Detached period property in Docking at a £550k guide

23.11.2023

A five-bedroom period property in a sought-after North Norfolk village will be heading to auction next month with a guide price of £550,000.

The beautiful character property is set to go under the hammer with Auction House East Anglia on Wednesday 13th December. 

Rosebank, located in the popular village of Docking, is said to date back to 1795, where it first opened as the public house, The Trowel and Hammer. Later known as The Bricklayers Arms, the pub was thought to have stopped trading in 1910 and since then has functioned as a private family home.  

 

Now available at auction for the first time, the detached house is still full of stunning period features including timber beams and exposed brick fireplaces.  

On entering the property, you are greeted with an entrance hall which houses the stairs to the first floor and a decorative cast iron fireplace.  To the left is a sizeable sitting room with a floor to ceiling brick fireplace complete with cosy wood burner, while to the right is a spacious dining room with exposed brickwork and wooden beams.

The entrance hall also leads through to a generous kitchen and breakfast room, perfect for dining and relaxing, and provides access to the original cellar.

To the back of the ground floor, Rosebank also boasts a modern wet room, functional utility, a study and a fifth bedroom which enjoys direct access to the garden via double doors.

The character charm continues on the first floor, where you’ll find four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rooms are all beautifully presented, perfectly blending modern furnishings with unique character features, including a stunning stained-glass floral window. 

 

Outside, Rosebank enjoys a picturesque village location, a well-maintained garden, ample off-road parking and a courtyard to the side of the property, which is perfectly suited to entertaining during the summer months.

Located in the north-west corner of Norfolk, Docking is one of the highest points in the county and is popular with families and professionals alike. The village is home to a range of amenities, including a small supermarket, post office, public house, fish and chip shop, primary school, doctors’ surgery, and a weekly local market.

The property also benefits from easy access to the North Norfolk coastline and with the town of Hunstanton situated just 3-4 miles away, it is an ideal location for those hoping to explore North Norfolk and its many charms.

Rosebank goes up for sale by livestream auction with Auction House East Anglia on Wednesday 13th December at 11am. For more information, including legal packs and viewing times, contact Auction House East Anglia here.
