Description

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of West Norfolk, Uphall is a stunning Grade II listed Georgian residence that exudes elegance and historical significance. Set within approximately five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, mature woodlands, and formal grounds, this property offers a quintessential English country living experience. Dating back to the late 18th century, Uphall boasts a rich history, having once been home to Lady Fermoy, a close confidante of the Queen Mother. The residence features a striking red-brick façade and an impressive interior with finely proportioned rooms that blend period charm with modern functionality. The expansive accommodation spans over 8,000 sq.ft. across four floors, beginning with a grand reception hall that leads to beautifully arranged reception rooms ideal for both formal entertaining and comfortable living. A brand new Honeywell heating system ensures year-round comfort, complemented by multiple open fireplaces that add warmth and character. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast and family room serves as the heart of the home, equipped with a traditional four-oven electric AGA and a charming handcrafted kitchen. Additional versatile spaces include a snug and cellar-level rooms for hobbies or storage. The upper floors accommodate up to eleven bedrooms and six bathrooms, providing exceptional flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. Many rooms offer sweeping views of the surrounding gardens and countryside, enhancing the sense of privacy and tranquility. The external grounds are equally impressive, featuring formal gardens, rolling lawns, and a variety of mature trees. A paved terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, while a full-size tennis court and a Victorian swimming pond add unique recreational opportunities. The property also includes a characterful coach house and stable block with potential for conversion, alongside practical outbuildings for storage or country pursuits. Uphall is not just a home; it is a remarkable estate that embodies the beauty of rural living.

Confidence: LOW

Uphall is a stunning Grade II listed Georgian residence located in the serene countryside of West Norfolk, close to the royal Sandringham Estate. With its rich historical context and elegant period features, including beautifully proportioned reception rooms and multiple well-maintained bathrooms, this property offers a unique opportunity to acquire a home steeped in character at a remarkably cheap asking price of £1,950,000, which is £248/sqf—28.5% below the local average of £348/sqf. This makes it an attractive prospect for potential buyers looking to invest in a home with both charm and space.

Set within approximately five acres of landscaped gardens and formal grounds, the property boasts generous living spaces suitable for families and is finished to a high standard. While the ongoing maintenance costs associated with large estates should be considered, the overall condition of the property is excellent, with a well-maintained exterior and modern systems in place. With ample room for personal touches and improvements, Uphall presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to create their own slice of country living while enjoying the benefits of a historic and beautifully crafted home.
