Hempstead NR25

THE PROPERTY
The property offered for sale is a highly individual detached period property situated in a superb rural location in the heart of this popular village, just 2 miles from the Georgian town of Holt. The Old School Room was originally constructed in 1877 and used originally as a school, then a reading room and meeting rooms over the years. The building remained empty for many years until 1977 when the present owners purchased the property and converted it into a dwelling. The accommodation now comprises a sitting room, a garden room, a dining room and kitchen, a utility room, three bedrooms, a shower room, bathroom and a cloakroom. The property enjoys the benefit of some secondary double glazing and oil fired central heating. Outside, there is hard standing for 2/3 vehicles and there are pleasant private grounds surrounding the property on all four sides. There is no onward chain.

LOCATION
Hempstead is a small unspoilt village located about 2 miles south east of Holt. The village is not far from the coast at Weybourne and is set amongst rolling countryside with lovely walks and cycle rides on the doorstep. The Pigs pub at Edgefield is close by and is known for its excellent food and drink. The ruins of Baconsthorpe Castle are in the adjoining village and Selbrigg Lake, where the river Glaven rises, is nearby. The village is only a couple of miles from the elegant Georgian town of Holt. The centre of Holt comprises mainly individual shops and businesses where a friendly and personal service still remains. The town is also home to Gresham's Public Schools. The North Norfolk coastline is about 14 miles distant with Salthouse, Cley, Blakeney and Morston all within easy reach. Holt is well serviced by bus routes with direct rail links to Cambridge and London from King's Lynn and Norwich. Norwich Airport has access to most international destinations via Amsterdam (Schiphol).
