4 bedroom detached house for sale

A modern edge of village home, with exceptional views and well arranged living.

Description

Lily House, nestled on the edge of the well-served village of Colkirk, is an excellent example of a modern village home. There is a reassuring sense of being part of the village on one side, but on the other is a wonderfully open outlook with the most outstanding and uninterrupted views across Norfolk countryside.

The house is handsome, built in an executive style by the renowned developers ‘Fleur Homes’, with a considered layout of accommodation to suit many styles of living. As with many houses, the kitchen/breakfast room is the focal point for life at
Lily House, with a spacious open plan area with island unit and bespoke cabinetry. This room provides the first impact of the views, and can certainly tick the box for a ‘sink with a view', together with direct access through part glazed doors to the garden. The comfortable living room is a relaxing space, complete with wood burner, bespoke shelving and the same part glazed doors to the patio. Functionality is provided from
the utility room, a WC and a large study at the front of the house with useful storage space. The entire ground floor is served by under floor heating.

The central staircase leads up to a wide, light and airy landing with a lovely feeling of space. At one end of the landing is the generous principal bedroom, with en suite shower room, whilst the other leads on to three further bedrooms. These include an en suite double bedroom, a bedroom that is currently serving as a dressing room with fitted hanging rails and drawers, and a fourth double bedroom. A recently upgraded family bathroom is now a luxury wet room, with electric under floor heating and walk in shower.

Outside
To the front of the house is a private gravelled parking area, for many cars, with a double garage that could be utilised in many ways.

The gardens are predominantly behind the house, making the most of the views, and have been landscaped for ease of maintenance whilst also blending in with the surroundings. A paved patio links the house to the lawn, which is conveniently artificial, with established beech hedging on two sides. The paving continues under a large Pergola, trained with clematis, a delightful area for outside dining, entertaining or relaxing, with gas fire and positioned to enjoy the famous North Norfolk sunsets to the west. An enclosed kitchen garden of raised beds allows the green fingered to get stuck in, complete with green house.
