Property description
Sowerbys are pleased to offer this sympathetically converted former Coach House on Quebec Road, conveniently positioned within just a short walk of Dereham town centre. The property was the original stable block and Coach House to Quebec House, with well-presented rooms of impressive proportion. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises entrance porch, dining room, formal sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, guest bedroom, shower room and utility room on the ground floor; with a staircase rising to a landing area from where there are doors to the master bedroom and main bathroom. Throughout the property, many character features have been either retained or re-instated to give the cottage a sense of rustic charm in some areas and a feeling grandeur in the more formal rooms. In addition to the main accommodation there is also a single garage, which can be reached through the house via the garden room, with abundant off-road car parking available at the front of the property. Available immediately, unfurnished.

There are museums, a leisure centre, golf course and schools within the town, or for the nature lovers take a stroll along the Neatherd Moor and the Vicarage Meadow. Slightly further afield are the ruins of the Saxon Cathedral at North Elmham, the wildlife and Dinosaur Parks, Pensthorpe, a bird lovers paradise and Thetford Forest Park. Norwich has good local transport links with the town and has an international airport and a mainline rail link to Liverpool Street, London.
