5 bedroom detached house

Veksebo is a substantial traditionally built detached house of brick elevations under a tiled roof. The house was built in the early nineties and has subsequently been extended and modernised during the current owner’s tenure. Throughout the house are high quality fittings and of particular note is the kitchen which has local handmade oak doors, granite work surfaces and top quality appliances. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers flexibility helped by the two staircases. Overlooking the delightful rear garden is the most spectacular two storey garden room which offers wonderful views, and gives a secondary access via a fine staircase to some of the bedrooms via a mezzanine, which creates an indoor balcony effect. The garden room has underfloor heating, an eco wood pellet stove and numerous sitting and working areas. It extends the entire length of the house and has four sets of French doors to the terrace beyond. There is also a fine sitting room and dining room. Veksebo is a very light house and wonderful for entertaining as it flows very well and has generous rooms, many of which link directly to the outside and the numerous terraces.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has a superb en-suite bathroom with Tylo steam room containing a state of the art shower which has various programmes. On the top floor is a large open space which could be used as a bedroom, playroom or a generous office. The house would suit a family or a couple very well, and is particularly energy efficient. Being built in the nineties the house is completely double glazed and has solar panels which produce revenue and offset the electricity bills.

Veksebo is located on the outskirts of the popular and picturesque village of Aldborough in north Norfolk.

There are some excellent public houses in the area including the Walpole Arms at Itteringham, Saracen’s Head and the Gunton Arms.

Veksebo is approached via an in-out tarmac gravel coated driveway with passing places ending in a parking and turning area by the garages and in front of the house. The drive passes through some extremely well maintained areas of woodland, much of which is lit and under-planted with spring bulbs. There are some extremely fine trees, mostly deciduous and expanses of lawn, between them. To the north and east of the house are further areas of garden mainly laid to lawn interspersed with a mixture of broad leaf and coniferous trees and boarded by mature beech hedging. The hard tennis court, which has been well maintained, is just to the east of the house and is sheltered with high hedging around it. There are a number of sun traps at Veksbeo with terraced areas strategically planned for outside dining and entertaining. There is a fine Magnolia just to the south of the house and some superb shrubs and bushes. Adjacent to the house is a large paved terrace, with a granite work surfaces and seating.
