5 bedroom semi-detached house

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this substantial and highly individual chalet style property, privately situated in grounds of around an acre, with far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside and just a short drive from the nearby market town of Dereham. The property provides extremely spacious accommodation over two floors, with superb room proportions and the added benefit of a fully independent 1-bedroom annexe.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors to Scarning Lodge are welcomed into the impressive reception hall, which measures over 30ft in length and has previously been used as a formal dining area. The ground floor room proportions are exceptional, most notably the 43ft kitchen/family room, which is equipped with an extensive range of storage units under granite work surfaces alongside generous space for a dining table and additional furniture. The L-shaped sitting room is furnished with a wood burning stove, as well as double doors opening out to the garden. There is also a study, a double bedroom, shower room and a large utility room on the ground floor.

From the reception hall, a timber staircase rises to the galleried landing, from where there are doors to three generously sized double bedrooms and the family bathroom; with the master bedroom benefitting from the added luxury of an en-suite shower room. Views of the garden and surrounding fields can be enjoyed form all three bedrooms.

THE ANNEXE

The annexe provides fantastic versatility, whether as guest accommodation or for families looking for the scope to accommodate three generations on one site. The ground floor of the annexe extends to well over 1,000 sq./ft. of floor area, comprising a spacious living area, a well-equipped kitchen/dining room and an extremely double bedroom with en-suite shower room. There is also a useable attic room with a permanent staircase, which has been fully decorated and has a Velux roof light; although it should be be noted that the overall head height within the attic room is restricted.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over a private lane, with gated access on to a shingle parking and turning area between the house and the annexe. Around the property there are lawned gardens with mature hedges identifying the northern boundary and a timber storage shed. The grounds to the south and west of the property are also laid to lawn, with post and rail fences extending along the boundaries which adjoin open farmland. The plot is triangular in shape and extends to just over an acre.
