The Old Rectory is a brick and knapped flint property that was built in 1846 for the Rev Francis Edward Jackson Valpy.

A particularly interesting feature of this property is that is has a nuclear war shelter in the basement that was installed by a previous owner.

Natalie Howlett-Clarke, joint head of residential sales at Savills in Norfolk said: “It’s the first time in my career that I’ve sold a property with such a feature” and added “while one hopes it will never be required, it certainly provides a degree of comfort”.

Inside is ground floor accommodation comprising a drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, study, library, shower room and utility.

The sitting room has views overlooking the garden (Image: Savills) The dining room has a fireplace with inset wood burner (Image: Savills) There is plenty of storage in the bespoke kitchen, with space to add a dining table and chairs (Image: Savills) The sitting room has a south-westerly aspect and French doors that lead directly out to the garden, while the dining room next door is ideal for hosting guests for dinner parties. Both rooms also include fireplaces.........
