Welcome to Bridport House, a captivating detached period residence nestled in the heart of Dereham's sought-after conservation area. Rich in history and charm, this distinguished Georgian home once hosted Lord Nelson himself during visits to his brother, who lived next door at Nelson House. Fittingly, the property takes its name from Bridport in Dorset, where Lord Nelson's ship, hms Victory, was anchored as part of a larger fleet.
Bridport House offers a harmonious blend of historical grandeur and modern comfort, with four generously sized bedrooms and a wealth of versatile living space. From elegant sash windows and original fireplaces to a thoughtfully modernised kitchen, every detail reflects the property's character and refinement.
The ground floor offers three beautifully presented reception rooms, including a formal lounge, a welcoming dining area, and a snug retreat, all ideal for everyday living or entertaining guests. The stylish kitchen is light-filled and practical, while a convenient downstairs WC adds functionality.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are accompanied by a spacious family bathroom and an ensuite to the principal bedroom, offering comfort and privacy for all.
Beneath the house, the cellar level has been thoughtfully adapted to include a private gym, a separate study perfect for remote working, and useful storage areas. The grounds also include a large utility room, a separate outdoor WC, and a detached garage, enhancing the property's appeal.
Outside, the expansive garden is a true sanctuary—spanning approximately three-quarters of an acre, it includes an established orchard and generous lawns, offering endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment and leisure.
A rare opportunity to own a home with such historical significance, exceptional space, and timeless charm—Bridport House is the perfect setting for a refined and relaxed lifestyle.
