The Friends Meeting House is a former Quaker chapel dating back to the 1700’s and is now a Grade II listed property, bought by the current owners in the 1980’s, and extensively converted to create a beautiful character filled family home. It enjoys a tranquil, easy living lifestyle on the fringe of the picturesque rural riverside village of Lamas, where there is a bus service to Norwich, and separated from the neighbouring village of Buxton by the River Bure, where local amenities include services and schooling.
Set into the roadside wall of the property are three original gravestones of Anna Sewell, the authoress of Black Beauty, her parents Isaac and Mary and her uncle John Wright and his wife Ann.
Located on a generous plot approaching a quarter of an acre and with water meadow views to the front, the property is approached through a five-bar gate onto a shingle driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the rear of the property, where mature shrubs and trees border a neatly maintained lawned garden with paved terraces, a timber storage shed and a summer house with views to the front.
Beautifully presented throughout, with many original features including stone work and beams, the property’s main entrance provides access into a broad hallway where separate internal doors lead into a kitchen diner, with a separate utility and a family lounge with feature fire place and double doors that open out to the garden. Further doors from the hallway lead into a shower room and a double bedroom (currently used as a study). To the first floor, a family bath and shower room and two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and storage complete the accommodation.
Whether as an enviable family home or an idyllic escape to the country and the renowned Norfolk Broads, The Friends Meeting House is further complemented in its proximity, of four miles to the market town of Aylsham with its variety of amenities, less than eleven miles to the picturesque north Norfolk coastline or ten miles to Norwich, the heart of the county’s historic city centre.
