4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this spacious and stylishly presented family home, occupying beautifully maintained grounds of around 1.2 acres in a delightful rural setting, with exceptional views over the neighbouring countryside. The property has been extended and adapted by the current owners to provide versatile ground floor living space, with generously proportioned bedroom accommodation on the first floor. Outside, the gardens are a striking feature, with so many areas of interest, including formal gardens, a wildlife pond, vegetable patch and a 0.5 acre grazing paddock which could accommodate a pony or other livestock. There are also a variety of useful outbuildings, as well as a superb south-facing terrace, which provides the perfect place to entertain family and friends.

The property is situated in the pretty village of Blo Norton, a small and friendly community in rural south-west Norfolk, with easy access onto a major transport networks. The village is only a short drive from the A11 and close to both Diss ( 6 miles) and Thetford (10 miles), which offer a wide range of amenities as well as a train service to London, Norwich and Cambridge. The city of Norwich is around 20 miles to the north, whilst the popular town of Bury St. Edmunds is a similar distance to the south.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the bright and spacious reception, with stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors into the formal dining room and sitting room. The sitting room is a well proportioned family space with a woodburning stove serving as the main focal point and double doors opening into the garden room. In the corner of the sitting room, there is also a door leading into the highly versatile bay-fronted study, which enjoys aspect views and has also been used as a ground floor bedroom in the past. The garden room is a superb addition to the ground floor, offering adaptable reception space as well as the best vantage point to enjoy the exceptional south facing view to the rear.

The kitchen/breakfast room is another well sized and social space, with bi-folding doors opening from the breakfast area out onto the deck. The adjacent kitchen comprises a collection of cream fronted storage units and solid Oak work surfaces, incorporating a double sink unit and a free-standing range cooker with a bottled gas hob. A door from the kitchen leads into the dining room, which is another multi use room with exposed timber work, which could be adapted for a number of purposes.

The breakfast area opens out to a large utility/boot room, which has a further range of built-in storage as well as space for additional appliances. In this part of the house, there is also a neatly appointed ground floor shower room and a door into the garage with a usable loft space. This section of the property could easily be adapted into a self-contained annex or an additional bedroom suite, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consent.

Upstairs there are three spacious double bedrooms arranged around the gallery landing, all of which are served by a luxurious 4-piece family bathroom, featuring a freestanding bath and a 1.4m shower enclosure. The master bedroom has the added convenience of a bespoke dressing room, whilst bedrooms 1 and 3 enjoy far-reaching views over the adjoining countryside to the rear.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over a carriage style driveway which provides plenty of parking and turning space in front of the house and garage. The house is located to the east of the plot, with a vegetable garden, formal gardens and the delightful south-facing terrace all at the rear of the property. The central part of the plot enjoys a more naturalistic feel, with a small woodland, a wildlife pond and sapling trees, as well as a grouping of useful outbuildings. These include a former stable block which has been converted into a workshop and a well-equipped pottery studio, complete with power and lighting.

The area to the west of the site (which measures around 0.5 acres) is currently left to grass, but has previously been the home to a pony and alpacas. This part of the garden has individual road access and may present a development opportunity, although this option has never been formally explored.
