A former Victorian rectory with eight bedrooms and almost 1.5 acres of land is up for sale in Upton, near Acle, for £1.195 million.
Selling agent Bycrofts said Cranleigh House offers “the opportunity of various commercial uses alongside its charm as a formidable family home”.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and stretches to approximately 6,000 sq ft – with seven of the eight bedrooms enjoying en suites.
The timber front door opens to a spacious entrance hall with wood-effect flooring and stairs to the first floor.
To the right of the hallway is a large kitchen/diner fitted with an array of modern wall and base units.

Integrated appliances include two dishwashers, two ovens and an inset hob with extractor hood over. There is also space for a microwave and American-style fridge/freezer.
Double-glazed French doors open from the dining area into the garden.
The centrepiece of the ground floor is an impressive dining room with a bar area and open fireplace with inglenook beam and wood-burning stove.
Surrounding the dining room are three further reception areas – currently used as a living room, snug and study.
The dual-aspect living room also has a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove, as well as double-glazed doors out to the garden.
Completing the ground floor are a boot room, bathroom and separate WC.
A further staircase leads down to the cellar, which Bycrofts said is “perfect for wine storage, preparation and tasting!”
There are four bedrooms with en suites on the first floor, including the master bedroom with built-in cupboard space and en-suite shower room.
The three remaining bedrooms on this floor are also en suites. They are accompanied by a laundry room and WC.

On the second floor are four further bedrooms – three with en suites – and a large games room with fitted storage and an external timber door leading to a spiral staircase to the ground floor.
Cranleigh House is approached by a sweeping driveway that leads to a gravel parking area for multiple vehicles.
If further parking space is required, the current owners have secured planning permission for a double cart lodge and garage.
The south-facing gardens are mainly laid to lawn with established trees, shrubs and mature hedging. They also offer potential space for a tennis court and swimming pool.
There are views across adjacent farmland to the front and rear of the property.
