The Laurels is a detached bungalow situated on the outskirts of the popular rural village of Whissonsett and standing in good sized gardens and grounds with fine views over neighbouring countryside.  The delightful south westerly facing gardens wrap around the property to the side and rear and there is driveway parking for several vehicles and a detached double garage.

The spacious living accommodation comprises a porch, entrance hall, kitchen with a separate utility, dining room, conservatory and a large sitting room.  The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and there are 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom.  The property also has the benefit of UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout and oil-fired central heating (new boiler installed in 2022).

The Laurels is being offered for sale with no onward chain.

Whissonsett is a pretty, rural mid-Norfolk village surrounded by farmland and orchards with a parish church, village hall and playing field.  Whissonsett or Witcingkeseta, as it was known in the Domesday Book, means either the settlement of the Witcing tribe or a place of watery meadows and, as the village is in a valley on a tributary of the River Wensum with many wells and springs, this description is very apt.

The village is well placed for easy access to the market towns of Fakenham and Dereham with nearby schools in Brisley, Colkirk, Litcham and Fakenham. The north Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves and sailing, is only 16 miles to the north.

Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. Oil-fired central heating to radiators.  EPC Rating Band D.
