The sitting room has an imposing timber fire place with a stoned plinth which houses a Barbas log burner. Both the drawing room and kitchen/breakfast room have a timber floor and French windows with access to the terrace and the back gardens.
Upstairs there is a master en-suite bathroom and dressing room with views over the back garden. There are 4 further bedrooms, 2 with en suite bathrooms and one with en suite shower.
Adjoining to the house there is a triple garage, boot room and gym.
There are two separate boilers, one of which heats the ground floor and the other the first floor.
Outbuildings
To the north of the house is a range of outbuildings confined within a secure solid timber fence. In this compound there is a machinery store and further garaging and a studio which is sound insulated and has an electricity supply and WC. To the west of these outbuildings is a former piggery with brick elevations asbestos roof.
Gardens and Land
The house has commanding views over the front and back lawn as well as to the river. Either side of the driveway the front lawn is studded by mature trees and herbaceous borders. To the east of the house there is a timber terrace which leads on to the formal gardens and then into further natural woodland.
Beyond is a large paddock currently being used for grazing horses which is connected to the meadow which sweeps down to the river. Between one particular meander of the River Bure there is a pond which attracts a huge variety of wildlife and there is evidence of a former ox-bow lake to the north.

Oaklea stands in a secluded rural setting along the side of the River Bure. The property is approached from a single track country lane and is approximately 5 miles from the Georgian market town of Holt which has excellent shopping, schooling and leisure facilities, including the popular Greshams School for Boys and Girls aged 4 to 18 years.
