Six-bed period home is for sale in Thorpe St Andew for £1m

Hill House was built in the 1900s and sits on the corner of Hill Road in Thorpe St Andrew, which selling agents Fine & Country say is the “perfect position”.

“It’s close to the river, to open countryside, to the shops, schools and to the city itself,” says a spokesperson for the firm, “making it the perfect position for making the most of everything the area has to offer.”

Despite being built over a century ago, the current owners are only the second set of residents to live at the property.

They originally purchased it at auction and since buying it have restored it, preserving many of its original features and creating a family-friendly home along the way.

The property still remains one of only a handful of homes built at the same time and in the same style. Its highlights include decorative gable ends and stained glass, as well as picture rails, wooden floors and a lovely fireplace in the main sitting room.

Accommodation is spacious, featuring two well-proportioned reception rooms on the ground floor – including a formal dining room, which seats ten - and a good-sized and well-fitted kitchen.

Off the kitchen there is a useful utility space and a rear hall which leads to a self-contained annexe.

This would be ideal for older relatives, or perhaps younger members of the family who would like a bit of independence, as it comprises a shower room, living space with a kitchenette and a good-sized bedroom.

Upstairs, there are four en suite bedrooms.

Hill House also provides plenty of parking – which is ideal for commuters, as it easily connects to the NDR and A47 and is on a good bus route, which connects to the city via Norwich railway station.

At the rear, a covered porch runs the entire length of the property and overlooks the lawn, with a raised terrace providing plenty of opportunity for al fresco dining.

There’s also a further area of garden to the front of the house.
