The Old Rectory is a fine Victorian family house dating back to 1839, which has been the much-loved family home of the current owners for the past 40 years.
The property has good family accommodation spread over two floors, with part of the first floor transformed into a separate apartment. The drawing room and sitting room both still have period features including stone-mullioned windows and an attractive open fireplace respectively. The dining room leads through to the large kitchen/breakfast room which comprises the heart of the house. A spacious cellar sits under the stairs. The conservatory lies at the end of a corridor which also leads to the pool complex, with a large indoor heated swimming pool and a games room, plus a large garden room.

Upstairs are the master bedroom suite and two further double bedrooms, plus a single bedroom and a family bathroom. Reached from the half landing is the self-contained flat which currently offers a hallway, bathroom, kitchen, sitting room and bedrooms.
Outside is a vegetable garden and solar panels which provide heat for the swimming pool. The main gardens are laid to lawn; there is also a rose garden and a further area interspersed with flowering cherries and a small area of woodland. The grounds extend to around two acres.
The Old Rectory is situated within the Norfolk hamlet of Woodrising, adjacent to the 14th century church. The village of Hingham is about two miles to the east and has good local amenities, and Wymondham and Dereham are also within easy reach for further local requirements.
