Beautiful 17th century house in Boughton looking for new owners who can pay £950,000

This property is one-of-a-kind - a true Norfolk gem which has stood the test of time and is here to stay for many more years.

Hall House dates back to the 17th century and is believed to be one of the oldest properties in the lovely village of Boughton.

It is in a lovely setting in nine-and-a-half acres and, having been in the present family for more than 40 years, it is now ready to meet new owners.

Hall House is discreetly positioned on Mill Hill Road offering a true sense of privacy. It stands at the end of a private drive lined with mature trees.

The farmhouse style living space is warm and welcoming with large windows and rooms and period features including beams.

There is a light bright library at the front and a friendly family kitchen at the hub of the home.

Features include two open fireplaces in the reception rooms to keep the house cosy and warm. One is an imposing inglenook.

Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room next to the kitchen.

Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms and the family bathroom, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a well-appointed en-suite bathroom. This is one of the most recently updated rooms and is a clear example of what can be achieved here.

The outside space is as impressive as the property itself. The garden has been split and many hidden gardens have been created, from a Greek-inspired garden to an Italian garden, and to mature trees as well as open fields where the wildlife roam.

There is even a swimming pool which would really lend itself to an update to be enjoyed and returned to its former glory. It’s just another feature that makes this house perfect for a family and ideal for someone who is looking for a forever home.

There is plenty of parking space, a garage, a workshop and a shed.

The house roof and 60 per cent of the rafters were replaced last year.

Boughton itself is a charming village centred on a pond and green with a close knit community feel. The residents take such pride in their village that it has been a winner in Best Kept Village and Pride in Norfolk competitions. The nearest town is Downham, just 7 miles away.
