Updated by the current owners, the house retains the generous proportions and adaptable layout that make period homes so appealing, whilst offering plenty of scope for modern family life. The accommodation is particularly versatile, with four bedrooms arranged across two floors. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, offering excellent flexibility for those seeking single-level living, guest accommodation, a home office or hobby space. Upstairs, two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, with additional WCs on both floors. The ground floor has been arranged with family life and entertaining in mind, with a sitting room, separate dining room and conservatory providing plenty of space to relax, work or gather together. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, whilst the conservatory provides a lovely everyday living space with views across the garden.

Outside, the privately enclosed rear garden provides a peaceful setting for relaxing, gardening or entertaining, with the conservatory creating a natural connection between inside and out. The detached garage and adjoining workshop are a real bonus, offering secure parking alongside useful additional space for storage, hobbies, tools or those with a practical interest. The property has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, providing a comfortable home that can be enjoyed immediately whilst retaining plenty of scope for its next custodian to make their own mark. Its position on the edge of Dereham is equally appealing, offering a quieter setting whilst remaining within easy reach of the town’s shops, schools, leisure facilities and everyday amenities. The A47 is also conveniently accessible, providing straightforward connections towards Norwich, King’s Lynn and the wider Norfolk countryside. Point House is a characterful and adaptable home, offering space, flexibility and practicality in a well-connected position - a property ready to evolve with its next owners. DEREHAM Nestled in the Brecklands, Dereham is a classic country market town with Georgian architecture and more recent developments. In the eighth century, Anna, King of East Anglia’s youngest daughter, founded a nunnery and prayed for a miracle during a famine. Two deer appeared daily, providing milk. When a huntsman tried to capture them, he was killed after being thrown from his horse, believed to be divine retribution. This event is depicted on a town sign at the entry to Butter Market from the High Street. Today, Dereham boasts a twice-weekly market on Tuesdays and Fridays, numerous independent shops, and free parking, making it a great spot for an afternoon browse. Notable landmarks include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, running 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, the Grade II listed Dereham Windmill, and Bishop Bonner’s Cottage, the oldest building in town, established in 1502. Nearby attractions for heritage enthusiasts include Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, Castle Acre Castle and Priory, and the National Trust property Oxburgh Hall, all within a short drive. For dining, try Spice Fusion curry house or The George Hotel, Bar and Restaurant, known for its excellent accommodation, food, and award-winning drinks. Brisley, 6.5 miles away, hosts The Brisley Bell, a highly acclaimed pub, while The Old Dairy in Stanfield offers artisan bread and produce. With good local schools, a leisure centre, and a golf course, Dereham and its surrounding villages provide an ideal blend of Norfolk country living with easy access to Norwich and the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea, just 22 miles away.
