An extraordinary property, Sootswillow is a true embodiment of a tranquil and joyful lifestyle. The visionary owners commissioned this home, which has provided them with 26 years of peace, serenity, and happiness. Embraced by its secluded plot, surrounded by picturesque farmland and country lanes, it offers the perfect setting for abundant dog walks, immersing yourself in nature's beauty.

Nestled in the serene village of Flordon, time seems to stand still, creating an idyllic backdrop for our sellers to nurture their family. Here, the pace of life gently flows, offering a respite from the London life they left behind. Flordon, with its tranquil atmosphere and charming community, has provided the ideal sanctuary for them to create lasting memories and cultivate a truly enriching lifestyle.

As you enter through the welcoming gates, ample parking awaits you. The layout of the house is designed to create a seamless flow, combining generous entertaining spaces with three ground floor bedrooms, while the first floor boasts a luxurious principal bedroom with an en-suite and dressing room.

During the winter months, the sitting room becomes a cosy haven with a wood-burning stove, whilst the summer months are equally delightful as the bi-fold doors open onto an extensive deck, seamlessly blending the indoor and outdoor spaces. The heart of this home is the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, accompanied by a utility room and opening into the versatile dining room, which can easily be transformed into a playroom, extra bedroom, or snug, catering to your family's needs.

The bathrooms offer modern finishes and excellent functionality. An inviting conservatory serves as a charming entrance and a peaceful retreat. The former garage has been transformed into a workshop and music room, adding value and versatility for the current owners.

The meticulously landscaped gardens are a true delight. With lush lawns, mature borders bursting with colourful flora, and a captivating wildlife-filled pond, they provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The stunning deck, accessible from both the kitchen and sitting room, offers a place to unwind while gazing out towards the enchanting woods. Ample seating areas provide space for entertainment, relaxation, and socialising, all enhanced by the glass balustrading that frames the leafy backdrop. You will feel as though you are perched among the treetops, serenaded by the melodies of chirping birds - an idyllic lifestyle for those seeking solace and connection with nature. 

FLORDON A quiet village just south of Norwich, Flordon was once home to many a character and a range of thriving businesses. Today, there's a strong community feel, with amenities being provided by the surrounding villages, just a couple of miles in each direction.

Flordon Common, just to the west of the village is classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the rare plants and creatures found here, and it's a wonderful place for walking or observing wildlife.

About five miles north west, Wymondham is a bustling town, famous for its Abbey, and offers direct train links to Norwich, Cambridge and London, Kings Cross making it ideal for commuting.

Wymondham provides excellent facilities including a Waitrose supermarket and an interesting array of boutique shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. There are also well regarded primary and secondary schools.
