Description Dating back to 1867, this impressive Victorian detached home occupies an elevated position with far-reaching views across Whitlingham Broad.

The kitchen/breakfast room connects seamlessly to a utility room and cloakroom, while a secondary staircase provides convenient access to the first floor.
At the rear of the house, a stunning conservatory creates a unique Mediterranean-inspired retreat, complete with mature grape vines, flower beds and doors opening onto both sides of the courtyard garden.
On the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom shared with bedroom three.
A further generous double bedroom enjoys a front-facing aspect and en-suite facilities, alongside an additional room suitable as either a bedroom or home office and a utility room.
