A former lodge house, built in a Tudor style but believed to date back to the 19th century, has come up for sale in Stoke Holy Cross, around four miles from Norwich.

"The Lodge is one of the most visually striking homes in the area and a real local landmark property," says Savills' property agent, Tom Clayton, who is selling the home at a guide price of £700,000.

The property was originally the gate lodge for nearby Stoke Hall, which was re-built in around 1850, before being largely demolished in the 1930s.

The Lodge itself has been recently renovated and would make a remarkable family home, offering four bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms, as well as extensive character features which Savills say make it a 'must see' property. Highlights include sandblasted beams and stunning feature fireplaces in both the sitting and dining rooms.

Upstairs there is a good-sized shower room and four double bedrooms, including the master which also has an en suite bathroom.

The Lodge sits in just over half an acre and enjoys a lovely location, as it backs on to open countryside.

The property also offers ample off-road parking thanks to a large driveway and garage. There is also a separate workshop space.
