Description

Guide Price £700,000 to £750,000.

Upon entering Hillcrest, you are welcomed by an exceptionally spacious entrance hall, currently arranged as a secondary sitting room, where the owners naturally gather around the fire in the winter months. This impressive introduction leads to three reception rooms, a ground floor shower room and the staircase.

The principal sitting room enjoys a bay window overlooking the delightful garden – a subtle nod to the home’s name – and features a charming brick-built fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining room, complete with a fireplace and inset log burner, flows into the modern kitchen, ideal for hosting, while a practical utility room to the rear provides garden access.

A particularly versatile room completes the ground floor. Currently used as a play room, it was designed with multi-generational living in mind and could easily serve as a ground floor bedroom, with a shower room opposite. This ‘wing’ offers potential to be closed off for privacy, and there is scope to extend further, subject to the necessary consents.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three enjoying far-reaching views across the Norfolk countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, with the remaining rooms served by the family bathroom.

Set within just over an acre (stms), the grounds include space for growing vegetables, distant views of the church and ample room for family life outdoors. A double garage and generous shingle driveway provide parking for several vehicles. There is further potential to extend by infilling the existing ‘L’ shape, subject to the relevant permissions.

BARNHAM BROOM
Barnham Broom is a distinctive South Norfolk village, offering a balanced rural lifestyle within easy reach of both city and countryside. Positioned about 9 miles west of Norwich and 4 miles north west of Wymondham, it provides excellent connectivity for commuting, culture and amenities without compromising on tranquillity.

Life in Barnham Broom centres on genuine village life. The local shop and post office meet everyday needs, while The Bell Inn on Bell Road is a favourite gathering place for relaxed lunches and evening meals with neighbours. The village’s primary school and village hall ensure strong community rhythms, and regular activities help bring people together.

Just outside the main settlement lies the renowned Barnham Broom Hotel & Country Club, with two 18 hole golf courses, leisure and fitness facilities, spa and award winning brasserie, a hub for sport, socialising and wellness that adds a distinctive lifestyle dimension to the area.

For day to day shopping, cafés and a broader selection of independent boutiques, Wymondham and Norwich are easily accessible, with Norwich’s historic centre offering theatres, galleries, restaurants and boutique shops. The surrounding countryside invites walking, cycling and country pursuits, while the Norfolk Coast and Broads are within comfortable day trip reach.

Barnham Broom offers a lifestyle defined by community spirit, everyday practicality and access to outstanding leisure and cultural experiences, making it an appealing choice for families, professionals and those seeking a fulfilling Norfolk way of life.
