Grade two listed country house requiring restoration and refurbishment

This imposing detached country residence is unexpectedly to be re-offered due to personal circumstances of the new owner. It is an impressive Grade II listed Georgian country house set in 11.5 acres (stms) of mature gardens now requiring full modernisation and redecoration to realise its obvious potential. Many attractive and original period features remain and the property benefits from a useful range of modern and period barns in the grounds. The former family home of Wing Commander Ken Wallis, well known for flying the auto-gyro "Little Nellie" in the 007 film "You Only Live Twice". The house has been empty for a number of years but is now to be sold with vacant possession and is in need of complete modernisation and refurbishment. The property has well balanced and spacious living accommodation with four main reception rooms, various domestic offices, seven bedrooms, a self contained adjoining staff cottage and a range of useful outhouses. Within the grounds there are many mature trees, extensive parking areas, a range of brick and tiled barns and two more modern workshops. The gardens are also in need of attention but are extremely private and sheltered, giving a high degree of seclusion. Reymerston Hall is situated in the small village of Reymerston which lies south-west of the market town of Dereham with a wide range of facilities including shops, schools and regular public transport networked to all major centres. The county town of Norwich lies approximately 12 miles to the east where a mainline railway station and airport can be found.
