An elegant Georgian country home in north Norfolk has come up for sale for the first time in 33 years – at a guide price of £2.85 million.
Located in the village of Fulmodeston, near Fakenham[1], Fulmodeston Hall is a Grade II listed house set in five acres of grounds with a walled garden, meadows, hard tennis court and various outbuildings.
Ben Rivett of selling agent Savills said: “To me this is the sort of house I would see in Country Life and aspire to live in, with the Georgian architecture framed by a manageable amount of land, in unspoilt countryside accessible to Holt and the coastline.”

An attractive staircase, with a roof lantern, sweeps up to a central landing that links all the bedrooms.
As with the ground floor, the larger upstairs rooms are found at the front of the house. This includes the master bedroom with en suite bathroom and adjoining dressing room – which could be used as another bedroom – and a further generous bedroom with en suite.
A further four double bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms, with all bedrooms enjoying views of the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Adjoining the house to the south is a home office with fireplace, WC and external-only access – providing a nice separation from home life.

A range of traditional outbuildings are located to the north of the main drive – and could be used in a number of ways. They comprise a five-bay cart shed, with an enclosed sixth bay for garden machinery and an electric car charger in one bay.
A further standalone 19th century building hosts the stabling, with five loose boxes, further storage areas and a tack room.
The house has two vehicular entrances, including the formal entrance through wrought iron gates that leads onto a gravelled drive sweeping up to the front of the house with a parking and turning area.
The informal – and more frequently used – driveway bypasses the front of the house, offering expanses of gravel between the house and outbuildings with substantial parking for several cars and boats. For more information, contact Savills.
