Lonely Lane, Pulham St. Mary

A spacious and superbly presented detached country house in an idyllic rural position with delightful gardens and panoramic views. The property is along a delightful country lane and benefits from no immediate neighbours.

PROPERTY The property is a superb period house that has been extended and updated, and is surrounded by open fields. It offers superbly presented accommodation that is both spacious and versatile. There is a ground floor shower room and a study/bedroom 5 making it future proofed. It is also considered the accommodation could be configured to create an annexe.

The vendors have landscaped the gardens and both the house and its rural setting, are perfectly arranged for entertaining. There is even a terrace with outdoor kitchen at the rear of the property enjoying panoramic westerly views and ready for alfresco entertaining.

The front door opens to a spacious entrance hall that leads to the impressive vaulted drawing room with woodburning stove, a study/bedroom 5 and a ground floor shower room. It is considered this area could potentially be arranged to create a self-contained annexe. From the hall is a spacious dining room which connects brilliantly with the sitting room and the excellent kitchen/breakfast room. It is fitted with a comprehensive range of painted shaker style units and an Aga. The breakfast area has superb rural views. There is a large pantry and an impressive utility room. Also on the ground floor is a further reception room/study with a door to outside and would work brilliantly for those working from home and have clients visiting. On the first floor are four double bedrooms with the principal benefitting from an ensuite and there is a family bathroom.

At either end of the ground floor is an attached garage, one of which is used as workshop. In the garden is a detached outbuilding which has been converted at one end to form a leisure/games room with feature Middle Eastern fire. The other end of the building is divided into two garden stores.

The grounds are a delightful feature of the property with a wide array of mature shrubs and trees throughout. At the front is a kitchen garden and gates open to a gravel driveway with parking for several cars. The principal area of the garden is laid to lawn and in one corner is a seating area with superb views.

AGENT'S NOTE Within the title is a public footpath. This is on the perimeter and vendors have erected fencing within the boundary to provide screening which gives the garden seclusion and privacy.
