Auction House East Anglia

Tucked in the beautiful Norfolk countryside is Dominion, Dereham Road, an eye-catching detached property with a colonnaded exterior. This rural home will be offered for auction at a guide price of £180,000 – £200,000 (plus fees), making it an enticing proposition for those looking to give a country house a new lease of life.

A picturesque property

Built to handsome proportions in 1810, this property has plenty of character. Wooden beams are visible in the interior and arched windows grace many of the rooms.

The house was extended in the 1970s, with improvements including a spacious conservatory overlooking neighbouring fields. With the right permissions, the new owner could further extend the property to create an even more generous footprint.

On the ground floor, two reception rooms offer comfortable spaces for a family to relax. A kitchen, which needs modernising, and a family bathroom are also located on this floor.

Up the stairs is a space that could be used as a bedroom or adapted to be an office or cosy reading area. Two additional bedrooms are positioned on either side of this space.

Verdant views

Dominion is enclosed by farmland and sits beside a large private garden. This ensures that future residents can enjoy plenty of beautiful country views.

A garage and storage shed are also based on the property, along with a concrete standing area that was formerly used to house dog kennels. The kennels themselves have now been dismantled.

Rural living with accessible amenities

The property sits on the fringes of the attractive Norfolk village of Litcham. A 20-minute walk brings you to the village’s shops and church, as well as a popular pub. The village is also home to Litcham School, which caters for children aged four to 16.

The market towns of Dereham and Swaffham are just a 16-minute and 18-minute drive away respectively. Both boast regular markets in addition to independent shops and cafés. It’s also possible to see vintage trains at Dereham Station.
