Selling agents Savills describe Hellesdon House, located off Hellesdon Mill Lane, as an “elegant house in every way”, offering over 8,500 sq ft of accommodation and even its own bar.

The rooms are well-proportioned and versatile, with high ceilings and feature fireplaces, both typical of the period, as well as modern conveniences and en suite bathrooms to most of the 10 bedrooms.

“As soon as I walked into the grand hallway I was instantly impressed,” says Savills’ property agent, Tom Clayton. The hallway is indeed elegant, featuring a grand staircase fitted with ornate railings and plush purple carpet, which splits into two.

The hallway gives access to four main reception rooms, including a huge dining room and the ballroom, which is bathed in lots of natural light from a skylight in the centre.

Towards the front of the house there is a bar area, which is currently used as an entertaining space and features what could even be the property’s original lockable cell doors.

The rest of the ground floor is made up of the kitchen, which also features an informal lounge area, utility space, walk-in pantry and office, as well as a large shower room and plenty of storage rooms.

There are seven en suite bedrooms on the first floor, as well as a large drawing room and a spacious landing with a skylight. Three smaller bedrooms can be found on the second floor, and are served by a large family bathroom.

Outside there is a large sweeping driveway, which offers parking for numerous vehicles. A separate area has also been created that would be ideal for further parking or the creation of a garage or cart shed, subject to planning.

The rest of the garden, which extends to around two thirds of an acre, is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees creating privacy and shade. There is also a courtyard to the side and access to several outdoor store rooms.
