Introducing Longwood House, a distinguished five-bedroom 1913 built Edwardian detached residence that has been extended over the years and is nestled down a private driveway adorned with recently planted Crabtree and Hornbeam trees. Situated on approximately 1.25 acres of grounds (subject to measured survey), Longwood House offers breathtaking views across the Tas Valley. Tasburgh is located just South of Norwich`s historic Cathedral City centre. This period property features a delightful 31` kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility room, cloakroom, boot room, a cosy family room, sitting room and study. The first floor hosts four bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate shower room and a cloakroom off the landing. The entire second floor is dedicated to attic bedroom five with an en-suite cloakroom. The property benefits from modern comforts with double glazing, oil-fired central heating and external access to a cellar with three rooms. Externally ample parking is provided on the driveway with space to build a garage or carport if desired, while the gardens, which are predominantly lawned, offer various seating areas and abundant space for chickens, pets, and even your own allotment area. Longwood House combines period charm with contemporary amenities, creating an idyllic living experience in the picturesque South Norfolk countryside.
The village is served by a primary school and further amenities are approximately two and a half miles down the road in Long Stratton which has a supermarket, school, sporting and social activities, as well as a selection of good rural pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages. Norwich, the Cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, has a thriving retail business and cultural sectors as well as first class education in both the private and state sectors. The market town of Wymondham is about seven miles to the West with a Waitrose supermarket, education for all ages including Wymondham College and a direct rail service to Cambridge.
