A five-bedroom townhouse in Cawston near Aylsham has come up for sale with Savills at a guide price of £595,000 – and if you've ever dreamed of owning a home with history, it might just be the perfect find.

The Grade II* listed property, known as Oak House, is thought to date back to around 1700.

The original property was much larger and has been divided into two, but even on its own Oak House still offers over 3,400 sq ft of living space, arranged over three floors.

"This is a beautiful Grade II* listed townhouse with the most stunning period features," says property agent Polly Hughes. Its rooms are spacious, with well-proportioned dimensions and high ceilings, as well as fine shuttered sash windows and feature fireplaces that really draw the eye.

On the ground floor, there is an entryway which leads to a much larger hall and then on to the principal rooms. These include a study, featuring beautiful decorative panelling, a sitting room with a feature fireplace and an office with doors that open out on to the garden.

The kitchen is well fitted and partly tiled and features a range cooker as well as two light-filled alcoves that lead through to the breakfast room. There is also a large butler's pantry.
