Norfolk, NR25 6BA
Tenure:
Freehold
Having been in the possession of the current owner for the last 44 years, Nelson House is bound to attract considerable interest. A former home of the Suckling family, Horatio Nelson's maternal forebears, and still with much of its original fabric, this fine building has been used as the office of its current owner, a chartered surveyor, who has, as would be expected, maintained the fabric impeccably. This ideally-positioned three-bay house would lend itself to either commercial use (as an atique/art gallery, for instance) or for restoration (subject to necessary consents) to the distinguished private home that it once was. It could also, of course, be a combination of both commercial and private use. Holt is a delightful, gracious and elegant Georgian town in north Norfolk, a stone's throw from Blakeney, one of the most enchanting towns on the popular north-Norfolk coast. Holt offers excellent shopping facilities and is also the home to the famous Gresham's School (founded in 1555). Nelson House has great potential for a second home, or even a bed and breakfast, in this popular part of the country. We understand that planning consent for change to full residential use has been granted. The building is grade II listed and viewing is very strongly recommended.

Further History

Nelson's mother, Catherine Suckling, was a great niece of Sir Robert Walpole, of nearby Houghton Hall and the name of B.W.Suckling with the date 1828 was discovered etched into the lead of the porch canopy during recent restoration work. Benjamin William Suckling, Nelson's first cousin, was was at one time Rector of Holt, Plumstead and Matlask and died in 1838. The footprint of the present house is very much as it would have been in Benjamin Suckling's day.
