An impressive detached former rectory with expansive grounds and its own spa in North Burlingham, east of Norwich, is set to go to auction next month at a guide price of £750,000 - £850,000 (plus fees).
Oaklands on Lingwood Road has been much improved in recent years and is finished to a high standard, benefitting from dual heating systems and quality fittings, while retaining many of its numerous character features.

Upon entering the striking brick home, you are met with a useful cloakroom and utility just off the entrance hall, which has stairs to the second floor.
Moving further into the property, you’ll find a goodsized farmhouse style kitchen/ dining room with a large window letting in lots of light. The kitchen also features a Belfast sink and a range cooker.
Also on the ground floor is a spacious sitting room with large windows and a comfortable garden room/ conservatory opening into the garden.
Head upstairs and you will find three generously-sized and light-filled bedrooms, a tiled family bathroom with a bath and shower, and a further bedroom which could be used as a nursery, spare room or office space.
Perhaps one of the most impressive features of Oaklands is its gardens which extend to approximately 1.4 acres (subject to measured survey) and include extensive parking areas and garaging. Much of the grounds are laid to lawn but feature some areas of formal planting and a small orchard.

Also on the grounds of the property are a brick and tile office building, great for those looking to work from home, a cosy summer house, potting shed and an outside store which houses the wood-fired central heating boiler.
A detached, purpose-built, barnstyle outbuilding currently houses the property’s own spa bath and sauna with a convenient shower too.
Of course, if spa days aren’t your thing, this building has the potential for a range of other uses (subject to planning).
Oaklands in North Burlingham will go up for sale by auction with Auction House East Anglia on July 26, 2023, at 11am. For more information including legal packs, or to arrange a viewing, please contact Auction House East Anglia.
