"A THOUGHTFULLY CONVERTED and BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED escape to the country, CENTRALLY LOCATED in the PICTURESQUE RIVERSIDE VILLAGE of Coltishall, referred to as the GATEWAY TO THE NORFOLK BROADS and which lies to the north east of the county s HISTORIC CITY OF NORWICH. For over two centuries Coltishall was a thriving commercial centre for the malting industry and an important stopping point on the Aylsham to Gt Yarmouth route along the RIVER BURE, which is prosperously reflected throughout the village with some MAGNIFICENT BUILDINGS. In its day Coltishall had its own ship building yard where once many of the river s wherries were built.

Once four individual dwellings and more latterly an antique shop, this now ENVIABLE GRADE II LISTED HOME is situated along a characterful road between the GEORGIAN HIGH STREET and the PRETTY VILLAGE CHURCH. With its origins dating back to the mid eighteenth century the property is approached over a shared shingle driveway that leads to communal parking, an ALLOCATED PARKING space directly behind the property and a GARAGE with a designated HARDSTANDING FOR FURTHER PARKING. A timber gate grants private rear access to an enclosed well maintained courtyard SUN TERRACE and LAWNED GARDEN.

With a sense of CONTEMPORARY and PERIOD ELEGANCE the property formally enters into a bright ENTRANCE HALLWAY with separate doors to TWO BEDROOMS, one with an EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM and access to the rear sun terrace, presenting an ANNEXE OPPORTUNITY and independence for aging loved ones or those yet to fly the nest, or the prospect to engage in HOLIDAY LETTING amidst the renowned NORFOLK BROADS NATIONAL PARK and the nearby COASTLINE. A further door opens into a broad inner hallway which leads to a PRACTICAL UTILITY, a SHOWER ROOM neighbouring a BEDROOM and an arched door into a focal high ceilinged and SOCIABLE LOUNGE, DINING ROOM and KITCHEN with stairs rising to an onlooking MEZZANINE. To the first floor, a door off the landing enters a generous MASTER BEDROOM with an EN SUITE BATH and SHOWER ROOM.

Life at this BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED PERIOD PROPERTY is further complemented by its practical village setting on the fringe of this charming Georgian high street and its VILLAGE AMENITIES; the ICONIC RIVERSIDE COMMON with its FASHIONABLE EATERIES, passing the popular Red Lion PUBLIC HOUSE, the Outstanding PRIMARY SCHOOL and DOCTORS SURGERY. The nearby TRAIN STATION at Hoveton and WROXHAM also commutes regularly between the city and the popular north Norfolk coastal destinations of SHERINGHAM and CROMER."
