Description

A truly impressive home, Broadlands has been updated and renovated to a high standard. The attention to detail is superb. The elegant and well-proportioned accommodation flows perfectly, offering space to relax as well as a perfect platform to entertain and socialise.

The four reception rooms range from an impressive panelled drawing room, a light-filled dining room, perfect for family gatherings, a cosy snug and a separate study area. The garden room spans the full depth of the property, taking in superb views of the beautiful, well-landscaped grounds and the broad beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped for the keen cook and has plenty of room to enjoy breakfast and entertain friends and family. The home’s practical elements complete the ground floor accommodation, in the form of a well-appointed cloakroom, utility room, pantry and access to the integral garage.

The first floor is home to three good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a well-fitted en-suite bathroom, and there’s a further family bathroom and separate shower room. A magnificent balcony spans the front façade, providing an idyllic spot to take in the most captivating views over the grounds to the spectacular broad.

Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the top floor.

A pair of entrance pillars and long gravelled driveway make for an impressive entrance. Before you reach this fine home, you’ll first pass ‘The Retreat’. Currently used as a games room with kitchen, cloakroom and an open-plan first floor with a balcony that enjoys those amazing views. With a multitude of potential uses, it may become a holiday let, annexe, studio, or simply remain as a games room. Uses may depend on planning amendments.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.3 acres (STMS) of the most incredible landscaping. Sweeping lawns, a range of mature specimen trees, a fine terrace, and formal lawn with an ornamental raised pond and water feature as the centrepiece. Meandering through the grounds reveals a space to suit every mood; formal gardens, terraces, a small woodland walk and 80 metres of non-tidal mooring giving access for the keen boat or water enthusiast onto Rollesby Private Broad.

Rarely does a property offer such a complete lifestyle package, seamlessly blending luxurious family living, exceptional entertaining space and an enviable waterside setting in one of the Broads’ most sought-after locations.
