The Property
Stepping under the ornate storm porch we enter Sunbeam Cottage via the front door where the large reception hall welcomes us. The surprising feeling of space and character that run through the home are instantly apparent. Stone flooring offers an attractive yet practical solution underfoot whilst the decorative staircase rises to the first floor. An open fire place houses the first of the wood burners and a large cupboard provides a spot to hide our coats and boots. At the rear we pass a lobby area which leads to the recently re-fitted ground floor shower and cloakroom whilst to each side of the hall doors open to the two main reception rooms. On the left we enter the living room, approaching 24.ft this room offers space for family life and entertaining. A feature fire offers a cosy focal point to the room whilst three windows and French doors to the patio fill the room with natural light. Across the hall we enter the dining room, currently used as a sitting room, this space again enjoys an open fire with wood burner in place, two windows take in the stunning garden and field views beyond and door opens to the kitchen. The kitchen enjoys a view of the rear garden and rolling vista beyond. Fitted with a modern yet sympathetic range of wall and base units the room offers plenty of storage and working space. A range of fitted appliances feature. From here a door opens to the impressive utility room which in-turn opens to the gardens. The utility is of such a size that the option to provide a separate kitchen area for the annexe space whilst still retaining a utility to the main house is very achievable. From here a charming arched door way leads into the annexe which also enjoys independent access from outside if preferred. The annexe consists of two large rooms which have been opened up to provide one large bed/sitting area. The space again benefits from the enviable views to the front aspect whilst French doors lead to the garden where ample space is provided to again offer the annexe its own private garden space. Back inside we step into a large lobby area which in-turn leads to the delightful shower room. Finished to an exceptional standard this 'wet' shower room is fully tiled and offers a classic high level WC and sink. Returning to the main house we climb the stairs to the first floor landing which opens to all four bedrooms, bathroom and second first floor WC. At the head of the stairs we find the first two double bedrooms looking to the front of the property. The smaller of these is fitted with a multitude of wardrobes and has been used as a dressing room by our vendor. At the rear we find the main bathroom and separate WC set either side of the large landing area where we enjoy the rolling field views to the rear. Along the landing we find the smallest of the four double rooms set to the rear and the impressive master bedroom which completes the accommodation. This generous room enjoys a double aspect making the most of the surrounding views.

Outside
Approaching Sunbeam Cottage from the Norwich Road this charming cottage lives up to its name. A generous off road parking area leads from the road whilst to the front of the property we find a quintessential cottage garden stocked with a vast range of native flowers, bulbs and shrubs which fill the space with colour and scent. A brick path leads us to the front door where we step below the porch and enter the house. Gated access to the side of the property leads us to the rear garden. Here we find the independent access to the annexe if needed and a large patio area which offers the potential to provide the annexe with its own low maintenance garden. A further patio runs to the rear of the house and leads to the lawned garden which looks over a range of planted beds and beyond the hedgerow to the stunning open views. On the west side of the plot a further large area of lawn is framed by a range of established hedges. A timber summer house and shed are in situ.
