Never before available, this impressive property was built by the owners back in 1992 as their long-term home. Sitting in generous gardens within a convenient but rural position, it’s perfect for an active retired couple or family alike and has all the space you could need. It also beautifully balances traditional materials and craftsmanship with easy maintenance and modern comforts, so there’s plenty of character here too.

Quality And CareA builder by trade, after many years of improving houses for other people, the owner jumped at the chance to design and build his own home. The result is a property with great charm and huge appeal. Planned with both aesthetics and practicality in mind, it’s very attractive and has plenty of features and quality materials and craftsmanship throughout but also works well for day to day life. Ideal as a family home or for a sociable couple, there’s no shortage of space and the layout lends itself to many different needs and stages of life. You have beautiful timbers and exposed brick fireplaces alongside open plan areas with large areas of glazing that let the light pour in to the well-proportioned rooms and frame gorgeous views over the stylishly-landscaped gardens beyond.

Welcoming And VersatileAt the very centre of the property there’s an open plan kitchen, dining area, family room and snug that’s perfect for entertaining, ideal for keen cooks. It’s also, as the owners have found, somewhere that’s brilliant for young children, as you can keep an eye on them doing homework while you cook, have them colouring sitting up at the table, enjoying a snack, sitting in front of the log burner or running in and out of the garden to play. Double doors lead onto a formal dining room that could instead be used as a playroom or additional sitting room if desired. The main sitting room opens onto a modern garden room, with the contemporary feel contrasting beautifully with the cosy nature of the sitting room, its gorgeous herringbone fireplace taking centre stage. “We love having parts of the house that are more intimate and cosy, with other more open plan areas where we can host family or have our grandchildren over. Christmas is a big deal for our family and the house lends itself both to decoration and to the festivities.”

A Holiday FeelThe house makes the most of the setting, with large windows framing the views in all directions and doors out from the kitchen and the garden room. The main part of the garden is south facing so it gets the sun all day and can be wonderful and warm on the terrace that runs along the rear of the property. There’s lots of wildlife to see, including squirrels, so you’ll have to be quick if you want to keep the walnuts to yourself! “We’ve seen every type of bird, including green woodpeckers,” smile the owners. The house is on the road so it’s very quick to get out and about, whether to the schools and supermarket down the road at Stalham or the neighbouring garden centre, farm shop and café, but mature trees and a generous front garden ensure you’re both peaceful and private at home. “We’re only a few miles from Wroxham, the capital of the Broads and from the coast. It’s a popular spot with holidaymakers so there are lots of lovely gastropubs, walks and places to visit nearby too.”

Intro..The current owners built the property in 1992, replacing a single storey dwelling. It stands centrally within its landscaped gardens of 0.75 acres. A rear extension incorporating a garden room replaced the old sun lounge in 2014, whilst a new boiler was introduced in 2011. The home presents beautifully throughout with two bedrooms located to the first floor, with a central shower room accessing both. Whilst up to three bedrooms can be found on the ground floor. The open plan breakfast kitchen serves as the heart of the home and can be found to its rear, where the property’s south facing nature ensures plenty of natural light for the majority of the day. The rear right corner of the garden has access out to an un-adopted loke (Nobb’s Loke) which provides separate access to the rear
