DESCRIPTION

Set within approximately 1.9 acres of beautifully established grounds and enjoying far-reaching countryside views, this substantial detached residence offers a rare combination of space, privacy and lifestyle. Occupied by the same family for over three decades, the property presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a home with generous accommodation, extensive gardens, garaging and remarkable potential in one of Norfolk's most desirable village settings.

Positioned behind gated entrances and surrounded by mature landscaped grounds, the house enjoys an enviable sense of seclusion whilst remaining within easy reach of Norwich, the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and excellent transport links.

Designed for family living, the accommodation extends to over two floors and offers a natural flow between the principal reception spaces. Large windows frame views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, creating a constant connection to the outdoors. The dual-aspect sitting room is particularly impressive, enjoying a bright south and west-facing orientation with direct access to the terrace, making it an ideal space for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful setting.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen, breakfast room and adjoining dining space provide a practical yet sociable arrangement for modern family life, complemented by a utility room, boot room and integral double garage. A separate garden room offers a versatile retreat overlooking the grounds, equally suited as a snug, reading room, home office or hobby space.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned double bedrooms enjoy attractive outlooks across the gardens and surrounding landscape. The principal suite benefits from en-suite facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family members, guests or home working.
__________

OUTSIDE

The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Extending to approximately 1.9 acres, they provide an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, with mature specimen trees, established planting, orchard, pond and numerous areas to explore, relax and entertain. The fully enclosed nature of the grounds creates a secure and private environment, ideal for families, gardening enthusiasts and those seeking a closer connection with nature.

Adding further appeal is the existing pool house and swimming pool complex. While requiring refurbishment, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke leisure and entertaining facility, adding significant lifestyle value to an already exceptional home.

Properties offering this level of privacy, land, potential and accessibility are increasingly rare. This is a home that combines the tranquillity of countryside living with the convenience of a highly regarded village location, creating a unique opportunity for its next custodians.
__________

SITUATION

Set in a beautifully rural position yet unexpectedly close to the city, this location offers the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquillity. The property enjoys open, rolling countryside views to both the front and rear, creating a peaceful setting with a strong sense of space and privacy.

Located in the sought-after village of Little Melton, just south-west of Norwich, the area is well known for combining countryside living with excellent connectivity. The A47 Southern Bypass and A11 are easily accessible, providing convenient routes to Norwich city centre, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and the University of East Anglia.

Little Melton has a thriving village community and a good range of local amenities, including a highly regarded primary school, village pub, local shop, and garage. A Sainsbury’s superstore is also close by, just off the A47, along with several well-regarded country pubs and restaurants.

The village is particularly popular with families and professionals, especially those working in education and healthcare, thanks to its combination of rural surroundings, strong community spirit, and excellent transport links.
