West End, Costessey, Norwich NR8

This Grade II listed former public house is believed to date from the 17th century and was converted to a home in the 1940s. It is set in approximately four acres of grounds (subject to measurement) with around 75 yards of private river frontage, on the edge of Norwich. Period features include exposed beams, pamment tiles, fireplaces and timber floors. The ground floor includes an open-plan kitchen and dining room with a Rayburn, butler sink and storage, a garden room overlooking the grounds, a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a separate study. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, as well as two further family bathrooms. The grounds include vegetable plots, fruit trees and meadow areas. Two greenhouses, powered outbuildings, a double cart shed, a garage, a fishing hut and a shepherd’s hut are also included. There is off-street parking. The property is freehold, with mains electricity, water and drainage, and gas central heating. Buyers should verify the condition and permitted uses of the buildings and any required consents, particularly given the listed status. Costessey is around three miles west of Norwich, with access to the A47, A11 and Norwich Northern Distributor Road. Norwich railway station and the airport are within reach, and local green spaces and the Marriott’s Way are nearby.
