4 bedroom country houseCargate Lane, Norwich, NR15 1TU

UNIQUE AND VERY SPACIOUS PROPERTY SITS ON 0.6 ACRE PLOT (approx) roadside along the A140 at the foot of Cargate Lane, with it's own private RIVER FRONTAGE, an OLD TENNIS LAWN, STABLES & OUTBUILDINGS and an UNUSUAL ADDITION - A BANQUETING ROOM/OLD CINEMA! * The location of the proprey means there is some road noise in the garden but it is very quiet when inside the house. Dating from 1810 with later 1920's additions, this property offers an unusual bonus - an adjacent barn which was originally converted into a cinema in the 1950's and later used as a banqueting room. Many original character features are displayed throughout this property; the owners have carefully improved it retaining and enhancing original character where possible. The property is located along the A140 The Banqueting Room/Cinema features recessed lighting washing the ceiling with light; reclaimed oak strip flooring from a local dance hall and a large fireplace with inset woodburner flanked by oak panelling. There are original floorboard to the dining room along with an Adams style fireplace. The property benefits from many exposed beams and there are mostly 1920's original panel doors throughout with the original ironmongery, many of them stripped to expose the wood. The sitting room has a reclaimed Victorian fireplace and slate hearth again with original floorboards while the study has the same oak flooring as the banquet hall. The kitchen has an original classic 1950's AGA that has been reconditioned and is in lovely order. There is also a hidden bankers safe at the property complete with the original split keys. Outside, the lawn to the rear was originally the tennis courts. Through the perimeter hedges, you come to the bank of the river Tas. This strip of river frontage is privately owned. There is a range of outbuildings of brick and clay lump construction under a pantile roof. Two stables, tack room, general store, workshop, feed store and boiler room.
