Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this unique opportunity to purchase a detached four bedroom family home in picturesque grounds of approximately 11 acres (sts), surrounded by farmland on the outskirts of Hockering. Included within the sale is the owner's existing Boarding Kennels & Cattery business, complete with a range of buildings and enclosures. For equestrian enthusiasts, there are 6 acres (sts) of paddock along with stables and a tack/feed room. The setting is one of privacy and seclusion, with far reaching countryside views; although the village centre is only minutes away. In the past the site has been used as a nursery/market garden and also, many years ago, as a gravel pit which has given the landscape around the house a most 'un-Norfolk-like' undulating quality. The site is effectively in two parts, with the house, kennels and other outbuildings set within five acres of parkland. The adjoining six acres is flatter land which has been arranged into well maintained paddocks. The accommodation in the house briefly comprises entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, wet room and ground floor cloakroom; with four double bedrooms and the family bathroom accessed from the first floor landing. The master bedroom enjoys the benefit of an en-suite bathroom. Within the Kennels compound there is an administration/reception building with a WC and store room, a block of 10 double units, 10 single kennels, 10 bay cattery, an enclosed training area, 2 dog isolation units and a separate isolation cattery unit. These are in addition to the double garage and other outbuildings/storage buildings located around the site. 

HOCKERING The small village of Hockering is just east of Dereham and north west of the city of Norwich. Set in a very rural location, the village has quiet lanes and footpaths suitable for those wishing to explore the Norfolk countryside on foot or by bicycle.

Dereham has a comprehensive selection of shops, including supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, cinema, schools, sports and leisure facilities.
