast sink. The utility room also leads into the neatly appointed ground floor shower room.
A lobby area at the rear of the kitchen connects the older parts of the house with the most recent extension, which we believe was added in the early 1970s. This single story addition provides fantastic floor space, including a 20ft lounge with double doors into a separate home office/study.
On the first floor, there are five bedrooms in total, three of which are arranged around the original landing area, along with a stylishly appointed 4-piece bathroom and a separate cloakroom. The master bedroom is an extremely generously sized double room with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and dual aspect views. Bedroom 2 is another comfortable double room with fitted storage. The third bedroom can also accommodate a double bed and has doors linking it from the main landing to the split-level rear landing, where there are further doors to bedrooms 4 and 5.
Outside

The property is approached over a gated driveway, which provides parking and turning space for several vehicles in front of the garage/workshop (which measures 5.0m x 7.3m). The mature and neatly maintained gardens extend to all sides of the house, with planted flower and shrub borders, and a number of seating areas which enjoy the sun throughout the day. In the north-east corner of the garden there is a timber studio/summer house (measuring 6.15m x 3.0m) which would make a fantastic home office, hobby room or outside entertaining area. The swimming pool area is to the rear of the house and has been a much loved and enjoyed feature of the house by the current owners. The pool, which is independently heated by an air source heat pump, occupies an elevated, very private position with fencing around the perimeter, to ensure that the area is entirely safe and secure.
