A stunning detached house in East Harling, near Thetford, dating from the early Victorian era has hit the market for £1.595m.
The White House is described by selling agent Strutt & Parker as a “substantial and imposing” property that has recently been “comprehensively renovated and modernised to a high specification finish”.
It retains a number of period features including cornicing, ceiling roses and ornate stone and marble fireplaces, as well as working shutters and sash windows.
On the ground floor, an attractive tiled hallway leads to some “fabulous spaces” created by the current owners. The highlight is the expansive kitchen/breakfast room, which also has a seating area and double doors to the south-facing terrace.

The bespoke kitchen has marble work surfaces and a tiled floor with underfloor heating, plus a roof lantern providing lots of light. It also enjoys a range of appliances including a wine fridge, an induction hob and two ovens, along with a pantry.
Sliding doors open into a panelled dining room with the flexibility to be incorporated into the kitchen or separated off. The dining room leads through to a cosy study.
A separate drawing room and sitting room both have woodburning stoves and bay windows, with the sitting room enjoying a charming window seat.
Completing the ground floor are two WCs, a large utility room and a games room/bar with bi-fold doors leading on to the terrace.
There are five bedrooms spread across the first and second floors, four of which have en suites. The principal bedroom also has a dressing room and bay window overlooking the rear garden.
Alongside the house is a two-storey annexe/garage block with a double car port and separate garage.

A door opens from the garage to an area currently used as a therapy/beauty room with gym adjacent. There is also a separate WC and en-suite shower room.
On the first floor is a substantial studio/office measuring 36ft x 21ft.
Strutt & Parker said the annexe has been built specifically with flexibility in mind and could potentially be converted to provide two bedrooms and a kitchen/sitting room. There is potential for more accommodation in the studio if it is sectioned off.
Outside, electric gates with ornate railings provide access to a large parking area in front of the house.

The village of East Harling offers local amenities including a post office and convenience store, public houses, takeaway restaurants, primary school, doctors surgery and a butcher.
Harling Road railway station provides access to Cambridge, Norwich and beyond, while Thetford and Attleborough provide everyday amenities including supermarkets.
