" Ornate architectural detail, an abundance of local history and provenance all set in glorious, private grounds with endless potential and versatility.

Manor Lodge comes to the open market for the first time in over 50 years. This unique and fascinating residence was once associated with a local manor house and estate and over the years it has been extended and enhanced to provide a beguiling home set in extensive gardens and nestled in an idyllic location surrounded by open countryside.

Whilst it would be fair to say the property would now benefit from a degree of modernising it offers huge scope and potential to create a wonderful home that embraces its special environment.

Built originally in the 19th century, the older part of the building showcases a wealth of period detail with ornate brick elevations, highly decorative door and window openings and set under a clay tiled roof.

Extensively enhanced and extended in modern times, the property now offers over 1,300sq. ft. of accommodation all set over a single level.

Notably, highlights of the accommodation include a large kitchen breakfast room, dining room with exposed beams, an exceptional sitting room with ornate inglenook style fireplace and wood burner, plus three double bedrooms served by a spacious shower room.

The accommodation is highly versatile and offers great scope for further enhancement subject to relevant planning consents.

In addition to the main accommodation there is a charming, detached brick built workshop. This attractive, period building offers further scope for adaptation.

The gardens and grounds are an exceptional feature of this unique home and provide a wonderful environment for the property to enjoy. Surrounded by open countryside on all sides, the grounds extend to around 0.70 acre stms .

Enjoying a glorious south westerly aspect the gardens feature a wraparound raised sun terrace looking out over sprawling lawns and a wide selection of established shrubs and trees. The gardens are perfect for personalisation whether you are looking for formal displays, functionality or space to pursue hobbies and interests.

On the far east boundary of the gardens and road facing is a garage building. Subject to relevant planning consents this may offer scope and potential for further enhancement and possibly separation.

Manor Lodge commands an idyllic setting perched on the edge of Baconsthorpe village. This privileged and semi rural setting personifies Norfolk country life whilst being conveniently placed for the Georgian market town of Holt and the north Norfolk heritage coastline.



BACONSTHORPE The village of Baconsthorpe is surrounded by unspoilt countryside, situated approximately four miles east of Holt and a short distance from the North Norfolk Coast. It is one of the few places in the county where a census before 1841 containing names survives. It is here that the ruins of Baconsthorpe Castle can be found, which date back to the early 15th century. Holt is one of the most attractive small towns in Norfolk with the main street lined with colour washed Georgian buildings, many of architectural importance. There are tea and coffee shops, lots of antique and curio shops, food shops and delicatessens, banks, independent shops and, of course, historic Gresham‘s School founded in 1555. The cathedral city of Norwich is just twenty six miles distant. From Norwich there are direct trains to London Liverpool Street and Norwich Airport is a convenient worldwide gateway via Schiphol Airport.
