Description

Outside
The property is approached via a lengthy gravel driveway which leads round to a parking area for numerous vehicles as well as to the detached garage and workshop. The detached garage has a large adjoining workshop which is ideal for any car enthusiast/hobby space but could also lend itself to converting into ancillary accommodation subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.

Whether a keen gardener, equestrian focused or just looking to own a slice of Norfolk countryside there really is so much here to enjoy.
