1 The Old Foundry, Panxworth is a property bursting with character. Now up for auction, its guide price of £350,000 - £375,000 is sure to attract those hunting for a standout property in a scenic location.
Country Character
Situated in a long, red-bricked building, 1 The Old Foundry was once part of Panxworth’s ironworks, which was established in 1869. It has now been partially converted into an attractive home, which means it would suit those who are looking for a project to complete.
The conversion carried out so far has taken full advantage of the building’s original structure. The main living area has true wow-factor thanks to its double-height ceiling and the light that is dispersed from large windows topped with glazed lunettes. This living area leads directly into a cosier space well-suited for use as a dining room.
Next door is a spacious country kitchen, perfect for an avid cook. This room shares its eye-catching fireplace with the living room, providing a centrepiece to both spaces. A W.C. and a hallway that currently serves as a utility room can also be found on the ground floor.
Up the stairs, the beauty of the building’s vaulted ceiling can be properly admired from a generous mezzanine. This level then leads to more private and enclosed areas of the house. These include a good-sized family bathroom and two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite. Many of these rooms are lent extra character by the rounded half-moon windows lining the lower walls.
Full of potential
1 The Old Foundry will provide future owners with a garage in addition to a large upstairs area that is ready for conversion into further living space. This area also stretches up to the vaulted ceiling, giving a future renovator plenty of scope for a grand vision.
The rear of the house looks out over a large garden, which provides plenty of space for a keen gardener to transform it into a real green haven. This garden backs onto a further six acres of woodland and a one-acre fishing lake, totally screened from the road by mature trees and vegetation.
A beautiful location with a fishing village
1 The Old Foundry is found in Panxworth, a quaint Broadland village just seven-and-a-half miles from the fine city of Norwich. Panxworth itself is home to picturesque scenery, historic buildings and a popular pub. Also nearby is the village of South Walsham, from which you can access some beautiful walks.
For a day out, residents can reach the coast in about 20 minutes by car. Conversely, a drive of around 25 minutes will bring you into the centre of Norwich, which is packed with independent shops, cafés, restaurants and plenty of entertainment.
