6 bedroom detached house for sale

A modern mansion of the highest order which subtly blends classic, architectural symmetry of the Georgian period with elegant and stylish interiors, along with contemporary luxuries and efficiency.

Yardleigh House is a beguiling mix of timeless, Georgian-style architecture and modern, elegant luxury which creates the perfect home for today's lifestyle in Norfolk.

Completed in 2017, and built by the present owners to an exemplary standard and specification, this exceptional residence spans more than 7,800 sq. ft. along with garaging, workshop, and a self-contained guest annexe.

A handsome façade echoes classic architectural symmetry from the Georgian era with mellow red brick elevations, sash windows, slate-tiled roofing, and a central portico entrance.

The main residence boasts expansive accommodation set over three floors and extends to around 5,000 sq. ft. Key highlights include formal receptions of grand scale, six bedrooms and five bathrooms, a luxurious kitchen and all of the essential supporting accommodation a house of this magnitude requires.

Fundamental specification includes solid oak internal doors, double glazed sash windows throughout, air source heating which is underfloor to the ground and first floor accommodation, and both stylish and timeless bathrooms and kitchen.

On entering the house, you are greeted by a wonderful reception hall which features a bespoke aged oak staircase with locally sourced timber which was felled and stored by the owner's father many years before.

Flanking the central hall - in classic Georgian style - are two grand receptions. Firstly, the formal drawing room with fireplace and french doors onto a sun terrace. The formal dining room is perfect for entertaining on a grand scale and can comfortably accommodate 12 to 14 guests for dining.

The kitchen/breakfast room features in-frame shaker-style cabinetry capped in black granite worktops and complemented by a comprehensive range of integral appliances. The kitchen includes an informal dining area ideal for family gatherings which extends out onto a terrace and the garden. A spacious utility/laundry room supports the kitchen, whilst a study, guest WC and rear boot room/lobby complete the grounds floor accommodation.

Rising elegantly to the first floor, via the oak staircase, you arrive at a central galleried landing which provides enormous aeration space and access to four principal bedroom suites.

Each of the bedrooms feature luxurious en-suite shower rooms and - notably - the sumptuous master suite includes a dressing room and lavish en-suite bathroom.

The second floor features two expansive and versatile bedrooms served by a family sized bathroom. This floor is perfect for accommodating extended family and friends for those special gatherings but could also provide ancillary living space.

Set in the rear courtyard area is a substantial detached building which perfectly mirrors the architectural style of the main house and provides extensive garaging, car port, workshop and first floor guest apartment. The apartment spans just over 800 sq. ft. and is beautifully presented and fully self-contained with a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
