A unique opportunity to acquire this spacious detached village residence with attached former annexe occupying a large established plot with Triple garage and courtyard. Also with commercial use and until recently run as a successful day nursery. The house offers immense potential to create further accommodation or other business uses. EPC E
SITUATION & LOCATION Formally a six bedroomed house with attached two bedroom Annex, Martin Place was adapted in 2002 to provide an OFSTED registered 54 place day nursery. The Day Nursery has now closed, although could be reopened by the new owners should they wish to re-establish a nursery at the site.
Although the former Annex and main house share the same water supply, they each have their own electricity supply and independent oil central heating. The former annex could be reinstated or provide supplementary accommodation to the main residence. Alternatively, another suitable business use could be established, subject to local planning approval.
The main residence currently includes three first floor bedrooms as well as the large nursery room positioned above the lounge and dining area that formally provided three additional bedrooms and could very easily be reinstated.
The property occupies a large corner plot location and is centrally located within the village. The established gardens include a courtyard with access to a triple garage as well as a separate office building. There is excellent parking to both the front and rear of the property.
The sale of Martin Place offers purchasers a unique opportunity to acquire a large and versatile property in this popular West Norfolk village. Whether you are seeking a large family home or wish to establish a business/home environment, viewings are highly recommended.
