SITUATION
Whitlingham Hall is situated about 3 miles from the centre of the city of Norwich. The Hall has easy access to the A47 Norwich southern bypass, and this provides connections to the A11 and M11 with access to London, Cambridge or Stansted.
Today, it's a small village with a thriving community which benefits from a sports hall, astroturf football pitch, dry ski slope, woodland walks, riverside picnic areas, and a common right in the centre. There are two pubs, the White Horse Inn and the Crown Point Tavern, and a vegetarian café, as well as a primary school which is rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted. Adjacent Whitlingham Country Park has two broads, one a conservation lake, the other for water based leisure activities, and is a lovely setting for walking, cycling or relaxing.
The Cathedral City of Norwich has a vibrant business community and as the regional centre has an extensive range of cultural and leisure facilities, including the Norwich City football club, the Riverside leisure development complete with cinema and numerous restaurants and pubs. The city has an excellent range of state and private schools and is
well known for its excellent shopping with a combination of independent retailers along with a number of premium department stores.
Norwich has a mainline railway station with a service to London Liverpool Street and the expanding Norwich International Airport is just to the north of the city. The Norfolk Broads and the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts which are renowned for their sandy beaches, bird reserves and sailing facilities are all in easy driving distance. In addition, there are a number of golf courses, country clubs and health clubs nearby.

HISTORICAL NOTE
Whitlingham Hall was built in 1865 to the design of H E Coe in the Elizabethan style for the Norwich banker Sir Robert Harvey. It then passed into the hands of the Colman family, the mustard manufacturers. It was extended in 1882 and remained the family home until the 1950’s. In 2003, the PJ Livesey Group, converted Whitlingham Hall into several apartments and houses. The Grade II listed Hall stands in landscaped gardens and grounds of about 7 acres.
__________
DESCRIPTION
Number 7 Whitlingham Hall is located on the second floor (serviced by both a staircase and a lift) and has the benefit of far-reaching views from this elevation, but also no neighbours above. The residents have access to the gardens and can enjoy the lake and fountain and can also use the large Victorian orangery. The main hall is entered through the front door on the ground floor to the spacious communal entrance hall with its wonderful panelling and period features. An inner hall gives access to the lift and stairs which service the first and second floors. The apartment benefits from secondary glazing throughout, and solid oak oiled chevron flooring to the main living spaces and 2nd bedroom.
Offering approximately 1600sq ft of living accommodation, 7 Whitlingham Hall is a stunning 2-bedroom second floor apartment which has been finished to an excellent standard. Many original features have been retained throughout the building and the exceptional ceiling heights create a grand yet modern living experience.
The front door opens into a small entrance lobby before another door opens into the large hallway.
At the end of the hallway is the large (22’6 x 20’6) dual aspect sitting room complete with French doors leading out to the private south-facing balcony (15’ x 5’) complete with high quality Easigrass (an all season grass covering alternative) and mid-height windows to the Easterly aspect. A central gas fireplace is a real feature of this room as are the angular ceilings, being in the upper elevations of the former house.
The separate modern fitted kitchen complete with granite worktops and solid oak units is big enough (15’1 x 14’) to fit a dining table and enjoys a direct southerly view of the communal grounds through the large south facing window. Miele and Neff appliances have been installed.
The incredibly large (19’ x 17’4) main bedroom is located at the other end of the apartment, complete with substantial fitted units and storage and has the benefit of a modern en suite shower room.
A second bedroom (17’6 x 13’1) [currently dressed as a study] also has built in wardrobes and makes for a delightful room/study whilst the family bathroom off the hallway completes the accommodation.
__________
OUTSIDE
The Hall stands in 7 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds which are for the use of all residents and includes a large lake with fountain. In addition, residents have the use of the beautiful orangery. There is one reserved parking space to the front of the property in the car park and a second space is reserved in the secure underground garage. Visitor parking spaces are also available.
__________
TENURE
The property is being sold leasehold with a share of the freehold. A 999 year lease was granted on the 1st January 2002 leaving approximately 977 remaining. We understand around 45 of the 56 properties equally own a share of the freehold and this share will be transferred to the new owner. A management company is in place, and we believe the current annual service charge to be in the region of £6000pa.
__________
DIRECTIONS
From Norwich, head south/east out on the A146 Lowestoft Road. Proceed under the southern bypass and at the last set of traffic lights, turn left signposted to Kirby Bedon and Bramerton. Take the first drive on the left and follow this for approximately ½ mile and the entrance to Whitlingham Hall can be found on the right-hand side. Enter via the security gates and parking can be found in front of the main hall.
