DESCRIPTION North Runcton Lodge, mentioned in Bill Wilson’s updated Pevsner Guide to North-West & South Norfolk, dates from the early 17th

century although it underwent gentrification when it was substantially re-modelled and enlarged in the early 1800s. The earliest part of the house comprises the reception hall and morning room whilst the majority of the rest of the accommodation is Georgian and enjoys high ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and sash windows which allow in an abundance of natural light throughout. The drawing room and dining room are of particular note due to their elegant proportions and views onto the garden. The staircase hall is equally of merit with beautiful flagstones, a charming staircase and doors out onto the lawn. There are several further good rooms, the library, sitting room and breakfast room serviced by the kitchen, butler’s pantry laundry room and plentiful storage. On the first floor there are 8 spacious bedrooms with good ceiling heights and lovely views to the rear over the lawns to woodland beyond. The bedrooms are served by 2 family bathrooms, a laundry room and kitchenette with 3 further attic rooms. GARDENS AND GROUNDS The majority of the garden is laid to lawn, bordered by a tall wall to the east and a lake and woodland to the north. There are some beautiful mature trees throughout the grounds and an orchard and vegetable garden to the west. There is a double access to the front door via a gravel driveway and access to the west of the house to the large coach house with groom’s quarters above and ample garden storage.
