The Lifestyle
-------------------
This is a versatile home which will equally suit an elderly couple, downsizers, or even a family who need three double bedrooms and plenty of off-road parking. If you have the desire to find a home close to both countryside and amenities and prefer to find a home with an immaculate interior with high end appliances, look no further than this detached, chain-free bungalow in Hockering.

The Home
----------------
This 2019 built bungalow is one of 8 plots on Heath Road which were constructed by the well regarded and family run, DR Builders; renowned for delivering high quality building work, whilst using local suppliers and contractors. The home is set back from the road on a generous plot, which backs onto sports fields to the rear.

First impressions count, with a stylish and modern appearance at the front, leading into a light and spacious porch and hallway. The home is heated by oil, with a Firebird Envirogreen condensing boiler and an underfloor hot water heating system. The bungalow also has the added benefit of 5 solar panels.

The hub of the home is the 23ft open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with vaulted ceilings and full height windows, accompanied by Sanderson’s electric remote control blinds. The existing owner has re-designed the space with a high end kitchen and porcelain floor tiles. No expense has been spared with the integrated appliances to include a Cople, 5 ring induction hob with self-cleaning system, a Beko dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer and a 150mm Cople extractor fan with built in motor, 4 speeds, LED lighting and aluminum grease filters. This was an essential piece to have in an open plan room for a family who enjoy cooking and entertaining in the same space.

Porcelain wood effect flooring continues throughout the hallway and into bedroom three. All three bedrooms are generous doubles, with fitted wardrobes, window shutters and an en-suite to the master. There are two storage cupboards to the main hallway with oak doors to match the rest of the bungalow.

Both bathrooms have porcelain floor tiles, storage units and heated towel rails. There is a walk in double shower enclosure to the en-suite, and to the 4pc family bathroom which also has a freestanding bathtub.

Improvements
---------------------
The existing owner has made a number of improvements and upgrades to the home, including the high end kitchen and bathroom suite. There are also fitted blinds throughout the bungalow, with electric controlled blinds in the reception room, porcelain floor tiles throughout the hallway and open plan living area and carpets in the bedrooms. The garden has been fully landscaped and the potting shed will also be staying however, the larger shed will not be included in the price.

Outside
-----------
To the front of the home a gravel driveway provides private, off-road parking for 3-4 cars and gated access to a single car port. You can enter the rear garden via two side passages at either side of the bungalow.

The rear garden is secure, fully enclosed and low maintenance with slate paving tiles and gravel rockeries. There’s plenty of room for pots and plants and the seller will be leaving the smaller greenhouse/timber framed shed. There is a private gate to the rear which leads onto a large playing field/sports pitch which the current owner regularly uses to train her dogs with agility equipment.

Location
--------------
The expanding, rural village of Hockering is situated just of the A47 between the cathedral city of Norwich (approximately 12 miles) and Dereham market town (approximately 7 miles). There is a village shop which is open 7 days a week, a post office, public house, garage, village hall, playing field and primary school. Quiet lanes and footpaths make it suitable for exploring the village and surrounding countryside by bike or on foot.

Dereham is a busy market town mixing both the new with the old. Free parking allows you time to stroll around seeking out the restaurants, pubs and cafes or for an afternoon shop. There are museums, a leisure centre, golf course and schools within the town, or for the nature lovers take a stroll along the Neatherd Moor and the Vicarage Meadow. Slightly further afield are the ruins of the Saxon Cathedral at North Elmham, the wildlife and Dinosaur Parks, Pensthorpe, a bird lovers paradise and Thetford Forest Park. Norwich has good local transport links with the town, with bus services as regular as every half hour to and from the City. Norwich has an international airport and a mainline rail link to Liverpool Street, London.
