There is a separate utility room and TWO DEDICATED STUDY SPACES, ideal for home working or creative pursuits, alongside a W.C, shower room and utility room. Upstairs, FOUR WELL-PROPORTIONED BEDROOMS include a PRINCIPAL SUITE with a period style EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM, while the family bathroom is finished with elegant PERIOD STYLE TILING. THE GREAT OUTDOORS truly sets this home apart. The formal gardens are landscaped, with lush lawns, mature borders, and a RAISED DECKED SEATING AREA that wraps around the property, offering an idyllic setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. The elevated position provides sweeping, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, marshland, and woodland, all within the Norfolk Broads Authority catchment area. Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds transition into a unique natural environment, including MARSHLAND and TWO MEADOW AREAS, creating a haven for local wildlife and offering year-round interest.

SETTING THE SCENE
With an attractive lawned frontage and shingle driveway, views can be enjoyed over the open fields to front. A timber five bar gate leads to the courtyard parking area, whilst potential exists to reinstate a side driveway to the integral garage block. Independent access leads to the main property and annexe, whilst the courtyard also includes an attractive tiled pathway to a rear entrance.

THE GRAND TOUR
The hall creates a grand entrance, adorned with attractive tiled flooring, and stairs sweeping to the first floor. A home office and study is tucked neatly to one side with views across the gardens and fields. Sitting opposite a formal dining room allows for a range of uses, with dual aspect views and a feature fireplace. The entrance hall continues with a full glazed walk-way, enjoying views over the courtyard through full height windows. A further study/studio room includes various built-in storage. The dual aspect family room is currently used as a studio space, enjoying a light and bright feel with tiled flooring - a self contained side door allows for independent access. The showpiece of the ground floor is the large sitting room, once again enjoying dual aspect views, and a feature fireplace with an inset cast iron wood burner. Fitted carpet runs underfoot for a cosy feel, whilst in the summer months, French doors open to the raised exterior seating - blending the stunning surrounds and nature within. Doors lead from the hall entrance and sitting room to the kitchen/breakfast room. Extensive storage can be found within the kitchen, along with a breakfast bar. Cooking appliances include an inset electric ceramic hob and built-in eye level electric double oven, integrated fridge freezer and space for a dishwasher. Tiled floor runs underfoot for ease of maintenance, with dual aspect garden views, French doors to the outside seating, and ample space for dining table or soft furnishings. A side lobby leads to the utility room, W.C and shower room. Tiled flooring continues for ease of maintenance, with a front access door. The utility room includes a range of storage, and space for laundry appliances.

The first floor galleried landing leads to the four double bedrooms, all finished with fitted carpet and enjoying amazing rural views. A large walk-in storage cupboard and airing cupboard can be found on the landing, along with the family bathroom. The dual aspect main bedroom is a fantastic size, with a private en suite shower room including period tiling and a walk-in shower cubicle. The four piece family bathroom is finished with half tiled walls in a period style, including a separate bath and walk-in shower cubicle.

The annexe is detached from the main house and accessed via its own front door. The living and kitchen space is fully open plan, with a light and bright feel, garden views, and ample space for soft furnishings and a dining table. An L-shaped run of kitchen units allows space for an electric cooker and white goods, with tiled splash-backs. A double bedroom leads off, with an en suite shower room including a walk-in double shower cubicle and airing cupboard.
