Once within its beautiful grounds of just under five acres, and close enough to appreciate its beautiful detailing and immaculate gardens, visitors are further struck by its elegant exterior and glorious surroundings.

The Grade II Listed country property, which is on the market with Jackson-Stops & Staff at a guide price of £2,750,000, is a fine stucco rendered house, which dates back to the 19th century.

Located at Fulmodeston, between Holt and Fakenham, its exquisite features include a beautifully restored plaster relief depicting a shepherd, his dog and some sheep.

Inside, the Georgian house still presents period features such as a mahogany staircase, tall sash windows with original shutters, and high ceilings with ornate mouldings.

Upon entering via the colonnaded portico, visitors find themselves in the spacious, light hallway with its sweeping staircase.

To the right is the formal drawing room and to the left the impressive dining room. Further on, is the sitting room, which has French windows on to the garden, and the kitchen breakfast room, with its handmade painted units and four-oven Aga.

There is also a large larder and utility room, a laundry and a cloakroom.

Fulmodeston Hall is very much a family home and the generous accommodation continues upstairs. Here an open galleried landing gives on to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, which also has a Jack-and-Jill door on to the landing. There is a family bathroom and a shower room, and a guest bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room. Bedroom seven is currently being used as a dressing room.

To one side of the house, and overlooking the beautiful walled garden, is a large sandstone terrace, with steps leading down to avenues of lavender hedging and cherry trees.
