Lady Drove, Barroway Drove, Downham Market, PE38

A detached, period, and extended 4 bedroom property situated on grounds approaching around 1.5 acres, offered for sale in superb order throughout. Believed to date back to the early 1900s, the house itself has been sympathetically and continually modernised, producing a very comfortable and functional family home. Just over ten years ago, a sizeable extension was added to the rear allowing for a more spacious and generous layout to be formed. One successful example of this is the open-plan kitchen dining room; measuring approx. 18ft by 16ft in size, this room enjoys a triple aspect and boasts a generous area of bespoke fitted units along with a central island, all of which are covered with solid granite worksurfaces and also enjoying under floor heating. Above this room, a new Master bedroom has been formed, and this is equally as light and open, extending to approx. 18ft in size and enjoying its own, fully tiled en-suite. Elsewhere, the downstairs also boasts an open-plan sitting/living room, a separate study, sizeable utility and additional shower room. The remaining bedrooms are all of a true, double size and these are all served by a modern, refitted bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. All-in-all, generous levels of living space on the inside and this is more than matched on the outside. Directly to the front, there is private parking which then continues to the side whilst to the rear, the grounds are divided into two areas. The first part offers open lawns and recreational space whilst further to the back, an orchard has been formed along with growing areas and space for other activities. Positioned at the beginning of this small Village, its location allows for a semi-rural lifestyle whilst remaining only 2 miles from the main line railway station and other amenities that the Town of Downham Market offers. A further advantage is that there is no onward purchase attached to the sale.
